OUR CLOUD MIGRATION SERVICE

Remove the complexity, achieve your ambitions

Our Azure Landing Zone service follows a tried-and-tested process to design, build, and optimise a secure foundation for your cloud environment. When customers engage with our Landing Zone services, we ensure a seamless transition by covering every step of the process, from assessment and planning to deployment and governance, ensuring your Azure infrastructure is primed for scalability, security, and operational efficiency.

Networking

We design and implement secure, scalable networking solutions, including Azure Virtual Networks (VNets), hybrid connectivity, and DNS configurations. These solutions ensure seamless communication between on-premises, cloud, and edge environments.

Cost Optimisation and Management

We integrate Azure Cost Management tools to track spending, optimise resource utilisation, and implement cost-saving measures such as reserved instances and auto-scaling. Our approach ensures you only pay for what you use.

Governance and Compliance

We establish a robust governance framework to enforce organisational policies, manage access control, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. By defining subscription boundaries and using Azure Policies, we provide structure and consistency across your cloud environment.

Logging and Monitoring

We set up Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights to provide real-time data on the health and performance of your infrastructure and applications. Custom dashboards and alerts ensure full visibility into your environment.

Security and Identity

We configure identity and access management, advanced threat protection, and secure networking to safeguard your Azure environment. This includes integrating Azure Active Directory, enabling multi-factor authentication, and implementing Azure Security Center.

Tailored Excellence

Maximising your investment

Improve accessibility

An Azure Landing Zone is designed to enable seamless access to your data and applications from anywhere, at any time. By leveraging Azure’s global infrastructure and services like Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), your teams can stay connected and productive, whether working remotely or in the office. This accessibility ensures your business remains agile and efficient in today’s dynamic work environments.

Improve security

With an Azure Landing Zone, you can scale your resources dynamically to match your business needs. Whether expanding your IT environment during periods of growth or scaling down during off-peak times, the flexibility built into Azure allows you to optimise costs and resource allocation. InfraShift ensures your Landing Zone is configured to handle future growth while keeping operations efficient and cost-effective.

Reduce costs

Azure Landing Zones help streamline cost management by implementing resource tagging, budgets, and reserved instance recommendations. By offloading physical hardware and its associated maintenance costs to Azure, your IT team can focus on strategic initiatives rather than upkeep. InfraShift ensures your Landing Zone is optimised for cost efficiency, allowing you to reinvest savings into growing your business.

Increase scalability

Azure Landing Zones include robust security configurations to protect your data and applications against cyber threats. With built-in tools like Azure Security Centre, role-based access control (RBAC), and encryption, your cloud environment is fortified against vulnerabilities. InfraShift integrates governance and compliance measures into your Landing Zone, providing you with peace of mind and reducing the risk of data breaches.
