Cloud Architecture
Realising the full benefit that cloud computing promises such as agility and scalability requires a shift in skillset in order to take benefit of cloud elastic, scaling, just-in-time infrastructure and other value add capabilities.
For the enterprise, architecting for cloud doesn’t replace traditional formal architecture, instead it introduces a raft of new skill to build upon traditional skills.
Our architects are seasoned professionals whose skillset has been uplifted to encompass cloud technology, but rather than being solely cloud savvy, our architects have many years of experience dealing with complex application and infrastructure estates, and data centre deployment & migration.
Our Archtecture Services
We provide a formal augmentation to your traditional architecture team to provide a Cloud Design Authority (CDA) capability whose responsibility it is to ensure cloud-based solution designs maintain the enterprises security posture, meet functional and non-functional requirements, are fit for purpose and avoid delivery impediments. The CDA also ensures that the risks and benefits of architectural decisions are understood, and addresses the additional complexity regarding the integration with other systems and processes whilst assuring solutions for performance, scalability and flexibility.
If you’re planning either a partial or wholesale migration to a public cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, there is a considerable range of architectural concerns to be addressed, such as: the target operating model, best practise account deployment, virtual network design, connectivity design, security for the edge and for management of your cloud based infrastructure, patterns for infrastructure deployment, uplift & remediation.
We provide an augmentation to your traditional architecture team to undertake individual designs for delivery into cloud environments utilising seasoned architects with deep experience in cloud delivery.
