Use our Azure consulting services and Azure landing zone approach to optimize your cloud infrastructure and business processes

Our Azure consulting services to optimize your cloud infrastructure

With both Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), the Microsoft Cloud (Azure) offers you a technical basis for mapping individual company architectures in the cloud.

With our Azure consulting, we support you in your transition to the Azure cloud or in the optimisation of your existing Azure infrastructure, for example if you...

  • need support in setting up your Azure infrastructure or creating the Azure tenant
  • want to get the best out of your Azure subscriber, but don't know how to start planning with over 800 Azure services
  • can't estimate the costs of the Azure cloud or the costs of switching to the cloud and assume that a switch would be (too) expensive
  • want to find out in which order your applications should be migrated 

Your journey into the Microsoft cloud

Are you planning a journey into the Microsoft cloud?

We suggest:

  • Conducting a cloud readiness check
  • Running infrastructure assessments
  • Planning for governance, security and scalability
  • Setting up an Azure landing zone

Are you already using cloud services?

We offer support with:

  • Modernization
  • Governance and compliance
  • Security measures
  • Retroactively setting up an Azure landing zone

Would you like to test its full potential?

We recommend:

  • Conducting a health check
  • Exploring cost optimization (FinOps)
  • Conducting landing zone verification and optimization

Our unique consulting approach with Azure Landing Zone Foundation 

Azure landing zone concept

Microsoft developed the ‘Azure landing zone’ concept to help you build and operate cloud infrastructures or workloads simply, securely and in a scalable manner. Azure landing zones:

  • form the basic infrastructure for cloud workloads,
  • contain best practices (including for governance, compliance and security),
  • and can be used again and again as a starting point for additional developments.

We have developed a starter kit to help you benefit from the concept and its potential swiftly and smoothly: the Azure Landing Zone Foundation Approach.

Azure Landing Zone Foundation Approach

Whether you want to migrate just a few workloads or your whole data centre, our Azure Landing Zone Foundation Approach starter kit will ensure that your cloud project succeeds.

We share our best practices with you, give you basic principles of governance and compliance out of the box, support you on the way to achieving your target architecture, and implement it securely using automation and infrastructure as code (IaC).

We provide the guidelines your company needs to execute your cloud project effectively and efficiently, from planning to operation.

novaCapta's Azure consulting services

Whether you opt for public (Azure), private (Azure Stack HCI) or hybrid cloud solutions, our Azure consulting services will support you whatever the destination of your cloud journey, ensuring that it is secure, cost efficient and reusable.

Cloud strategy
  • We support you with goal-oriented planning and are by your side every step of the way.
  • To build your cloud infrastructure easily, securely and in a scalable manner, we use proven Microsoft frameworks and procedures.
  • Our deployments are automated and can therefore be repeated whenever required.
Efficient Migration
  • Migrating your infrastructure to the cloud saves money and streamlines admin if it is planned in detail and supported by a workload analysis.
  • You benefit from our transparency. Detailed system analyses reveal the cost savings you can expect following a migration to the cloud.
  • We then migrate your workloads automatically from on-premises to the cloud.
Governance & Security
  • We help you build and implement a consistent compliance and governance strategy.
  • We use Azure policies to make managing your workloads more efficient.
  • We help you create guidelines.
Optimising your Azure services & costs
  • Continuous development of your cloud infrastructure: We share our best practices with you to improve your workloads
  • Evaluation of existing infrastructures in terms of costs, performance and purpose (example PaaS before IaaS)
  • Get to know the possibilities of Azure Cost Management and optimise the costs of your Azure services
Managed Services for Azure
  • We ensure the smooth operation of your workloads 9/5 or 24/7 as required with our Azure Managed Services
  • Maintain an overview with our regular cloud reporting
  • Receive prioritised vendor support through us as an official Microsoft partner
