Services / Cloud Services
Cloud environments sized to the workload, not the sales brochure
Tracking platforms, custom applications and integration jobs all need somewhere reliable to run. ETIT designs, migrates and manages cloud environments matched to actual usage patterns, rather than defaulting to whatever a provider recommends by default.

Services / Cloud ServicesWhy this matters
Cloud spend and reliability both drift without active management
Over-provisioned environments
Infrastructure sized for peak load runs at that cost every day, whether or not the peak occurs.
No backup or recovery plan
Data loss or an outage becomes a crisis when there is no tested recovery process in place.
Migrations that stall halfway
Moving a platform to the cloud gets started and then abandoned once the first complication appears.
Access left too broad
Cloud accounts accumulate permissions nobody has reviewed since the environment was first set up.
No one watching day to day
Environments run unmonitored until a cost spike or an outage forces attention.
What this covers
Environments designed, migrated and kept running
Cloud Services covers designing, migrating to, and managing the cloud environments that host tracking platforms, custom applications, integration jobs and other operational systems, sized against actual usage rather than a generic default configuration.
For an existing on-premises or legacy-hosted system, work typically starts with a migration plan: what moves, in what order, and how downtime is minimised. For a new build, the environment is designed alongside the application it will host, rather than provisioned as an afterthought once development is finished.
Once live, environments are kept under management rather than left to run unattended — covering backup and recovery, cost review as usage changes, and access control so permissions reflect who actually needs them rather than accumulating indefinitely.

How it runs
Delivery steps
01
Assess
Current hosting, workload patterns and constraints are reviewed.
02
Design
An environment is specified and sized against actual usage.
03
Migrate or provision
The environment is built or an existing system is moved into it.
04
Secure
Backup, recovery and access controls are configured and tested.
05
Manage
Ongoing monitoring, cost review and administration continue under the service agreement.
What changes
Outcomes
01Right-sized spend
Infrastructure cost tracks actual usage rather than a worst-case estimate.
02A tested recovery path
Backup and recovery procedures are in place and verified before they are needed.
03Completed migrations
Moves are planned and executed to completion rather than left half-finished.
04Managed access
Permissions reflect current roles rather than accumulating unreviewed.
