Provider Selection

Cloud Infrastructure Providers

Choosing between cloud infrastructure providers (Microsoft Azure, AWS, and a handful of smaller regional options) usually matters less than most businesses assume. What matters more is who's actually configuring and managing whichever one you pick.

The provider matters less than the configuration

The major infrastructure providers are all reliable at the platform level. Nearly every cloud security incident we've seen traces back to misconfiguration: open storage buckets, excessive permissions, missing multi-factor authentication, not the underlying provider itself.

Why we lean toward Microsoft Azure for most clients

For businesses already running Microsoft 365, Azure integrates directly with tools your team already uses: same identity system, same admin console, one less vendor relationship to manage. It's not the only right answer, but it's the right default for most of our clients.

We manage the provider relationship, not just the setup

Licensing changes, new security features, and pricing tiers shift constantly across every infrastructure provider. Part of what a managed relationship buys you is someone tracking those changes on your behalf.
