Cloud & Hybrid Cloud

Moving to cloud without a structured approach produces unexpected costs, performance surprises, and security gaps. We assess cloud readiness, plan migrations carefully, and implement hybrid connectivity that fits your requirements.

Solution Overview

What Kerox delivers for cloud & hybrid cloud

Cloud adoption decisions made without proper workload assessment often result in higher costs than on-premises alternatives, unexpected performance problems, and security gaps that weren't present before migration. Kerox brings a practical, assessment-first approach to cloud — helping you understand what genuinely belongs in cloud, what should stay on-premises, and how to connect the two environments securely and reliably.

Cloud Readiness Assessment

An honest assessment of which workloads are cloud-suitable, what the real migration cost and complexity will be, and which applications are better left on-premises.

  • Workload inventory
  • Cloud suitability analysis
  • TCO comparison
  • Migration priority sequencing

AWS Environment Setup

AWS account setup, landing zone configuration, VPC design, IAM baseline, and security controls — giving you a well-architected cloud foundation before workloads are moved.

  • Account and OU structure
  • VPC and subnet design
  • IAM and SCPs
  • Security baseline and GuardDuty

Microsoft Azure Setup

Azure tenant configuration, subscription architecture, VNet design, Azure AD / Entra ID setup, and security baseline — optimised for Microsoft-centric organisations.

  • Tenant and subscription design
  • VNet and peering
  • Entra ID configuration
  • Defender for Cloud baseline

Cloud Migration

Structured migration of VMs and workloads to AWS or Azure — covering dependency mapping, migration sequencing, cutover planning, and post-migration validation.

  • Migration assessment
  • Tooling selection
  • Lift-and-shift execution
  • Post-migration validation

Hybrid Connectivity

Secure connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud — using site-to-site VPN or dedicated private connectivity — ensuring private workloads remain on private networks.

  • Connectivity design
  • VPN or ExpressRoute/Direct Connect setup
  • Routing configuration
  • Failover validation

Cloud Backup & DR

Using cloud object storage as a backup target or disaster recovery destination — cost-effective offsite data protection without maintaining a physical secondary site.

  • Target bucket/container setup
  • Backup software integration
  • Replication schedule
  • Recovery test

Azure AD & Identity

Azure Active Directory / Entra ID configuration, hybrid identity with AD Connect, MFA enforcement, and conditional access policy — governing cloud access correctly from the start.

  • AD Connect or Entra ID setup
  • MFA deployment
  • Conditional access policy
  • SSO integration

Cloud Cost Management

Review of cloud resource sizing, reserved instance recommendations, storage tiering, and unused resource cleanup — right-sizing cloud spend without compromising performance.

  • Cost analysis
  • Rightsizing recommendations
  • Reserved instance modelling
  • Tagging and governance

Google Cloud Setup

GCP project setup, VPC design, IAM configuration, and security baseline for organisations using Google Workspace or preferring GCP for specific workloads.

  • Project and folder structure
  • VPC and firewall rules
  • IAM and service accounts
  • Security baseline

How we deliver every cloud & hybrid cloud project

Every Kerox engagement follows a structured delivery approach — from the first discovery call to final documentation handover. You know what's happening at every stage, and nothing is signed off until it has been validated.
