Cloud and Workload Strategy
Build on a foundation your next application can use.
Evaluate cloud architecture, workload placement, and secure-development requirements around the applications and AI your business wants to support.
Review the foundation around the workload
We help clarify requirements and bring in experienced resources to review cloud or hybrid architecture, security, and operating dependencies.
- Identity, permissions, and data access
- Environment separation and deployment ownership
- Logging, secrets, resilience, and recovery requirements
Make future development more repeatable
An existing production application can reveal what the next application needs. We help define a reusable architecture and review approach that fits your internal team.
- Architecture and secure-development patterns
- Application and API review requirements
- Clear responsibilities for technical delivery
Compare the options before committing
Public cloud, hybrid infrastructure, platform changes, and specialist services need to be assessed against the work and the people who will operate them.
- Workload fit and supplier commitments
- Licensing, migration, and total cost
- Targeted support, assessment, or proof of concept
A focused engagement
AI-Ready Cloud and Security Foundation Review
The scope and resources are shaped around your priority. Use this as a starting point for that conversation.
Who it is for
CIO, infrastructure, cloud, security, and architecture leaders preparing for production AI.
Triggering events
Pilot-to-production transition; data access expansion; VMware or cloud renewal; new integration; resilience or identity gaps.
Scope
Selected workloads and dependencies across cloud or hybrid infrastructure, identity, Microsoft 365/Azure/Copilot where relevant, data access, APIs, networking, monitoring, backup, and recovery.
Customer inputs
Workload and application inventory; architecture and dependency records; identity and security requirements; capacity and performance data; licensing and contracts; recovery objectives; internal support capacity.
Deliverables
Readiness and dependency map; workload-placement comparison; security and operational gaps; cost assumptions; prerequisite roadmap; provider requirements and implementation responsibility recommendations.
Expected next step
Resolve critical prerequisites and select a pilot, migration assessment, or provider evaluation with explicit acceptance criteria.
Boundaries
Not a full enterprise architecture audit or certification. Licensing, capacity, migration feasibility, recovery, and service commitments require specialist and supplier validation. Engineering delivery is separately scoped.
GlobalLinc supports evaluation and coordination. Qualified customer teams and contracted providers own engineering, implementation, operations, and service commitments.
