Azure Foundations Landing Zone: 6-Wk Implementation

GETTING THE FOUNDATIONS RIGHT IS VITAL

When planning any cloud migration – whether a line-of-business application modernisation project or a complete data centre move or deploying your first production application to Azure – having a secure and fit-for-purpose foundation is vital. However, correctly specifying, building, and configuring your Azure landing zone involves complex and time-consuming planning, taking valuable in-house resources away from other projects. And the risks are high. Getting it wrong can expose your business to security and compliance risks and have long-term repercussions on innovation and growth.

SOLUTION: AZURE FOUNDATIONS LANDING ZONE Satalyst's Azure Foundations Landing Zone is a structured, repeatable, and modular service to establish a secure and compliant landing zone in the Azure cloud where you can build new workloads or migrate existing ones at speed and scale. Our methodology aligns with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework to include Architecture, Security and Governance by leveraging subject matter expertise, strategic architectural guidance, and an agile delivery approach. Depending on your organisation’s unique requirements, the engagement typically takes around six weeks, and we fix the price for you.
