Cloud strategy planning
Moving to the cloud changes how the organisation works, not only where the servers are. The strategy settles first what moves, what does not and in which order and who is responsible for the environment afterwards.
Without it, adoption fragments: every team makes its own choices, costs drift and nobody knows where security actually stands.
Cloud migration
Step by step to the cloud. Timeline is indicative.
Current state assessment
We map your existing IT infrastructure, applications and data flows. We identify bottlenecks and opportunities.
Strategy planning
Together we define cloud strategy goals, select the right cloud platform and prepare a cost estimate.
Pilot environment
We build a pilot environment and test critical applications. We verify everything works before production.
Migration and deployment
We carry out the migration in phases, minimising downtime. We train staff on the new tools.
Optimisation and support
We monitor performance, optimise costs and provide ongoing support. We evolve the environment to match your needs.

We move applications, databases and infrastructure to the cloud while production keeps running throughout.
How the move goes
Three steps
Dependencies and order
We work out what depends on what and agree the migration order accordingly.
One system at a time
Each move is tested before the next one starts. The old environment stays in use until then.
Modernisation during migration
Applications into containers and databases onto managed services where it pays off.
Cloud management and maintenance
A properly built cloud environment needs little manual work. In maintenance we follow three principles.
Three principles
Less manual work, shorter incidents
We avoid complexity
Standard services and a simple architecture, so the environment can be understood by someone who did not build it.
We build self-healing solutions
Repetitive tasks are automated, and monitoring fixes the usual anomalies on its own.
We do right-sized monitoring
An alert only for what needs action, and to the right person. The rest goes to the logs.
Security built in
Protection added afterwards is slow and expensive to fix and the fixing disrupts the business. So we build it into the environment from the start, in six layers from identity management to compliance.
Security layers
Designed together with the rest of the environment
Identity management
Who gets access to what and with which rights.
Network architecture
Isolated networks and controlled connections.
Encryption
Data encrypted at rest and in transit.
Monitoring and logging
Anomalies surfaced early, logs kept.
Automation
Protections as part of the code, not manual work.
Compliance
Audit requirements met without a separate project.
Cost management
Cloud costs are reviewed monthly, service by service: what costs, why, and what can be trimmed. The biggest savings usually come from oversized machines, forgotten test environments and disks nobody uses any more. The card alongside is an example of what a customer sees.

Azure
Two procurement models
The environment can live in your own account or in ours. Both work; the difference is ownership and billing.
Customer-owned cloud environment
The environment is in the customer's own account. We build it and maintain it.
Environment and data in your own name
The cloud provider bills you directly
Costs visible as they are, with no middleman
You can change partner without another migration
Eiliko-managed environment
The environment is in Eiliko's account and we are responsible for it end to end.
One invoice for platform and work
Technical support included
No cloud account of your own to manage
Suitable for smaller businesses
