Microsoft Azure & Cloud Infrastructure Consulting

Migrate your IT infrastructure to the Azure Cloud securely and cost-effectively

Azure Cloud Infrastructure: Secure, Scalable, and Cost-Effective

With over 800 Azure services, complex cost models, and increasing governance and compliance requirements, building and operating an Azure infrastructure requires thorough planning and specialized expertise. At the same time, there is growing pressure to replace existing data centers, reduce IT costs, and prepare the infrastructure for new requirements such as AI workloads.

novaCapta supports you in getting started with Microsoft Azure, migrating existing workloads, and optimizing your Azure environment. With our Azure Landing Zone Foundation approach, you’ll receive proven guidelines for governance, security, and cost management, ensuring your cloud project is built on a solid foundation from day one.

Secure Start with Azure

We assess your current situation, identify suitable use cases for Azure, and use analysis, cost estimates, and a roadmap to create a solid foundation for the next steps. We check for funding opportunities offered by Microsoft throughout the process.

Setting up and migrate 

You've chosen Azure and need a clear roadmap for the next step. We'll guide you through setting up a robust landing zone, planning your migration, and securely moving your workloads to the cloud—all in an automated and practical way.

Optimizing your Azure

Your Azure environment is up and running, but it isn't yet reaching its full potential? We improve transparency, cost control, governance, and performance so that your cloud becomes more stable, cost-effective, and easier to manage.

How you benefit from a clear Azure strategy

Reducing IT costs

You gain transparency into your Azure spendings, avoid overprovisioning, and use resources as needed. This reduces ongoing costs without sacrificing performance.

Quickly become productive in the cloud

Your environment is provisioned in a standardized and automated manner using Infrastructure as Code. This significantly shortens the time it takes to go from planning to deploying your first production workload.

Security & Compliance from day one

Governance, access controls, and policies are set up properly from the start. This allows you to meet requirements early on and reduce future risks and rework.

Future-proof infrastructure

Your Azure architecture remains scalable and resilient, even as new workloads, locations, or requirements arise. This allows you to build a foundation that will grow with you over the long term.

Governance, Compliance und Cloud Security

Your Azure environment meets regulatory requirements and is systematically protected against threats. We implement Azure policies, define management group structures, and establish role-based access control (RBAC) that automatically applies to new resources. A compliance dashboard allows you to monitor the security status of your entire cloud infrastructure at all times.

Get to a productive Azure environment faster with our Landing Zone Foundation approach

Before migrating workloads to Azure, clear guidelines are needed for governance, security, cost control, and scalability. With the Landing Zone Foundation approach, novaCapta establishes this foundation from the very beginning in a structured and automated manner, based on proven frameworks. This allows you to get started faster and reduce risks as the project progresses.

What sets the novaCapta approach apart:

  • Our own Terraform Modules instead of relying on Community Modules
    novaCapta maintains and develops its own Terraform modules for landing zone setup. This means you aren’t dependent on community modules, which may unexpectedly become deprecated or incompatible. Your infrastructure remains under your control.

  • Preconfigured Standards and Documentation 
    The Foundation approach provides pre-sets for governance, compliance, and security as ready-to-use building blocks. You’ll also receive comprehensive documentation in the form of a Markdown wiki that your team can use from day one.

  • Reproducible and Scalable 
    Every deployment is defined by code and can be repeated at any time. Whether you’re starting with just a few workloads or migrating an entire data center, the architecture scales with you.

Frequently Asked Questions about Azure Consulting

What is an Azure Landing Zone?

An Azure Landing Zone is a Microsoft concept for building secure, scalable cloud infrastructures. It forms the infrastructure foundation for cloud workloads, incorporates best practices for governance, compliance, and security, and serves as a starting point for further development. With its Landing Zone Foundation approach, novaCapta has developed its own starter kit based on this concept.

What are the benefits of migrating to the Azure Cloud?

Azure offers flexible and automated deployment of complex infrastructure components, high security standards (Microsoft invests over $1 billion annually in protecting customer data), high availability through globally distributed data centers, and the ability to get started without the hassle of procuring hardware. Existing Microsoft contracts can be extended, and costs can be reduced through Hybrid Benefits.

What does the “Microsoft Solutions Partner for Infrastructure Azure” status mean?

Beeing awarded the "Microsoft Solutions Partner for Infrastructure Azure” status means, that we have demonstrated through successfully completed client projects that our team can migrate infrastructure workloads to Microsoft Azure and meet Microsoft’s technical and methodological requirements. For clients, this means access to proven frameworks, prioritized Microsoft support, and a team with proven Azure expertise.

Does Microsoft offer any funding to help get started with Azure?

Yes, Microsoft offers fundings for getting started with Azure. Eligible companies can receive financial support from Microsoft. For example, the Azure Masterplan Workshop is available at a reduced price through Microsoft funding and can be applied toward subsequent engagements.
