Cloud & hybrid

Cloud, hybrid and Microsoft 365, sorted.

Microsoft 365 and Azure set-up and migrations, Intune device management, and the Windows, Linux and virtualisation platforms that still run on premises.

Our approach

Hybrid is where most businesses live.

Very few organisations are fully in the cloud. Email and files may be in Microsoft 365, some workloads in Azure, and a few servers still in a comms room or a colocation rack. IITECH works across all of it, so the pieces connect securely and someone understands the whole picture.

We set up and migrate Microsoft 365 tenants, manage devices with Intune, build and maintain Windows and Linux servers, and run VMware and Hyper-V hosts. Where workloads run on hardware on site or in a colocation facility, our engineers can do the physical work too.

Our founder has hands-on experience as an AWS Outposts technician, installing and servicing on-premises AWS infrastructure. That helps customers who run cloud hardware in their own facilities. IITECH is not an AWS partner and doesn't claim to be one.

How it works

How a migration runs.

Staged, communicated and reversible.

  1. Discover

    We inventory users, mailboxes, files, servers and dependencies.

  2. Plan

    We agree the target design, migration order, user communications and rollback plan.

  3. Migrate

    We move data and workloads in stages, usually outside business hours.

  4. Support

    We support users after the cut-over and hand over documentation.

Response times and SLAs. Migration timelines are agreed in the project plan. For ongoing cloud and server support, response targets are set out in your support agreement.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Something else you need to know? Ask an engineer directly.

Can you migrate our email to Microsoft 365?

Yes. We migrate mailboxes and files from on-premises servers, other providers or other Microsoft 365 tenants, in stages, with minimal disruption to users.

Do you support hybrid Azure and on-premises set-ups?

Yes. We work with hybrid identity, site-to-site connectivity, and servers that stay on premises or in colocation next to Azure workloads.

Are you an AWS partner?

No. Our founder has hands-on experience as an AWS Outposts technician, which helps when we support on-premises cloud hardware, but IITECH is not an AWS partner.

Do you manage Windows and Linux servers?

Yes. We build, patch and maintain Windows and Linux servers, both physical and virtual.

Can you set up Intune for our laptops?

Yes. We enrol devices, set compliance and configuration policies and deploy apps, so new laptops are ready to use when they arrive.
