Cloud Architecture, Migration & AWS Optimisation
We help businesses modernise legacy systems and move to secure, scalable AWS cloud environments with best‑practice architecture, migration, and cost optimisation.
Cloud Hosting (AWS)
Choose a scenario
Accounting/Professional Firm:: “Secure client portal hosting”
- Situation: Client portal needs improved security and performance without a big IT team.
- Solution: AWS hosting with secure architecture, backups, monitoring.
- Benefits: Better uptime, stronger security posture, predictable operations.
- Deliverables: Hosting architecture, security baseline, monitoring setup.
Education Provider:: “Peakseason traffic readiness”
- Situation: Website/enrolment systems slow during peak campaigns.
- Solution: Scalable hosting and performance optimisation on AWS.
- Benefits: Smooth enrolments, fewer outages, improved user experience.
- Deliverables: Scaling design, caching/CDN options, load testing plan.
Property Group: “Multi-site app hosting with governance”
- Situation: Multiple apps/sites hosted inconsistently.
- Solution: Standardised AWS hosting with role-based access and visibility.
- Benefits: Better control, reduced risk, simpler management.
- Deliverables: Landing zone concept, account structure guidance, policies.
Legacy to Cloud Migration
Choose a scenario
Professional Services: “Move file servers + apps off onprem”
- Situation: Onprem server risk, limited remote access, increasing maintenance costs.
- Solution: Migration plan + staged move of workloads to AWS.
- Benefits: Reduced infrastructure burden, improved access, stronger resilience.
- Deliverables: Assessment, migration roadmap, cutover plan.
Healthcare Clinics: “Modernise appointment + billing systems”
- Situation: Legacy systems are hard to integrate and report on.
- Solution: Replatform approach with secure AWS foundation.
- Benefits: Better integrations, improved reporting, easier expansion.
- Deliverables: Architecture, data migration approach, integration design.
Construction Company:“Project system migration + remote teams”
- Situation: Distributed sites need stable access to systems and documents.
- Solution: Cloud-first migration for core project tools and storage.
- Benefits: Faster collaboration, improved reliability, reduced downtime.
- Deliverables: Migration waves, identity/access plan, business continuity setup.
Cost Optimisation
Choose a scenario
30–200 staff SaaS/Platform business: “Uncontrolled cloud spend”
- Situation: AWS bills rising; no clear ownership or tagging.
- Solution: Cost governance, tagging strategy, optimisation recommendations.
- Benefits: Reduced waste, clearer accountability, better forecasting.
- Deliverables: Cost baseline, tagging policy, monthly optimisation cycle.
Education Provider: “Seasonal usage cost tuning”
- Situation: Paying peak pricing even in off-peak months.
- Solution: Right-sizing + scheduling + capacity planning patterns.
- Benefits: Lower costs off-peak, stable performance on-peak.
- Deliverables: Usage analysis, optimisation plan, monitoring alerts.
Professional Services: “Secure-by-default, cost-aware design”
- Situation: Security improvements must not blow up cost.
- Solution: Architecture that balances security controls with efficient design.
- Benefits: Better risk posture, controlled spend, compliance readiness.
- Deliverables: Reference architecture, governance checklist, cost guardrails.
Cloud Migration & Modernization
Move from legacy systems to secure, scalable AWS cloud environments with minimal disruption.
What it is
End‑to‑end migration and modernisation of applications, databases, and workloads to AWS using proven frameworks and best‑practice cloud patterns.
Example Scenarios
Professional Services: Legacy server → AWS migration
- Situation: On‑prem servers causing downtime and high maintenance costs.
- Solution: Lift‑and‑shift migration with phased cutover.
- Benefits: Lower costs, improved reliability, reduced IT overhead.
Healthcare Clinics: EMR system modernisation
- Situation: Outdated clinical systems slow down operations.
- Solution: Modernise backend services and migrate to secure AWS workloads.
- Benefits: Faster performance, improved security, better patient experience.
Retail & eCommerce: Website + database migration
- Situation: Traffic spikes cause outages on legacy hosting.
- Solution: Migrate website + database to scalable AWS architecture.
- Benefits: Higher uptime, faster load times, better customer retention.
AWS Architecture & Best‑Practice Design
Design secure, scalable, cost‑efficient AWS architectures aligned with Well‑Architected principles.
What it is
Architecture design for applications, data platforms, integrations, and cloud‑native workloads using AWS Well‑Architected Framework.
Example Scenarios
FinTech Startup: Secure multi‑tier architecture
- Situation: Need a secure, compliant environment for customer data.
- Solution: Multi‑tier VPC, IAM controls, encryption, monitoring.
- Benefits: Strong security posture, compliance‑ready, scalable foundation.
Construction Group: Multi‑site data integration
- Situation: Data scattered across systems and sites.
- Solution: AWS integration architecture using API Gateway + Lambda.
- Benefits: Centralised data, faster reporting, reduced manual work.
Education Provider: Serverless student portal
- Situation: High traffic during enrolment periods.
- Solution: Serverless architecture using Lambda, DynamoDB, S3.
- Benefits: Auto‑scaling, low cost, high performance.
AWS Cost, Performance & Security Optimisation
Reduce cloud costs, improve performance, and strengthen security with ongoing optimisation.
What it is
Continuous optimisation of AWS workloads using cost analysis, performance tuning, security hardening, and Well‑Architected reviews.
Example Scenarios
Professional Services: High AWS bill reduction
- Situation: Monthly AWS costs increasing without visibility.
- Solution: Rightsizing, reserved instances, storage optimisation.
- Benefits: 20–40% cost reduction, predictable billing.
Healthcare Clinics: Security hardening
- Situation: Sensitive patient data requires strict protection.
- Solution: IAM tightening, encryption, audit logging, monitoring.
- Benefits: Stronger security, compliance alignment.
Retail & eCommerce: Performance tuning
- Situation: Slow website during peak sales periods.
- Solution: CDN, caching, autoscaling, database optimisation.
- Benefits: Faster load times, higher conversions.
