Virtual Machines
Windows & Linux computeOn-demand compute sized to your workload, with reserved pricing available for predictable, long-running servers. We match VM series and disk tier to the actual CPU, memory, and IOPS the workload needs, rather than defaulting to oversized instances that inflate your bill.
CoversVM sizing, OS provisioning, availability sets, auto-shutdown scheduling
- Windows and Linux images
- VM sizing matched to actual CPU, memory, and IOPS needs
- Reserved instance and savings plan options
- Availability sets or zones for uptime
- Backup policy attached at provisioning
- Auto-shutdown scheduling to cut idle cost
- Network security group rules scoped per VM

Azure Backup
Automated data protectionPolicy-based backup for virtual machines, files, and SQL databases, with offsite retention. Backup vaults are configured with geo-redundant storage by default, so a regional outage doesn't put your only copy of the data at risk.
CoversBackup vault setup, retention policy, restore testing
- Scheduled, policy-driven backups
- Configurable retention windows
- Geo-redundant storage by default
- Restore drills on request
- Alerting on failed or missed backup jobs
- Covers VMs, files, and SQL databases
- Offsite retention for compliance requirements

Azure Site Recovery
Disaster recoveryReplicates servers to a secondary Azure region so operations can fail over quickly during an outage. Recovery plans sequence which servers boot first (domain controllers and databases before application servers, for example) so the failover comes up in working order, not just in some order.
CoversReplication setup, failover testing, recovery plans
- Cross-region replication
- Tested failover plans
- RTO/RPO planning
- Recovery plans sequence boot order correctly
- Scheduled failover drills without impacting production
- Minimal downtime during an outage
- Covers on-premises and cloud servers

Azure Virtual Desktop
Cloud-hosted desktopsWindows desktops and apps delivered from the cloud to remote and hybrid teams on any device. Session hosts are sized and pooled based on real concurrent usage, so users get responsive desktops without paying for idle capacity.
CoversHost pool setup, session assignment, image management
- Pooled or personal desktops
- Centralized image updates
- Works with existing M365 identity
- FSLogix profile setup so settings follow the user
- Session hosts sized to real concurrent usage
- Access from any device, anywhere
- Per-user or pooled session licensing

Storage accounts
Blob, file & archiveTiered storage for active files, shared drives, and long-term archives, priced by access frequency. Lifecycle rules move data between hot, cool, and archive tiers automatically as it ages, so you're not manually managing storage costs month to month.
CoversHot, cool, and archive tiers, lifecycle policies
- Tiered by access pattern
- Lifecycle rules to auto-archive
- Redundancy options by region (LRS, ZRS, GRS)
- Private endpoints to keep traffic off the public internet
- Blob, file, and archive storage in one account
- Shared access signatures for controlled access
- Priced by hot, cool, or archive tier

Entra ID (Azure AD)
Identity & accessSingle sign-on, conditional access, and role-based permissions across Azure and Microsoft 365. We help you choose between Free, Premium P1, and Premium P2 based on which conditional access, identity protection, and access review features your compliance requirements actually call for.
Available versionsFree, Premium P1, Premium P2
- Conditional access policies
- Multi-factor authentication
- Shared identity with Microsoft 365
- Access reviews for privileged roles
- Free, Premium P1, and Premium P2 tiers available
- Identity protection and risk-based sign-in policies
- Single sign-on across Azure and M365 apps

Azure SQL Database
Managed databaseFully managed relational database with automated patching, backups, and elastic scaling for production workloads. Elastic pools let multiple databases with variable usage share a compute budget, which usually costs less than provisioning each one at peak size individually.
CoversSingle database, elastic pools, tier sizing, backup retention
- Automated patching and backups
- Elastic scaling on demand
- Built-in high availability
- Point-in-time restore for accidental data loss
- Elastic pools share compute across multiple databases
- Single database or elastic pool deployment
- Tier sizing matched to workload demand

Networking (VNet & Firewall)
Network & securityVirtual networks, firewalls, and secure connectivity between Azure, your offices, and other cloud services. Subnets are segmented by function (application tier, database tier, management) so a compromise in one segment can't move freely to another.
CoversVNet design, Azure Firewall, VPN/ExpressRoute, network security groups
- Segmented, secure network design
- Site-to-site VPN and ExpressRoute
- Centralized firewall policy
- Network security group rules reviewed for least-privilege access
- Subnets segmented by function (app, database, management)
- Secure connectivity to offices and other clouds
- Traffic inspection through Azure Firewall
