Cloud Architecture Design

Design cloud infrastructure that fits your operation, not someone else's template. Cloud architecture for complex operations must account for application latency, location connectivity, partner interfaces, recovery objectives, data ownership, security, and support capacity. We design the smallest cloud footprint that meets those operating requirements.

01

The Problem

The cloud design does not reflect the workloads, dependencies, and recovery requirements the business depends on.

Cloud problems begin when workloads move or grow without a clear account of the business dependencies, access, recovery, security, monitoring, ownership, and cost behind them.

01

What leaders see

Reliability, access, and cost are difficult to explain.

Teams know the infrastructure matters but cannot connect incidents, spending, recovery, or performance to the work it supports.

02

What is actually happening

The workload has no complete operating model.

Dependencies, controls, recovery objectives, monitoring, and ownership are distributed across tools, vendors, and individual knowledge.

03

What gets worse

Migration moves the uncertainty instead of resolving it.

The platform changes while weak access, integration, recovery, cost, and support practices remain.

02

What Changes

What Cloud Architecture Design includes.

Cloud architecture for complex operations must account for application latency, location connectivity, partner interfaces, recovery objectives, data ownership, security, and support capacity. We design the smallest cloud footprint that meets those operating requirements.

01

Workload Assessment & Sizing

Profile every workload -- 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 or Direct Connect to on-premise systems, and inter-region connectivity. Designed around ERP, WMS, database replication, business applications, and integration workloads.

03

High Availability & DR

Multi-AZ deployment, automated failover, backup strategy, and disaster recovery architecture with defined RPO/RTO targets. Your ERP doesn't go down because an availability zone does.

04

Hybrid Architecture

When specialist execution or legacy systems must stay on-premise, Metrotechs defines the enterprise data and integration boundary and coordinates connectivity requirements with the responsible specialist vendors.

05

Storage Architecture

Select block, object, file, and archive storage according to workload behavior, recovery, retention, access, security, and cost requirements.

06

Architecture Documentation

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

How It Fits Manufacturing

How this stage fits the manufacturing operation.

Cloud & InfrastructureWhich workloads should change, what continuity the business requires, and how security, recovery, access, integration, and cost will be governed.

What must be defined before engineering begins

  • What the manufacturing business needs to change and why.
  • Which systems, records, risks, and readiness gaps shape the work.
  • What should be built, how it fits the architecture, and in what order.

Start With the Manufacturing Continuity Objective

Define the smallest sound response and delivery sequence.

Metrotechs determines what the operation actually requires before selecting technology. New material work begins in Launchpad so the evidence, feasibility, architecture direction, priorities, and sequence can be validated before engineering begins.

Discuss the Business ObjectiveStart Your Transformation Roadmap
Metrotechs designs, builds, integrates, and supports the approved solution so demand, fulfillment, and service commitments remain reliable.
A technical request does not bypass discovery. The proposed solution remains a working hypothesis until Metrotechs validates it in Launchpad and maps continuity before build.

Delivery sequence

How Metrotechs delivers Cloud Architecture Design.

Cloud architecture for complex operations must account for application latency, location connectivity, partner interfaces, recovery objectives, data ownership, security, and.

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 -- 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.

FAQ

Questions to answer before changing this stage.

Straight answers to what manufacturing leaders ask before committing budget to this work.

Cloud control gives operators clearer ownership over compute, storage, networking, monitoring, security, recovery, and integration paths. ERP on your Cloud is the pattern we evaluate when the business needs governed infrastructure around the operating record.
