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.
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 — 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
Cloud Architecture Design
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.
Network Architecture
VPC design, subnet segmentation, VPN/Direct Connect to on-premise, and inter-region connectivity. Designed for manufacturing latency requirements — ERP-to-WMS, database replication, and shop-floor integration.
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.
Hybrid Architecture
When some workloads must stay on-premise — shop-floor systems, SCADA, legacy equipment — we design the hybrid connectivity layer that keeps cloud and on-premise in sync.
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.
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.
The Engagement Process
Discovery & Profiling
Inventory all workloads, measure performance baselines, map dependencies, and document compliance requirements. The architecture is designed from data, not assumptions.
Architecture Design
Design the target architecture — compute, storage, networking, security, DR, and cost model. Present to stakeholders with alternatives where trade-offs exist.
Proof of Concept
Build the core architecture in a non-production environment. Validate networking, latency, and workload performance before committing to migration.
Architecture Review
Final review against security, compliance, performance, and cost requirements. Lock the architecture before migration begins.

Every engagement starts with an assessment.
We scope work after we understand your operation — not before. The Launchpad assessment maps where you are, quantifies what it's costing you, and sequences what to do first.
