Which servers, networks, backups, and Azure resources are still safe, supported, and owned?

Fix cloud, server, network, and backup problems before a deadline forces it.

Azure & Infrastructure

Servers run because they have always run, including some that left support or will in months. Azure grew subscription by subscription without governance, sites connect over VPNs nobody fully understands, and the backups have never been restore-tested, so the real recovery time is a guess.

What gets delivered

Workloads are moved, upgraded, or retired onto supported paths, the Azure estate is put under governance with named owners, connectivity is stabilized and documented, and recovery stops being an assumption because the restores are actually run and timed.

What made you look today?

Common reasons this becomes urgent

Windows Server 2016 workloads are still running ahead of the January 12, 2027 end of support

Each workload is moved, upgraded, retired, or placed on an approved supported path before the deadline turns it into an unpatched server.

Azure grew without governance and the bill surprises finance every month

Subscriptions, access, policy, tagging and logging are corrected, cost owners are named, and unused resources are removed or rightsized.

Backups exist but a real restore has never been proven

The agreed restore scenarios are executed, restore times are measured, restored data is validated, and failed tests get a fixed remediation scope.

How the work runs

The servers, subscriptions, network paths and backup coverage are inventoried, and the target route for each workload is agreed as a fixed scope. Then: Each workload is moved, upgraded or retired on the agreed route, the changes are validated, and recovery is proven by executing the agreed restore scenarios.

Where this is priced

Each engagement below carries its own fixed scope. The price is agreed before any work begins, and the fixed proposal contains the delivery calendar and the completion date.

Also delivered in this area, as custom projects

Work in this list is deliberately not packaged: the scope varies too much for one honest price. The route, the risks, the completion test and the fixed price are agreed before anything begins.

The finished state

What is true when it is done

Every workload sits on a supported path with a named owner, the network between sites is documented and stable, cloud spend has owners and budgets, and recovery has been demonstrated rather than assumed.

What you keep

Everything below is yours to keep whatever happens next, including handing it to your own team or another vendor.

  • The workload inventory with the route decision for each
  • The governance configuration: access, policy, tagging, logging
  • The network and connectivity documentation as validated
  • The restore test results with measured recovery times
  • The as-built for everything that changed

For the full commercial shape of work in this area — scope, price treatment, definition of done — see a representative engagement: Microsoft 365 Recovery Validation.

What moves the price

The fee is set by what is actually in the environment; headcount is only one of the inputs.

  • Number of workloads and their interdependencies
  • Number of subscriptions, sites and network paths in scope
  • Backup platform and number of restore scenarios
  • Whether a coexistence or phased-move period is required
