Cloud Strategy, Architecture & Consulting

Target-state cloud architecture across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, with the landing zone, network topology, identity model and cost controls specified before the first workload moves. We design for the regulatory position you are actually in, including data residency obligations.

Business outcomes

What you get from the engagement

A target architecture your security function has reviewed and accepted
Landing zone and account topology aligned to your control requirements
Cost visibility by business unit from the first month of operation
A migration sequence ordered by risk rather than by convenience

Technical capabilities

What we do inside it

Landing zone and account or subscription topology design
Network, connectivity and hybrid architecture
Identity, access and privileged access modelling
FinOps, tagging strategy and cost governance
Multi-cloud and exit-risk assessment

Architecture and stack

How we build it

Architectural position

Landing zone design precedes workload migration in every engagement. Retrofitting account topology after workloads land is materially more expensive.

Representative technologies

Technology selection follows the requirement. This list is representative of engagements in this service line, not a constraint we impose on yours.

Service assurance

SLA, compliance and governance

Engagements in this service line are delivered under the Platinum service tier by default, against the compliance obligations below. Both are set in the engagement contract, not by this page.

Default tier

Platinum — 99.95% availability target, P1 response within 15 minutes, coverage 24 × 7 × 365.

Compliance scope

Governance

Written architecture decision records, weekly delivery reporting, and a documented handover comprising runbooks, source and credential transfer at engagement close.

Intellectual property

Client-commissioned work product vests in the client on payment. Source escrow available on request.

Service level tiers, availability targets and response commitments
Tier	Availability target	P1 response	P1 resolution target	Coverage	Service credits
Platinum	99.95%	15 minutes	4 hours	24 × 7 × 365	Yes
Gold	99.9%	1 hour	8 hours	24 × 5 plus on-call	Yes
Silver	99.5%	4 hours	2 business days	09:00–18:00 EAT	No

Publication gate G-05 — outstanding

These values illustrate the structure of the table. Each figure must be confirmed by whoever will be contractually bound by it, and the availability targets must be achievable on the underlying cloud provider SLAs before publication. Publishing a 99.95% target on infrastructure whose own composite SLA is lower creates an obligation that cannot be met.
