Overview
ITHQ provides cloud architecture and engineering so your organisation can use the cloud effectively. We cover cloud strategy and advisory, migration and modernization, multi-cloud and hybrid architecture, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud management, cloud infrastructure deployment, cost optimization (FinOps), cloud security and governance, cloud monitoring and operations, and container, microservices and DevOps/CI/CD infrastructure so your cloud estate is well designed, cost-conscious and operable.
Whether you are starting your cloud journey, expanding to multiple clouds, or tightening cost and governance, we work to your scale and goals. Our services are grouped by theme below. See our what we offer or contact us to discuss your needs.
What is cloud architecture and engineering?
Cloud architecture and engineering is how you design, build and run systems in the cloud. It includes strategy and migration, multi-cloud or hybrid design, platform choice and management (e.g. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), cost optimisation and FinOps, security and governance, and modern delivery (containers, DevOps, CI/CD) so your cloud investment is fit for purpose, secure and sustainable.
Strategy, migration & architecture
Getting cloud right starts with strategy and a clear path from where you are to where you want to be. We help you define cloud strategy, plan and execute migration and modernization, and design for multi-cloud or hybrid so your cloud footprint is intentional and aligned with your business.
Platform & deployment
We help you build and run cloud infrastructure on the platforms you choose. From managing AWS, Azure or Google Cloud to deploying and maintaining cloud infrastructure as code, we keep your foundations consistent, repeatable and under control.
Cost, security & governance
Cloud should be cost-effective and governed. We help you optimise spend with FinOps, and put in place security and governance so your cloud estate is compliant, visible and under control.
Operations & modern delivery
Cloud operations and modern delivery keep your systems running and your teams shipping. We help with cloud monitoring and operations, container and microservices infrastructure, and DevOps and CI/CD so you run reliably and deliver continuously.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about our cloud architecture and engineering services.
- What is cloud architecture and engineering?
- Cloud architecture and engineering covers how you design, build and run workloads in the cloud. It includes strategy and migration, multi-cloud or hybrid design, platform management (e.g. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), cost optimisation (FinOps), security and governance, and modern delivery (containers, DevOps, CI/CD) so your cloud estate is fit for purpose and sustainable.
- Do you work with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud?
- Yes. We work across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and with multi-cloud or hybrid setups. We help you choose and use the right platforms for your workloads, and design for portability or vendor lock-in where it matters so you are not tied to a single provider unless that is your goal.
- How do you approach cloud cost and FinOps?
- We help you optimise cloud spend through FinOps practices: visibility, allocation, rightsizing, reserved capacity and usage discipline. We align cost with value so you control spend without sacrificing performance or agility, and we can support ongoing cost governance and reporting.
