The big three clouds, without the big surprise bills

Azure, AWS and Google Cloud are astonishing — and astonishingly easy to overspend on. We build what you need, secure it, and keep the monthly bill boring.

Microsoft AzureAmazon AWSGoogle Cloud

Azure setup & management

Virtual machines, Entra ID, file services and networking — built to Microsoft's own best-practice baselines, integrated tightly with your Microsoft 365.

AWS setups

From a single well-secured server to multi-service estates: accounts structured properly, billing alerts on, access locked down from day one.

Google Cloud setups

Compute, storage and identity on GCP — a natural fit alongside Google Workspace, configured with the same discipline.

Cloud backups & disaster recovery

Servers, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backed up to independent storage — because the cloud provider's own bin is not a backup. Restores tested on a schedule, not discovered during a crisis.

Cloud-hosted desktops

A full Windows desktop that lives in the cloud and follows your people anywhere — perfect for hybrid teams, contractors and keeping data off lost laptops. Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365, sized to fit.

Cloud, on-premises, or both?

Not everything belongs in the cloud, whatever the adverts say. Some workloads are cheaper and faster on a small server in your office; others beg to be hosted. We'll tell you which is which — with numbers, not slogans — and build the hybrid that fits.

  • Honest sizing — no over-provisioned instances quietly billing you
  • Cost alerts — you hear about spend drift from us, not the invoice
  • Security baselines — MFA, least-privilege access, encrypted everything
  • Exit-friendly — built so you can leave any provider without a hostage negotiation
Which cloud is cheapest?

It depends entirely on the workload — each of the three wins in different scenarios, and pricing changes constantly. We model your actual usage across all three before recommending one.

Can you rescue an existing cloud setup?

Frequently. Runaway bills, mystery resources nobody dares delete, admin access held by someone who left — we audit, document, secure and slim it down.

Do hosted desktops feel slow?

Done right, no — they feel like a normal PC, even over home broadband. The trick is sizing and region choice, which is exactly the part we do for a living.
