Planning a cloud migration in waves: the first 90 days
A month-by-month plan for the first 90 days of a cloud migration, from discovery and the landing zone to the first production waves.
Data center and IT hardware that stays up and stays documented
We plan, supply, install and operate servers, storage, virtualization and end-user devices, whether they sit in your data center, a colocation facility or across your offices.
What you can expect
- As-built documentation and rack diagrams
- A tested recovery plan with recovery time targets
- An asset register you can audit
- Planned refresh cycles instead of emergency purchases
Overview
Design, supply, build and operate data center infrastructure, servers, storage and end-user hardware.
Hardware problems rarely start with hardware. They start with missing documentation, untested backups and refresh cycles nobody planned. We design with capacity and recovery targets in mind and leave behind rack diagrams, asset registers and runbooks.
Because we also run cloud, networking and managed services, on-premises infrastructure is planned as part of the whole estate rather than in isolation.
Our team works from Pune. We can work onsite in and around the city, and remotely for organizations across India and abroad.

Questions
Data Center & Hardware: frequently asked questions
Can you supply hardware as well as install it?
Yes. We size requirements, compare options from several vendors, supply the equipment and handle installation, configuration and warranty coordination.
Do you set up IT for new offices?
Yes. We plan and set up networking, Wi-Fi, devices, printers, collaboration tools and security so a new office is ready on its first working day.
How do you dispose of old hardware?
We wipe storage using recognized data sanitization methods, record serial numbers, provide certificates and route equipment to registered e-waste recyclers.
Do you support virtualization platforms other than VMware?
Yes. We work with Hyper-V, Nutanix and Proxmox, and we help teams evaluate and plan moves between platforms.
