Cloud Computing and Consulting Services
reduce the complexity of Cloud Migration and integration!
What do cloud services mean for your business?
Cloud services are selected by clients for many reasons, most importantly, they contribute to kick start projects in a fast and secure way. When correctly selected and integrated, Cloud Computing Services help organizations increase the velocity of their business by providing immediate performance, mobility and availability of services and applications for their clients and employees.
How do cloud services work?
Cloud services take many forms and some examples of cloud computing services are virtual machines (Infrastructure as a Service), databases (Platform as a Service) or CRM (Software as a service).
Each cloud computing services provider (like Google, Microsoft or AWS) has developed a services portfolio where he commits to a certain SLA usually defined in a Services Agreement. They have developed an infrastructure which they manage and secure 24x7x365. Depending on the cloud services solutions, some of the functions are insured by the cloud provider and others are at the responsibility of the client which can in turn be covered by the managed services team of Exeo.
As a result, clients get to run these cloud services without the need to build and operate them.
What do our cloud computing services include?
Exeo’s cloud services consultants work hand in hand in order to design and build the most adapted offering responding to the client’s needs our services include:
- Advising clients on selecting the most appropriate cloud service from the most adapted cloud services provider.
- Planning the migration of workloads to the cloud and the operation of a hybrid cloud infrastructure.
- Migrating their actual workloads to the cloud services provider(s) infrastructure.
- Adopting the technology and making sure that change management is effective in order to increase the usage and adoption of cloud services.
- Operating the infrastructure on behalf of clients.
- Continuous optimisation of their cloud environment by monitoring their invoices and suggesting improvements in order to avoid Cloud Sprawl.

5 Reasons why you should choose cloud services for your business
Here are 5 reasons why you should choose cloud services for your business:
1. Speed
Cloud is the best option when it comes to starting up projects in the quickest possible way. Considering you have taken enough time to craft solid cloud services solutions, it takes very little time to provision and run infrastructure services or software in the cloud.
2. Availability
Cloud services subscribed with hyperscale cloud services computing providers run in state of the art data centers on a fully redundant infrastructure with service level agreements north of 99.9% based on the service selected. Furthermore, it is also relatively easy to provision active/active or active/standby copies for each cloud resource with zone or region redundancies hence helping clients achieve more than 99.99% of availability.
3. Transparency
Cloud services and solutions are all provisioned and configured automatically and billed by usage, beyond the obvious manageability advantage, this also provides transparency to clients and accurate reporting on the usage and billing of services. Clients are able to know what they are consuming in the most precise way and hence continuously adapt and optimize their infrastructure.
4. Mobility
Often seen as the #1 advantage of cloud, mobility is also a main driver of cloud computing migration. By deploying centrally managed cloud services from locations which are connected to tier 1 Internet Services Providers, cloud services empower user mobility and adoption of services through the Internet.
5. Security
There is a misconception that cloud services are unsecure. The reality is much different, cloud services are running on ultra secure infrastructure inside data centers with military grade physical security. Threats originate from the configuration of the client side parameters. For that reason, when clients are seconded by cloud services consultants like Exeo, they can manage to close the gap and efficiently utilise security services in order to protect infrastructure and detect possible threats.
CLOUD SERVICES - CLOUD JOURNEY
Advise Plan Migrate Adopt Manage & Optimize
First you have to decide what to move to the cloud and to which form of cloud (SAAS, PAAS, IAAS, etc.), then you will have to gradually plan the migration, but wait that’s not over, you would need to train your end users and adapt all of your backend integrations to the new environment. That’s called Adoption.
Finally, you would need to manage this workload in the new environment its running in.
That’s the cloud journey, we can help you take. And like every journey, it’s about the experience as much as it’s about the end objective.
Cloud Services - Container Platforms and DevOps
Outsource your DevOps automation to Exeo, wether it is running in the public cloud, on premise or on both, we can help you build, manage and optimise your DevOps infrastructure through DevOps managed services.
Which Cloud Migration Strategy is right for you?
Obviously, there is no one way of doing this and each business has a strategy that will fit its needs. Hence the importance of early engagement and properly crafting the roadmap of the journey to the cloud.
Re-Host
- Low Cost of Migration
- Simple Migration
- Lower scalability
- Most expensive on the long term
Re-Platform
- Medium Cost of Migration
- Medium Migration Complexity
- Greater scalability
- Lower cost of operation
Re-Architect
- High Cost of Migration
- More Complex Migration
- The most optimised recurring cost
- The best scalability for apps
And if you have already done a migration, make sure that your environment is correctly secured. You can consult our Cloud Security Hardening service.
