Cloud, Backup & Disaster Recovery
Cloud where it pays. On-prem where it doesn't.
Cloud is excellent. Until your monthly bill is excellent for the wrong reasons. We help you place each workload where it actually belongs, and make sure backup and recovery work the day you need them.
What usually goes wrong
- Problem 1
Cloud bills that grow without explanation
Egress charges, oversized instances, forgotten test environments. The bill creeps up 15% a quarter and nobody knows why.
- Problem 2
Backups that have never been tested
You discover the backup is corrupted on the day you need to restore. Not the day you set it up.
- Problem 3
Migration that drags on for months
A "lift and shift" turns into a 9-month project because nobody mapped dependencies before kickoff.
What we deliver
Pick the ones you need, or let us recommend the right mix.
Cloud strategy & landing zone
Network, identity, governance, and tagging set up properly from day one. Not retrofitted three years later.
Hybrid cloud architecture
Production on-prem, DR in cloud. Or vice versa. Match the workload to the platform that actually fits.
Migration in waves
Lift-and-shift, refactor, or rebuild. Moved one workload at a time with rollback runbooks for each step.
Backup & immutable storage
3-2-1-1 strategy: three copies, two media, one offsite, one immutable. Tested quarterly with documented results.
Disaster recovery runbooks
A printed, rehearsed plan for what happens at 2am. Who calls whom, in what order, and how to declare success.
FinOps & cost optimization
Right-sizing reviews, reserved-instance planning, lifecycle policies. Typical clients save 20–35% in the first quarter.

Questions
Should we go all-in on cloud?
Almost never. Most HK businesses run cheaper and faster with hybrid. Predictable workloads on-prem, bursty workloads in cloud.
How long does a cloud migration take?
Depends on app count and dependencies. A typical 50-server estate moves in 6–9 months in waves; a single app may take 4–6 weeks.
Do you handle Microsoft 365?
Yes. Tenant setup, security baseline, conditional access, mailbox migration, and ongoing managed support.
