We design target architecture across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, aligning security, compliance, and scalability with estimated consumption and cost models.
Strategy, validation, and delivery
We select the right strategy per workload—rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, or retire—and run Well‑Architected Reviews to close gaps before deployment.
- Automation-first implementation: IaC, CI/CD, DevSecOps, and standardized tools to speed delivery.
- Validation and go‑live controls: rehearsals, rollback plans, and measured consumption tracking.
- Documentation and knowledge transfer: operating procedures and governance to sustain value.
Architected for your cloud environment: hybrid, multicloud, and leading platforms
Our approach ties networking, identity, and automation so workloads run reliably across heterogeneous platforms, and we align designs to business goals to speed transformation and reduce operational cost.
Hybrid-by-design architectures for scalable, resilient workloads
We design hybrid architectures that connect on‑premises, colocation, and multiple providers, giving consistent networking and policy management for resilient operations.
IBM’s Hybrid‑by‑design framework accelerates low‑risk migration and modernization while improving productivity and lowering cost. Rackspace and Intellias add multicloud and automation expertise to extend scalability and availability across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
Security, compliance, and cost optimization baked into your cloud infrastructure
Security and cost controls are part of the baseline, not an afterthought. We embed zero trust, encryption, automated guardrails, and continuous compliance into every environment.
- Landing zones and guardrails for consistent provisioning.
- Autoscaling and serverless patterns to boost efficiency and reduce cost.
- Unified observability and DR drills to validate resilience and meet SLAs.
