Cloud services

Moving from physical servers to the cloud — without the pain. We plan, migrate and manage your infrastructure on Azure, AWS or Google Cloud.

CONTEXT

Why the cloud

The cloud isn't 'storing your computer somewhere far away' — it's a change of business model. CAPEX (capital spent on servers) becomes OPEX (a monthly fee for what you use). It scales up and down with real need. Location stops mattering — it works the same from Riga or Singapore.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

What we do in cloud projects

Strategy and choice

Public, private or hybrid? Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or local Latvian providers? The answer isn't 'the most modern' — it's 'the best fit for you'.

Migration from on-premise

Moving local servers to the cloud. Lift-and-shift or re-architecting — depending on the age of the applications. No downtime.

Hybrid solutions

Part local (latency, sovereignty), part cloud (scalability). Site-to-site VPN, ExpressRoute, AWS Direct Connect.

Security and compliance

Encryption, identity, audit logs. GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2 — documented policies.

FinOps and cost control

Cloud bills can surprise you. We set alerts, optimise inefficient resources, use reserved instances.

Day-to-day management

Monitoring, updates, backup, capacity planning. The same server management — just in the cloud.

WHO IT'S FOR

Companies with ageing servers

The hardware is obsolete, the warranty expired. The cloud is the alternative to new metal.

Seasonal businesses

E-commerce before Christmas, ticket sales before concerts. Scale up for the peak, back down after.

Global companies

Customers in other countries — the server should be close to them, not only in Latvia.

Startups

Zero upfront infrastructure investment — start minimal and grow as needed.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Is the cloud safer than a local server?

Correctly configured — yes. Microsoft, AWS and Google invest billions in security: data centres with 24/7 physical guards, biometric access, hardware-level encryption. But 'correctly configured' is critical — don't go alone.

Does the data stay in Latvia?

Your choice. If required — yes (Tet, LMT, DEAC data centres). If the requirement is 'EU' — Azure/AWS European regions. Globally — anywhere.

What does it cost?

You pay for what you use. A small business setup starts from a modest monthly fee, a medium one is quoted individually, large ones per project. We calculate before we start.

What if the cloud provider goes bankrupt?

A fair question. We always build an exit strategy — backups stored independently, applications portable between providers. If AWS suddenly vanished, we would move you to Azure within 2–4 weeks.

Do we need our own cloud specialist?

Not if you stay with us. Cloud management is a specific skill — we maintain it, you use what lives there.
