What leaders see
The system is in the cloud, but risk still feels local.
Performance, outage exposure, security questions, backup confidence, and monthly spend are still hard to explain.

Cloud Architecture Design
Design cloud infrastructure that fits your operation, not someone else's template. Generic cloud architectures built from a vendor's reference design don't account for your ERP's latency requirements, your WMS's throughput demands, or your compliance obligations. We design cloud architecture around your actual workloads so everything performs on day one.
01
The Problem
Cloud Architectures Designed by Templates, Not by Requirements
Cloud problems usually start when infrastructure is moved before ownership, recovery, cost control, and data dependencies are designed around the AI, ERP, and integration workloads.
What is actually happening
The environment was sized around assumptions.
Workload behavior, recovery requirements, network paths, observability, and operating accountability were not designed together.
What gets worse
The cloud becomes another rented server room.
The business pays for flexibility without gaining a stronger foundation for AI, ERP control, reporting, and data readiness.
02
What Changes
What Cloud Architecture Design includes.
Generic cloud architectures built from a vendor's reference design don't account for your ERP's latency requirements, your WMS's throughput demands, or your compliance obligations. We design cloud architecture around your actual workloads so everything performs on day one.
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
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 -- diagrams, decision records, sizing rationale, and security controls. Your team inherits an architecture they can maintain and evolve, not a mystery.
03
How It Fits Your Operations
How Cloud Architecture Design fits your operation.
Operating infrastructure and data readinessWhich workloads move first, what has to stay isolated, and how rollback works.
Governance dependencyThe infrastructure has to support uptime, recovery, security, observability, cost control, and data access before AI depends on it.
Systems the foundation supports
ERP workloads

What Launchpad defines before engineering begins
- What the 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.

Explore next stepLaunchpad Before Engineering
Decide what to build and in what order.
Launchpad assesses the business and turns discovery into priorities, risks, readiness, architecture, and an implementation Roadmap. Metrotechs then engineers and supports the approved solution.
Metrotechs designs, builds, integrates, and supports the approved solution.
Launchpad keeps priorities, risks, owners, decisions, and delivery governance connected.

Delivery sequence
How Metrotechs delivers Cloud Architecture Design.
Generic cloud architectures built from a vendor's reference design don't account for your ERP's latency requirements, your WMS's throughput demands, or your compliance.
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.
05
FAQ
Questions that usually decide the scope.
Straight answers to what operators 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.
