Signs your systems need more than one home

Most businesses we see are already hybrid. The question is whether it was designed that way or just grew.

  1. A server you cannot retire yet

    Accounting, design or site software that needs a fast local link or is licensed to one machine.

    FixKeep it local, back it up offsite and plan when it can move.

  2. Cloud bills that keep changing

    Everything went to Azure and the invoice moves every month with no one watching it.

    FixMove steady workloads to fixed pricing and right size what stays in Azure.

  3. Data that has to stay in WA

    Clients, contracts or regulators ask where your data sits and who can reach it.

    FixHost it in AustinCloud, in WA data centres, with the access logged.

  4. Sites with slow or shaky links

    A mine site, a depot or a branch office that cannot wait for the cloud when the link drops.

    FixA local server for what must keep running, synced with the cloud when the link is up.

Three places, one design

We place each workload on cost, performance and risk, and write down why, so the reasoning is there for the next review.

  1. Your own servers

    Fast local access for large files, keeps running if the internet drops, on hardware you own and refresh.

    SuitsDesign files, site systems and software licensed to one server.

  2. Our private cloud

    A fixed monthly price, no charges for moving data out and data kept in WA data centres.

    SuitsSteady core systems such as file servers, line of business applications and remote desktops.

  3. Microsoft Azure

    Public cloud that scales up and down on demand, with built in platform services, billed on what you use.

    SuitsApplications built on Azure services, big seasonal peaks and virtual desktops.

Want the three side by side? See cloud services.

Managed between the systems as well as the systems

A hybrid setup is only as good as the links between its parts. We look after those too.

  • Secure connections

    Site to site VPNs and private links between your offices, AustinCloud and Azure, monitored around the clock.

  • One sign in

    Microsoft Entra ID across every system, with multi factor authentication and conditional access.

  • Backup across all of it

    Every server backed up offsite, wherever it runs, with restores tested and recovery times written down.

  • Patching and monitoring

    Servers, hypervisors and cloud resources patched on a schedule and watched day and night.

  • Security

    Endpoint protection with a 24/7 security team on every server, plus firewall and access reviews.

  • Cost reporting

    Budgets and alerts on Azure, and a clear monthly price for everything else.

From a map of your systems to one managed environment

Changes happen in stages, each with a way back tested before cutover.

IT infrastructure questions

What businesses ask us about hybrid infrastructure. Anything else, call 1300 787 429.

A consultant meeting with a client
What is hybrid cloud infrastructure?

It means running some systems on your own servers, some in a private cloud and some in a public cloud such as Microsoft Azure, connected so they work as one. Staff sign in once and reach what they need, wherever it lives.

Why not move everything to the cloud?

Some systems are better where they are. Design software that needs a fast local link, site systems that must keep running when the internet drops, or applications licensed for one server can cost more and run worse in the cloud. We move what benefits and leave the rest, then review it as things change.

What is AustinCloud?

Our own private cloud, hosted in three Perth data centres: NextDC P1, NextDC P2 and Vocus DC3. It suits steady core systems that need a fixed monthly price, data kept in WA and no charges for moving data out. See cloud servers.

How is Azure billed?

Microsoft bills Azure on what you use, so the cost moves with your workloads. Reserved pricing lowers the rate in exchange for a longer commitment. We set budgets and alerts so you see a change in cost before the invoice arrives.

Can you manage servers we already have?

Yes. We take over the servers in your office or comms room, patch and monitor them, back them up offsite and plan their replacement, alongside anything we host.

How do we start?

Tell us what you run and what is not working. A technical consultant will scope it with you, suggest where each system should live and send a fixed monthly price and a plan to move.
