Cloud Compute

The operational layer between
your business and your infrastructure.

Most organizations find themselves managing multiple cloud vendor relationships, on-premises hardware contracts, and internal IT resources in parallel — each with separate tooling, billing, and escalation paths. The overhead is significant, and the gaps between vendors are where problems compound.

SFS acts as the single operational layer between your business and your compute infrastructure. Our team evaluates workload requirements, selects the right compute model, provisions the environment, monitors usage, and optimizes costs continuously — across Azure, AWS, and on-premises platforms simultaneously.

"Infrastructure complexity should not be your business problem. That is what we are here to absorb."

What SFS delivers

Six capabilities. Every environment covered.

  • Multi-Cloud Compute

    Virtual machines, auto-scaling groups, managed Kubernetes, and serverless functions across Azure and AWS. We provision and manage the right compute type for each workload, on the platform that fits.

  • On-Premises Infrastructure

    Physical servers, SAN/NAS storage, VMware vSphere and Hyper-V environments, and dedicated hardware for workloads that require local compute. Full lifecycle management from procurement to decommission.

  • Hybrid Architecture

    VPN and ExpressRoute/Direct Connect connectivity, hybrid Active Directory, and unified workload placement across on-premises, Azure, and AWS. Environments where workloads run where they make the most operational and economic sense.

  • Performance & Availability

    Continuous monitoring of CPU, memory, storage, network, and application latency across every compute environment. Proactive alerts and automated response before performance issues surface to your users.

  • Cost Optimization

    Rightsizing analysis, reserved instance planning, idle resource detection, and ongoing spend governance. We align your infrastructure investment with actual workload requirements, eliminating waste and improving unit economics.

  • Workload Migration

    Assessment-led migration planning for lift-and-shift, re-platforming, and cloud-native transformation. We move workloads between on-premises, Azure, and AWS with documented cutover plans and validated rollback procedures.

Compute platforms

Every platform. Managed as one.

SFS manages compute across all three environments through a unified operations model. The right platform for each workload — without the vendor management overhead.

How we work

From assessment to continuous operations.

01

Workload Assessment

We evaluate your applications, performance requirements, compliance constraints, and growth objectives to determine the right compute model and platform mix.

02

Architecture & Sizing

We design the compute environment — VM types, container clusters, serverless configurations, or on-premises hardware — sized to your actual workload profile.

03

Provision & Connect

We build and configure the environment, connect it to your existing systems, and validate performance and availability against your requirements.

04

Operate & Optimise

Ongoing monitoring, cost governance, patching, lifecycle management, and capacity planning — integrated into a unified managed service.

Workloads run where
they make the most sense.

Azure, AWS, or on-premises — SFS manages all three as a single connected platform so you never have to choose between capability and control.

Why organizations choose SFS

One partner. Every environment.

  • 1

    Single accountability

    One partner for planning, provisioning, and managing Azure, AWS, and on-premises compute environments. One escalation path. One monthly managed service.

  • Fit

    Workload fit

    Infrastructure is selected based on your business and application requirements, not a default cloud template. On-premises, cloud, or hybrid — we match the platform to the workload.

  • Ops

    Operational efficiency

    Compute management is a core managed service, not a separate engagement. Infrastructure operations integrate with monitoring, support, and lifecycle management across your full IT environment.

  • ∞

    Flexibility without compromise

    Whether data must stay on-site, latency demands local compute, or you need elastic cloud capacity on demand, SFS designs the right mix for your operational and compliance requirements.

Hybrid Infrastructure

Ground, cloud,
and on-premises.

Modern organizations typically operate across multiple environments. Many use on-premises servers, storage, and business systems while incorporating cloud capacity for scalability, resilience, or specialized workloads. SFS is designed for this reality.

We design and manage environments where on-premises infrastructure, Azure, and AWS operate as a single connected platform — so workloads run where they make the most operational and economic sense, whether in your own data centre, the public cloud, or both simultaneously.

"Built for where you are and where you are going — whether that is protecting existing on-premises systems, expanding into cloud, or building a long-term hybrid strategy."

Hybrid & On-Premises Support
  • Integration of on-premises servers and storage with Azure and AWS compute environments
  • Support for hybrid virtualization and VMware transition scenarios using native cloud and on-premises options
  • Unified infrastructure operations across local and cloud environments through SFS managed services
  • Flexible deployment models for modernization, overflow capacity, disaster recovery, and staged cloud adoption
  • Data residency, latency, and compliance-driven architectures that keep sensitive workloads where policy requires

Cloud Compute FAQ

Common questions, answered.

Common questions about this service answered directly.

What compute platforms does SFS manage?

SFS manages workloads across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and on-premises infrastructure. We treat all three as a single connected environment rather than separate engagements, so your team has one point of contact regardless of where a workload runs.

Can SFS manage both our cloud and on-premises infrastructure simultaneously?

Yes. Unified hybrid management is a core part of what we deliver. We integrate on-premises servers, storage, and virtualization platforms with Azure and AWS compute, providing consistent monitoring, operations, and support across every environment you run.

How does SFS approach cloud cost management?

We monitor usage continuously, identify idle or oversized resources, and apply rightsizing recommendations, reserved instance analysis, and reserved capacity planning. Cost optimization is built into ongoing operations, not treated as a separate project.

What does the compute architecture and sizing process look like?

We start with a workload requirements assessment: performance, availability, compliance, and growth. From there we recommend the right compute model — VM, container, serverless, or dedicated hardware — and the right platform. Sizing is based on your actual workload profile, not a generic template.

How does SFS support on-premises workloads that cannot move to cloud?

We design and manage dedicated on-premises compute environments for workloads with data residency, latency, or compliance requirements that rule out public cloud. This includes server and storage provisioning, VMware and Hyper-V management, local networking, and ongoing lifecycle management — all integrated into the same managed service as your cloud environments.
