Cloud Services and Hosting

We help you make the most of the cloud – with a choice of platforms, and support in developing your strategy

Cloud services have transformed the way many organisations work – helping IT teams to offer more agile IT services, scale usage according to need, and reduce the risk of getting stuck on costly legacy IT.

But at the same time, it can be tricky to find the right mix of SaaS, IaaS or PaaS offerings; to manage migrations; and to understand where a cloud provider’s responsibility ends and yours begin.

At Redpalm, we help you make the most of the cloud. We can support you as you access the Microsoft Azure public cloud platform – and we also have our own public cloud, redCLOUD, for a more tailored approach.

  • 90%

Cloud services: how we help

When you come to Redpalm for cloud services, we can help you to:

Develop your cloud strategy

We help you to plan around your needs, now and in future – whether that means deciding whether to migrate your infrastructure to the cloud or to adopt a particular cloud solution.

Manage a cloud migration

Cloud migrations require careful planning. We help to manage your project from beginning to end, from design to secure configuration – to help ensure you meet users’ needs after the move.

Secure and backup data

Just because you’re using a cloud service, that doesn’t mean you can avoid the responsibility for securing or backing up data. We help you understand where your responsibilities lie, depending on your cloud solution.

Cloud platforms and services

Here are the cloud platforms and services we most commonly support:

Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure offers a huge range of cloud services, including compute, analytics, storage and networking – and benefits including high availability, redundancy and cyber-security compliance. With so much to choose from, we provide essential advice and support.

redCLOUD

Do you need more flexibility than Microsoft Azure can offer? With our redCLOUD platform, you can get that. For example, with redCLOUD you can customise server spec flexibly, so you pay for what you need instead of being limited to Azure menu options.

Microsoft 365

We can help you deploy or manage Microsoft 365 – so you can make the most of new features, adopt best-practice configurations, and can remain secure. See our IT audits and health checks and our managed IT services for more info.

We advise on solutions

At Redpalm, we don’t want to sell you cumbersome security solutions which will be difficult for your organisation to manage on a practical level. Instead, we help you to find the right solutions for your needs.

Our cyber security assessments are a perfect match for your business. Our range of IT audits and health checks, for example, provide recommendations on how and where you can improve – and we can also

We aim to offer value

At Redpalm, our managed services can help you to keep on top of threats – providing services you may not have the resource to manage in-house yourselves.

In monthly reviews, we can also recommend services which can help to enhance your defences while providing value to your organisation. It is no wonder we are a preferred provider of cyber security services
