Architecture design and managed Azure support for UK SMEs, backed by a 99.99% SLA and 24/7 monitoring.
We design your Azure architecture around your actual workloads and growth plans, not a generic template.
Your Azure environment runs on infrastructure backed by Microsoft's 99.99% availability SLA, monitored continuously by us.
Patching, cost control, backup and security are managed continuously, not left to chance after go-live.
Cloudswitched is an azure partner uk businesses turn to for architecture design and managed azure support that goes well beyond simply standing up a virtual machine and handing over the login. Azure architecture design uk businesses need covers far more than picking a VM size -- it means designing for resilience across availability zones, planning network security groups and access controls properly, sizing storage and compute against genuine usage rather than guesswork, and building in the redundancy that Microsoft's azure 99.99% sla actually depends on being configured correctly in the first place. Once live, managed azure support uk businesses can trust means patching, cost monitoring, backup verification and security review happening continuously, not a one-off setup with nobody watching afterwards. If you're specifically migrating existing servers to Azure, our Azure migration services page covers that process, and for ongoing managed services more broadly, see Azure managed services.
Standing up a virtual machine in Azure takes minutes; designing an architecture that's genuinely resilient, secure and cost-efficient takes considerably more thought. Many businesses inherit an Azure environment that technically works but was never actually designed -- resources scattered with no naming convention, no proper network segmentation, and no clear owner for cost or security.
Microsoft's azure 99.99% sla for virtual machines only applies when workloads are properly configured across availability zones. A single VM with no redundancy doesn't benefit from that SLA at all, regardless of what the marketing implies.
Proper azure architecture design uk businesses need includes network security groups, private endpoints and least-privilege access controls designed in from the start, not bolted on after an audit finds something exposed.
Azure costs can spiral quickly without proper tagging, right-sizing and reserved instance planning. We design cost control into the architecture itself, not as an afterthought once the first surprising invoice arrives.
Beyond initial design, what matters day to day is whether patching happens on schedule, whether backups are actually tested, and whether anyone's watching for cost anomalies or security alerts -- not just whether the environment is technically "up."
We assess your actual workloads, growth plans and compliance requirements before designing anything.
We design architecture across availability zones, with network security and access controls built in from the start.
Tagging, right-sizing and reserved instance planning are part of the design, not an afterthought.
We patch, monitor, back up and review security continuously, backed by a 99% Cloudswitched service SLA on top of Azure's own guarantees.
From architecture design to ongoing management -- here's how we deliver Azure support.
We assess your current or planned workloads, growth plans and compliance requirements.
We design resilience, security, networking and cost control into the architecture from the outset.
We build the environment against the design, testing resilience and security before go-live.
We patch, monitor, back up and manage cost continuously, with 24/7 support included.
We design azure architecture design uk businesses actually need -- resilience, security and cost control built in from the start, not added after something goes wrong.
We configure workloads properly across availability zones, so you genuinely benefit from Microsoft's azure 99.99% sla rather than assuming it applies automatically.
Managed azure support uk businesses get from us includes continuous patching, backup verification, cost monitoring and security review, not a one-off setup.
Because Azure sits alongside our wider IT support and cyber security services, the same team managing your cloud environment also manages your endpoints and network.
You get a dedicated account manager and 24/7 monitoring, backed by our own service SLA on top of Azure's infrastructure guarantees.
And because we handle design, migration and ongoing management ourselves, there's no gap between the people who architected your environment and the people who support it.
