Cloud Services That Fit the Workload, Not the Hype
We design, migrate and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, manage the email and collaboration platforms most businesses already run in the cloud, and tell you plainly when the cloud isn’t the right answer.
The Cloud Is a Tool, Not a Destination
Businesses use the cloud in two ways: for hosted services like email and file storage, and as remote compute and content-distribution capacity. Both can be excellent choices, and neither is right for every workload.
Cloud pricing can be hard to predict, so we don’t push most clients’ compute and storage there by default. We use it where distributed compute or storage is genuinely the better fit, and we keep your unique code and systems under your control.
Hosted With Us, in the Cloud, or at Another Data Center
We secure your online presence wherever it lives.
How We Decide What Belongs in the Cloud
Look at the workload
We start with what you run, who uses it and what it costs today, then work out which parts benefit from distributed compute or storage.
Be honest about cost
Cloud pricing varies with usage. We’d rather show you where it saves money and where it doesn’t than move everything by default.
Migrate and manage
We move what should move, keep the rest where it works best and manage the result as one environment.

FAQs About Cloud Services
Didn’t find your question? A real person reads every inquiry.
Which cloud platforms do you work with?
We manage Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. We also manage Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
Should everything move to the cloud?
Not necessarily. Cloud pricing varies with usage, so we use it where distributed compute or storage is a better fit and keep other workloads where they run best.
Can you host and deliver our video content?
Yes. Hosting video on Amazon S3 often makes sense for quick downloads and faster start times, and we’ve used it for images and video for our micro-social-network clients.
Do you manage Google Workspace and Microsoft 365?
Yes, both, including email, shared calendars and file storage. We use both ourselves.
What does hosting with you include?
Our hosting platform monitors and manages uptime, backups, databases and site access for WordPress, Node.js and other CMS-based sites as well as more complex setups such as Java and .Net stacks, and includes a client portal for statistics and support tickets.
Get the Cloud Working for You, Not the Other Way Around
The right answer is different for every workload, and sometimes it isn’t the cloud.
