OVERVIEW

Cloud Solutions for your business

A successful cloud programme starts by understanding applications, data locations, licensing constraints and the people who will operate the environment. Those findings guide platform selection, network design and migration priorities. HANOSYS approaches cloud planning as a series of practical choices. We examine where workloads belong, how they should connect, which safeguards are necessary and how consumption can be monitored over time. Public, private and hybrid options are considered where appropriate.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Cloud licensing and consumption analysis
FinOps reporting to support ongoing financial decisions

OUTCOMES

What you get

Better-informed platform decisions: Compare suitable options using technical requirements, operating costs and total cost of ownership.
Stronger security foundations: Incorporate identity, network controls, governance and monitoring into the architecture.
Controlled migration: Use phased deployment, validation and rollback planning to reduce migration risk.
Improved cost visibility: Understand resource consumption and identify potential savings opportunities.
Greater operational resilience: Develop backup, recovery and continuity arrangements around business needs.
Scalable infrastructure: Adapt capacity as application demand and organisational priorities change.
Clearer governance: Apply consistent controls across relevant cloud accounts, subscriptions and workloads.

WHY HANOSYS

How we deliver

Business-led cloud architecture: Cloud platform and architecture choices reflect application requirements, data obligations, performance targets and budget constraints.
Technology-neutral evaluation: Evaluate public, private, hybrid and multi-cloud options based on suitability rather than vendor preference.
Security and governance by design: Consider identity, network controls, compliance, monitoring and resilience throughout solution planning.
Practical migration planning: Account for workload dependencies, phased migration, validation and rollback requirements.
Operational and cost visibility: Incorporate monitoring, FinOps and ongoing optimisation into cloud decisions.
Structured implementation and handover: Define deliverables, acceptance criteria, documentation and knowledge transfer for the agreed scope.

ENGAGEMENT

How we engage

Step 1: Discovery & Requirements Assessment

Review business objectives, current infrastructure, application dependencies, security expectations, licensing and budget constraints.

Step 2: Cloud Platform Evaluation

Compare appropriate platforms against agreed criteria such as compatibility, resilience, governance, skills, data-location requirements and long-term cost.

Step 3: Architecture & Solution Design

Develop the target architecture, including infrastructure sizing, connectivity, identity, security controls, monitoring and recovery arrangements.

Step 4: Scope, Budget & Implementation Plan

Define deliverables, responsibilities, project stages, commercial assumptions, acceptance criteria and potential risks before implementation begins.

Step 5: Deployment, Migration & Validation

Build the environment, migrate or modernise workloads in planned stages, validate integrations and performance, and document rollback procedures where required.

Step 6: Handover & Ongoing Optimisation

Provide operational documentation, runbooks and knowledge transfer. Where agreed services are available, ongoing support can include monitoring, security reviews, cost optimisation and recovery testing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why consider more than one cloud provider?

Cloud providers differ in service coverage, regional availability, commercial terms and compatibility with existing systems. Comparing them against workload-specific requirements helps avoid unnecessary complexity and purchasing decisions based on brand recognition alone.

How should a business decide where to host each workload?

Review application dependencies, latency, data-location obligations, licensing, recovery objectives, support skills and estimated lifetime costs. The result may be a mix of on-premises, private cloud and public cloud services rather than a single destination.

Does multi-cloud always mean higher operating effort?

It can increase operational complexity, especially when each platform has different identity, monitoring and deployment practices. Shared policies, automation, clear ownership and selective use of platforms can help keep that complexity manageable.

Can cloud workloads meet in-country data requirements?

Potentially, depending on available regions, service features, backup locations, support arrangements and applicable regulations. Residency requirements should be checked for each workload and data flow rather than assumed from a provider’s regional presence.
