Cloud Migration · Architecture

Design cloud infrastructure that fits your operation, not someone else\u2019s template.

Generic cloud architectures built from a vendor\u2019s reference design don\u2019t account for your ERP\u2019s latency requirements, your WMS\u2019s throughput demands, or your compliance obligations. We design cloud architecture around your actual workloads so everything performs on day one.

The Problem

Cloud Architectures Designed by Templates, Not by Requirements

Lift-and-shift migrations that move on-premise performance problems to the cloud without solving them
Over-provisioned instances burning budget because nobody right-sized them for your actual workloads
No disaster recovery architecture \u2014 a cloud failure takes out your ERP the same way a server room flood would
Networking designed for web applications, not for manufacturing systems with real-time data requirements
What We Deliver

Service Scope

01
Workload Assessment & Sizing

Profile every workload \u2014 CPU, memory, storage IOPS, network throughput, and latency sensitivity. Right-size cloud resources from measured data, not vendor calculators.

02
Network Architecture

VPC design, subnet segmentation, VPN/Direct Connect to on-premise, and inter-region connectivity. Designed for manufacturing latency requirements \u2014 ERP-to-WMS, database replication, and shop-floor integration.

03
High Availability & DR

Multi-AZ deployment, automated failover, backup strategy, and disaster recovery architecture with defined RPO/RTO targets. Your ERP doesn\u2019t go down because an availability zone does.

04
Hybrid Architecture

When some workloads must stay on-premise \u2014 shop-floor systems, SCADA, legacy equipment \u2014 we design the hybrid connectivity layer that keeps cloud and on-premise in sync.

05
Storage Architecture

Block storage for databases, object storage for documents and archives, file storage for shared drives. Tiered storage policies that balance performance and cost automatically.

06
Architecture Documentation

Full architecture documentation \u2014 diagrams, decision records, sizing rationale, and security controls. Your team inherits an architecture they can maintain and evolve, not a mystery.

How We Work

Engagement Process

01
Discovery & Profiling

Inventory all workloads, measure performance baselines, map dependencies, and document compliance requirements. The architecture is designed from data, not assumptions.

02
Architecture Design

Design the target architecture \u2014 compute, storage, networking, security, DR, and cost model. Present to stakeholders with alternatives where trade-offs exist.

03
Proof of Concept

Build the core architecture in a non-production environment. Validate networking, latency, and workload performance before committing to migration.

04
Architecture Review

Final review against security, compliance, performance, and cost requirements. Lock the architecture before migration begins.

Every engagement starts with an assessment.

Not a proposal. Not a sales call. We tell you what we find, not what you want to hear. The Launchpad assessment maps your operation before any software work begins.
