Cloud Architecture
Cloud that is engineered on purpose - for reliability and cost, not just lifted-and-shifted and forgotten.
Most mid-market cloud environments grew by accident: a mailbox migration here, a server rehosted there, a SaaS subscription no one remembers approving. The result is a bill that climbs every month and an architecture nobody fully understands. Northgate treats the cloud as something you design, not something that happens to you.
We migrate and manage Microsoft 365, Azure, and AWS environments with a bias toward redundancy, backup, and high availability. Before we move a workload we map its dependencies, right-size it, and put guardrails around identity and cost - so the migration is a non-event and the monthly invoice stops surprising you. Where a hybrid model fits better than an all-in move, we say so.
Once you are running, we keep optimizing. Reserved capacity, storage tiering, and continuous cost review typically claw back a meaningful share of cloud spend within the first two quarters, and immutable backups mean a bad day is a restore, not a rebuild. You get the elasticity of the cloud with the discipline of an engineered system.
What You Get
- A cloud bill you understand and can forecast
- Zero-downtime migrations with dependencies mapped up front
- High availability and backup that survive a bad day
Inside the Service
What Northgate actually does here.
Microsoft 365 & Azure
Mailbox, SharePoint, and identity migrations plus ongoing Azure management and governance.
AWS workloads
Right-sized, well-architected AWS environments with cost and security guardrails baked in.
Redundancy & backup
High-availability design and immutable, tested backups so an outage is a restore, not a rebuild.
Cost optimization
Reserved capacity, storage tiering, and continuous review that claws back cloud spend quarter over quarter.
