Cloud & Infrastructure Strategy

The cloud offers immense potential, but without a clear strategy, businesses often face unexpected costs, security gaps, and performance bottlenecks. At Toskaas, we help startups and SMEs make sense of cloud infrastructure with tailored solutions that balance cost, security, and scalability.

Why a Cloud Strategy Matters

Moving to the cloud isn’t just about shifting workloads from on-premise servers. It’s about making strategic decisions that align with your business needs. The wrong approach can lead to spiraling expenses, compliance headaches, and systems that don’t scale effectively.

A well-planned cloud strategy ensures:

• Optimised Costs – Prevent over-provisioning and unnecessary spending.
• Enhanced Security – Implement best practices to protect data and applications.
• Scalability & Flexibility – Adapt to changing business demands with ease.
• Improved Reliability – Reduce downtime with resilient cloud architectures.

Our Cloud Expertise

Cloud Strategy & Architecture

Navigating multi-cloud, hybrid, and cloud-native environments requires a strong architectural foundation. We help businesses design cloud strategies that are tailored to their needs.

• Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies for flexibility and vendor resilience.
• Cloud-native architectures that leverage serverless computing and container orchestration.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate deployments and enforce consistency.
• High availability and disaster recovery planning to ensure uptime.

Infrastructure Optimisation

Cloud spending can quickly get out of control without a clear cost optimisation strategy. We ensure your infrastructure is fine-tuned for efficiency without compromising performance.

• Rightsizing resources to match actual usage and avoid waste.
• Auto-scaling configurations to handle variable demand dynamically.
• Performance tuning for databases, networks, and application workloads.
• Observability and monitoring to detect and resolve inefficiencies proactively.

Cloud Migration & Modernisation

Moving workloads to the cloud is more than just a lift-and-shift. We help businesses modernise their applications and infrastructure to fully leverage cloud benefits.

• Assessment and planning to avoid common migration pitfalls.
• Application refactoring for cloud-native performance and scalability.
• Hybrid and phased migration strategies to minimise downtime and risk.
• Data migration best practices to ensure secure and efficient transfers.

Security & Compliance

Cloud security is a shared responsibility, and misconfigurations are one of the biggest risks businesses face. We help implement robust security frameworks that align with industry standards.

• Zero Trust security models to reduce attack surfaces.
• Identity & Access Management (IAM) to enforce least privilege principles.
• Data encryption, backup, and compliance with regulations like GDPR and ISO 27001.
• Continuous security monitoring and threat detection.

Common Questions About Cloud Strategy

What’s the best cloud model for my business?

It depends on your needs. Public cloud offers flexibility, private cloud enhances control, and hybrid or multi-cloud provides a balance between the two.

How can I reduce cloud costs?

Cost reduction strategies include rightsizing resources, leveraging reserved instances, optimising storage tiers, and using serverless computing where applicable.

What’s the biggest security risk in the cloud?

Misconfigurations and weak access controls are among the top security risks. A well-implemented IAM strategy and regular security audits can mitigate these threats.

How do I ensure compliance in the cloud?

Understanding your industry’s regulations and implementing security controls like encryption, logging, and access restrictions are key to maintaining compliance.
