Cloud & infrastructure

Infrastructure choices.With the workload in mind.

Compare cloud, colocation and recovery options around your workloads, dependencies and operating requirements. Define the scope before choosing a platform.

Discuss infrastructure needsExplore the options

Availability and service terms are confirmed for each inquiry.

MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE

Different needs.
Different starting points.

Use these considerations to frame your requirements. Exact capabilities depend on the proposed supplier and service.

01

Workload-led platform selection

Cloud infrastructure

Assess compute, storage and network requirements alongside the skills needed to operate them. Compare ongoing usage and support costs as well as migration.

WHAT TO COMPARE
  • Workload and dependency map
  • Consumption and support costs
  • Access and data requirements
02

A home for physical infrastructure

Colocation

Compare facilities around power, space, access and connectivity. Confirm the division of responsibility for equipment and remote support.

WHAT TO COMPARE
  • Rack space and power
  • Connectivity and physical access
  • Remote hands and service scope
03

Planning for interruption

Backup & recovery

Define what needs to be recovered and how quickly. A recovery design is useful only when its dependencies and testing responsibilities are clear.

WHAT TO COMPARE
  • Recovery objectives
  • Retention and restore testing
  • Recovery ownership

A BETTER STARTING POINT

Bring the requirements.
Leave room for options.

You do not need a finished specification to begin. Share what you know and highlight the decisions you still need to make.

Start your request
01

Your current setup

Locations, existing services and the people or systems that depend on them.

02

What needs to change

The problem to solve, must-have capabilities and any constraints.

03

Your timeline

Target dates, existing contract end dates and important dependencies.

FROM INQUIRY TO DECISION

Clarity at each step.

Your inquiry starts a review. It does not place an order or automatically assign a service provider.

  1. 01

    Define

    Describe your requirements and the outcome you need.

  2. 02

    Evaluate

    Review suitable options, availability and proposed terms.

  3. 03

    Confirm

    Identify the contracting, billing and support parties before proceeding.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A few useful answers.

For requirements specific to your business, include the details in your inquiry.

Should every workload move to the cloud?

Not necessarily. Performance, dependencies, data requirements, operating skills and costs may favour a cloud, on-premises or hybrid approach.

Does a cloud product establish compliance?

A product or provider certification alone does not establish that your implementation meets every requirement. Confirm the applicable controls and responsibilities with the appropriate technical and compliance owners.
