Cloud Transformation

Cloud Migration

Move your workloads to the cloud with downtime-minimizing migration strategies and rollback planning. We manage every phase — from assessment to post-migration optimization.

  • Infrastructure & application readiness assessments
  • Migration strategy selection (rehost, replatform, rearchitect)
  • Database migration (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL)
  • Phased migration with rollback procedures
  • Post-migration performance tuning

Cloud Infrastructure Setup

We design and deploy production-grade cloud environments from the ground up. Every deployment follows security-first architecture principles.

  • VPC/network topology design (subnets, peering, private endpoints)
  • Identity & access management (IAM, RBAC, MFA)
  • Landing zone deployment with governance guardrails
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM templates, CloudFormation)
  • Security group configuration & network segmentation

Cloud Cartes three-tier support: L1 handles 24/7 monitoring and runbook execution, escalating to L2 for root cause analysis and performance tuning, then to L3 for platform engineering and security hardening.

Disaster Recovery & High Availability

For mission-critical systems, downtime is not an option. We architect resilient environments with multi-region failover, automated backups, and tested recovery procedures.

Multi-Region Disaster Recovery ArchitectureActive-passive disaster recovery topology with primary region running compute, database, and storage workloads. Bi-directional replication arrows connect to a secondary region with identical infrastructure for automatic failover.Primary RegionACTIVEComputeDatabaseStorageSecondary RegionSTANDBYComputeDatabaseStorageREPLICATIONFAILOVERRTO < 15 min · RPO < 5 min
Multi-region disaster recovery: Primary active region with compute, database, and storage replicates to secondary standby region for automatic failover with RTO under 15 minutes and RPO under 5 minutes.
  • Multi-region failover architecture (active-active / active-passive)
  • Automated backup with defined RPO/RTO targets
  • Database replication & failover (SQL Always On, RDS Multi-AZ)
  • Disaster recovery testing & runbook documentation
  • High-availability architecture design with defined uptime targets

Cloud Security for Transaction Environments

Cloud Security & Compliance

Protect your most sensitive workloads with enterprise-grade security. We help clients design zero-trust architectures and prepare for compliance requirements.

Zero-Trust Security ArchitectureFive concentric security layers from outer perimeter to inner core: Compliance Framework (PCI DSS, BNM RMiT), Monitoring and Detection (SIEM, SOC), Network Segmentation (VPC, NSG, WAF), Access Governance (IAM, MFA, RBAC), and Data Encryption (AES-256, TLS 1.3).CORECompliance FrameworkPCI DSS · BNM RMiTMonitoring & DetectionSIEM · SOCNetwork SegmentationVPC · NSG · WAFAccess GovernanceIAM · MFA · RBACData EncryptionAES-256 · TLS 1.3
Cloud Cartes zero-trust security architecture with five defense layers protecting data from perimeter to core.
  • Zero-trust network architecture design
  • Data encryption (at rest & in transit)
  • Compliance readiness consulting
  • Security monitoring & threat detection
  • Access governance & privilege management

Compliance domains we support environments for: PCI DSS · PCI PTS · EMV Level III · BNM RMiT

FinOps & Cost Optimization

Cloud spending grows fast. We help you take control with continuous cost governance, rightsizing, and strategic capacity planning.

  • Cloud spend analysis & waste identification
  • Rightsizing compute, storage, and database instances
  • Reserved instance & savings plan strategy
  • Multi-cloud cost consolidation & reporting
  • Budget alerts & governance automation

"Organizations commonly achieve 20–40% reduction in cloud spend through systematic optimization, subject to workload baseline and environment."
