Cloud, Hybrid & Multicloud
STP designs and delivers cloud, hybrid and multicloud environments (landing zones, migration, identity, connectivity and cost governance) with architectures kept deliberately cloud-agnostic so the decision stays reversible.
Cloud, Hybrid & Multicloud
Most organisations are not choosing between on-premises and cloud; they are living in both, usually without having designed the boundary between them. The result is duplicated identity, unclear data gravity, and networking that was extended rather than architected.
We design the boundary explicitly: what belongs on-premises and why, what belongs in cloud and why, how identity spans both, how the two are connected, and what the failure modes are. Then we execute the migration in phases with a rollback point at each one.
We build cloud-agnostic by default, using Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code rather than provider-proprietary services wherever the trade-off is reasonable. That is not ideology. It is what keeps a future renegotiation or exit from becoming a rewrite.
What is included
- Workload assessment and migration wave planning
- Landing zone design: accounts, networking, identity, guardrails
- Hybrid connectivity design and implementation
- Identity federation and single sign-on across environments
- Migration execution with phased cutover and rollback points
- Cloud-agnostic architecture using Kubernetes and IaC
- Multicloud design where regulation or resilience requires it
- Cost visibility, tagging discipline and optimisation
- Security baseline and guardrail enforcement
- Documentation and operational handover
What you get out of it
- A designed on-premises/cloud boundary rather than an accidental one
- Migrations that can be stopped and reversed at each phase
- Architecture that does not have to be rewritten to change provider
Questions
- What does cloud-agnostic actually mean in practice?
- Running workloads on abstractions that exist everywhere (containers, Kubernetes, standard databases, infrastructure-as-code) rather than on provider-specific managed services. It costs some convenience up front and preserves the ability to move later. We recommend it where the trade-off is reasonable and say so plainly where it is not.
- How do you decide what stays on-premises?
- Mainly data gravity, latency requirements, regulatory constraints and steady-state cost. Workloads with predictable always-on load and strict residency requirements usually stay; variable, bursty or globally distributed workloads usually move.
