Cloud & Infrastructure Modernization

Right-size your infrastructure stack. We assess your current environment and architect a modernization path — whether public cloud, private cloud, hybrid, or edge — that improves performance and eliminates unnecessary spend.

Overview

Cloud modernization is one of the most frequently misexecuted technology initiatives in the mid-market. Organizations migrate workloads to public cloud without proper right-sizing, end up with bills that are 2–3x their on-premise costs, and spend years trying to optimize after the fact. Or they overbuild private infrastructure that's underutilized and costly to maintain. Both outcomes are avoidable with proper advisory before migration begins.

My approach starts with an honest assessment of what you have and what you actually need. Not every workload belongs in public cloud. Not every data center should be preserved. The right answer is almost always a thoughtful hybrid architecture — and getting there requires a vendor-neutral advisor who isn't incentivized to push you toward any particular platform or provider.

I bring relationships with over 50 cloud and infrastructure vendors, which means I can negotiate on your behalf, structure competitive evaluations, and ensure you're getting commercial terms that reflect your actual leverage — not the vendor's preferred pricing.

How We Work Together

1

Infrastructure Inventory & Assessment

Catalog your current environment: on-premise infrastructure, cloud workloads, vendor contracts, utilization data, and total cost of ownership. Identify aging infrastructure, over-provisioned resources, and workloads that are good candidates for modernization.

2

Architecture Design

Design a target-state architecture that aligns to your business requirements, security posture, compliance obligations, and budget. We evaluate public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), private cloud, colocation, and hybrid approaches — and recommend what's right for each workload.

3

Migration Planning & Vendor Selection

Develop a phased migration plan with clear sequencing, risk mitigation, and rollback planning. Run a competitive vendor evaluation and negotiate commercial terms before any commitments are made.

4

Implementation Oversight & Optimization

Provide advisory oversight during migration execution, ensuring the implementation stays aligned to the architecture design. Post-migration cost and performance optimization to close the gap between planned and actual outcomes.

Key Deliverables

  • Infrastructure assessment and current-state TCO analysis
  • Target-state architecture design and recommendation
  • Phased migration plan with sequencing and risk mitigation
  • Vendor evaluation matrix and commercial negotiation support
  • Post-migration cost optimization report

Engagement Model

Assessment and architecture engagements typically run 4–6 weeks. Full advisory through migration planning and vendor selection is typically 8–12 weeks. Ongoing optimization retainers are available post-migration.
