Cloud and virtualisation management
Cloud migration, virtualisation and infrastructure services.
AUL plans and implements infrastructure changes across on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments. Our work includes migration and virtualisation, storage and recovery, identity and network integration, followed by monitoring and maintenance for the agreed environment.
Infrastructure projects we deliver
AUL provides infrastructure assessment, migration, integration, maintenance and operation across on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments.
- A hardware refresh or platform change is approaching.
- You need to decide which workloads to migrate and which to keep on-premises.
- Backup, capacity or recurring performance issues need a closer look.
Our cloud and infrastructure services
Six service areas connect infrastructure planning with integration and ongoing operation. AUL can work across on-premises, hybrid, cloud and virtualised environments, using platforms suited to the existing infrastructure and the planned change.
Infrastructure Assessment and Optimisation
AUL can analyse infrastructure performance, resource use and virtualisation opportunities. We turn the assessment into a plan for optimisation and future capacity requirements.
- Assess infrastructure performance and resource allocation.
- Identify optimisation and virtualisation improvements and develop an infrastructure plan.
Hybrid and Cloud Integration
AUL can connect on-premises systems with cloud resources and virtualisation platforms. Services cover migration, data storage and unified access across local, hybrid and cloud environments.
- Plan and implement cloud migration or hybrid integration for the selected workloads.
- Connect data storage and access across on-premises and cloud systems.
Platforms and tools: Microsoft Azure, Hyper-V, Amazon AWS, VMware, Google Cloud, Citrix XenServer, Proxmox
Data Protection and Continuity
AUL can implement storage, backup and disaster recovery solutions for business information. We build the data protection and recovery approach around the selected platforms and continuity requirements.
- Implement or integrate data storage and backup solutions for the agreed systems.
- Configure disaster recovery capabilities to support the defined continuity needs.
Platforms and tools: Microsoft, Amazon, Google, NetApp, Pure Storage, Zerto, Veeam
Identity and Access Management
AUL can unify identity and access controls across on-premises and cloud systems. We implement the selected directory, authentication and access solutions to support consistent user access across the environment.
- Integrate identity and directory services across local and cloud systems.
- Configure multi-factor authentication and access controls using the selected identity platforms.
Platforms and tools: Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Azure MFA, Okta, OneLogin
Performance Monitoring and Maintenance
AUL can monitor infrastructure performance and carry out patching, maintenance and regular system updates. We review the agreed environment and address performance or security issues.
- Set up and maintain performance monitoring for the selected infrastructure.
- Apply patches and system updates, and address issues identified through monitoring.
Networking and Connectivity
AUL can develop network and connectivity solutions across on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments. We connect systems so communication and data flow support the way your business operates.
- Design and integrate connectivity between on-premises, hybrid and cloud systems.
- Optimise network paths and data flow for the selected applications and services.
Advisory, implementation and ongoing support.
Advisory and planning
AUL can assess your current infrastructure and recommend an optimisation, virtualisation, hybrid or cloud strategy aligned with business requirements.
Implementation and integration
We integrate on-premises systems, cloud platforms and networks, including the agreed migration, storage, access and recovery solutions.
Ongoing support
We provide infrastructure monitoring, maintenance, regular assessments and responsive support for the selected environment.
Decisions to discuss before work starts
- Which workloads and dependencies are in scope?
- What downtime and recovery requirements does the business have?
- What are the licensing, capacity and operating-cost constraints?
- Who will manage backup, updates and monitoring after the project?
Questions about these services
Which workloads should we move to the cloud?
We assess the current infrastructure, dependencies, performance and business requirements before choosing cloud, hybrid or on-premises deployment. The resulting plan defines migration priorities, platform integration and ongoing operation.
How are backup and disaster recovery included?
Storage, backup and recovery requirements are considered alongside the infrastructure design. AUL can configure the agreed solution, define recovery processes and include monitoring and maintenance within the service scope.
