Benefits of managed Cloud Services provided by Airspeed IT
A well-executed cloud strategy helps SMBs cut costs, scale on demand, tighten security, and streamline operations – all crucial to staying competitive in today’s digital landscape.
Choosing the right partner is vital for a successful journey to the cloud. Here’s why Airspeed IT stands out in helping SMBs transition to a fully cloud-based environment:
Tailored Guidance & Strategy
Our cloud consultants take the time to learn your business and design a strategy that fits your goals and budget. From choosing the right mix of platforms (Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, etc.) to deciding which applications to migrate first, we guide you through the critical decisions with plain-English advice. Airspeed IT isn’t tied to a single vendor – we’re fluent across Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and more – so our recommendations are 100% driven by what’s best for you.
Security & Compliance Expertise
At Airspeed IT, security is engineered into every solution from day one. We also help you navigate the complex world of compliance. Whether you need to meet HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, or other industry regulations, our team will put the proper controls and audits in place to keep your cloud environment compliant.
Seamless Cloud Migrations
We specialize in moving businesses from on-premises or hybrid setups to the cloud with minimal disruption. Our experts have migrated countless servers, email systems, and applications and refined a process to avoid downtime. We start with thorough planning and backups, then execute migrations in phases or off-hours so your team stays productive. The result is a smooth cutover – often users don’t even notice the change until they enjoy the faster performance.
Proactive Managed Support
Moving to the cloud is only step one – Airspeed IT’s managed cloud services mean you have a dedicated team monitoring your cloud 24/7 and keeping everything running optimally. We watch your network, servers, and applications in real time, catching and resolving issues before they impact your business. Software patching, backups, and system tuning are handled for you, behind the scenes.
Our managed IT services let you concentrate on what matters
Ongoing Managed Services: One of Airspeed IT’s core values is that our partnership doesn’t end after the migration. Once you’re fully in the cloud, we continue to manage and support your environment 24/7 under our managed services agreement.
Cloud solutions that
give you confidence
Moving to the cloud lets you run a leaner, more agile operation while accessing enterprise-grade technology that was once out of reach.
Microsoft 365
Business productivity, email, and collaboration tools delivered from the cloud. We set up and manage Microsoft 365 for your organization, including Exchange Online for email, Teams for messaging and video conferencing, and the latest Office apps (Word, Excel, etc.) for every user. Your team gets anywhere, anytime access to email and files, seamless real-time collaboration, and automatic updates to the newest features – no more outdated software or mail server to maintain.
Azure, AWS & Google Cloud
Cloud infrastructure on the leading platforms. Whether you need to move a server, database, or entire data center, we’ve got you covered across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Airspeed IT will design, deploy, and manage virtual servers, networks, and storage in the cloud provider of your choice. We ensure high availability and performance while optimizing costs through cloud-native solutions.
Dropbox & Cloud File Management
Secure, accessible cloud storage solutions for your data. We help migrate and organize your file shares into cloud-based file management platforms like Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint or ShareFile. This means your files are backed up in the cloud and accessible to your team from any location or device (with permissions you control). No more VPN headaches or risking data on unsecure local drives – your documents will be stored in encrypted, enterprise-grade cloud storage with version history and easy sharing for collaboration.
SaaS Optimization
Integration and security management for all your cloud-based business applications. Most SMBs rely on numerous Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) apps – from CRM and accounting systems to project management and ERP systems. We implement single sign-on and identity management so employees can access all their apps with one secure login, and we enforce best-practice security policies across your SaaS portfolio. Our team will also monitor usage and licenses to eliminate waste, and ensure all these services work together smoothly. In short, we tame the cloud sprawl and shadow IT – giving you optimized, secure, and well-integrated SaaS tools that drive your business forward.
Strategic Cloud Planning
We design a customized cloud strategy and migration plan. This includes selecting the best cloud platforms and services for each workload: for instance, choosing between Azure, AWS, or GCP for certain servers, deciding how to restructure your file storage in Dropbox/OneDrive/SharePoint, and planning the rollout of Microsoft 365 apps to your team. We architect the target cloud environment with security, scalability, and cost-efficiency in mind – incorporating best practices like setting up proper network architecture, identity management (Azure AD integration, etc.), and data backup/recovery in the cloud.
Training & Go-Live Support
A move to the cloud isn’t just a technical change – it’s a change for your users too. As part of our service, we provide hands-on training and documentation to get your staff acquainted with any new cloud tools (for example, helping employees log into their new Microsoft 365 accounts, or showing them how to access files on OneDrive or Dropbox). We’re there to answer questions and make adjustments during the go-live period so that everyone gains confidence using the new systems. Finally, when everything is stable and optimized, we continue to manage and support your environment 24/7 under our managed services agreement.
