INTELLOPE / CLOUD & INFRASTRUCTURE

Cloud & Infrastructure.
Stability starts with design.

Servers, virtualisation, storage and secure connectivity in one considered environment. We design, prepare, migrate and manage infrastructure around your applications, data and operations.

The right home
for each workload.

01

Cloud and hosting

Applications and services with a selected provider or dedicated resources. Capacity, region and ownership are scoped to the project.

02

Local and private infrastructure

Servers, virtualisation and storage where local availability, performance or specific control is needed.

03

Hybrid environments

Connect sites and cloud with clear boundaries for data, access and operational dependencies.

One architecture.
Clear responsibilities.

Access, applications, data and backups follow their own rules. Design an environment that can be managed, expanded and restored with verification.

Illustrative architecture layers. Actual topology and availability are designed for the project.

From the server
to daily operations.

01

Servers and virtualisation

Capacity planning, Proxmox or VMware, virtual machines and system lifecycle management.

02

Application hosting

Web applications, containers, databases, separate environments and controlled releases.

03

Storage and NAS

Performance, capacity, permissions, retention and backup integration.

04

Networks and access

Segmentation, firewalls, VPN or managed remote access according to risk.

05

Monitoring and maintenance

Availability, performance, capacity, updates and timely alerts.

06

Costs and documentation

Visibility of resources, licences, system owners and an improvement roadmap.

PLAN / ACT / VERIFY

Migration with a plan.
And a way back.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Applications, data, dependencies, access and the starting state.

  2. 02

    Prepare and test

    Target environment, compatibility and isolated validation.

  3. 03

    Back up

    A consistent copy and verification of the selected recovery path.

  4. 04

    Cut over

    An agreed window, sequence, communication and rollback.

  5. 05

    Verify operation

    Functional checks, monitoring and documentation handover.

Backup is the start.
Recovery is the outcome.

01

RPO / data loss

Agree acceptable data loss and design the backup approach around it.

02

RTO / recovery time

Define the target return time and dependencies needed to restore service.

03

Recovery exercise

Verify the process within the agreed scope. A successful backup alone does not demonstrate full application recovery.

IDENTITY / ISOLATION / CONTINUITY

Secure foundations.
Manageable operations.

Identity and permissions

Least privilege, secrets management and separate administration.

Environment isolation

Customer systems, development, testing and production separated by design.

Protection and maintenance

Hardening, updates, encryption and change records.

Continuity and oversight

Monitoring, notifications, backups and accountable operational steps.

Availability, redundancy, data region, retention and response targets are defined in the design and service agreement. Moving to cloud alone does not provide them.

Useful questions

Do we have to move everything to cloud?

No. Dependencies, performance and data requirements may favour a local, cloud or hybrid design.

Do you manage the environment afterwards?

Yes. We agree monitoring, updates, backup, access management and the support model.

How do you limit migration downtime?

Preparation and testing, an agreed maintenance window and a rollback plan. Interruption depends on the application and available options.

Is backup the same as high availability?

No. Backup supports data and system recovery. High availability needs a deliberate redundancy and failure-handling design.
