Microsoft Azure services

Build a secure, efficient and future-ready cloud with Valto. Microsoft Azure offers enormous potential, but realising it requires more than moving workloads into the cloud. Valto's Azure specialists design, migrate, modernise and manage environments built around performance, security and cost control, whether you are moving off on-premises infrastructure, bringing a bill that has crept upwards back under control, or preparing your platform for data and AI.

Overview

Azure expertise built around your business

No two Azure environments should look the same. The right architecture depends on your applications, workloads, users, security requirements, commercial priorities and plans for the future. Valto starts by understanding those requirements, not by recommending technology in isolation. Our Azure consultants assess your current position, identify risk and inefficiency, and design a practical roadmap around the outcomes your organisation needs. Inefficiency is usually where we start, because it is usually where the money is. Environments built during a migration and never revisited tend to carry over-provisioned resources, workloads running around the clock that do not need to, and commitments that no longer match usage. From migration and modernisation to security, cost optimisation and managed support, we bring together the specialist skills needed to make Azure perform as a connected platform.

Specialist expertise across the Azure platform

Rather than presenting customers with a long list of Azure products, Valto identifies the services that best support the required outcome. Our expertise spans the cloud capabilities needed to design, deliver and operate connected Azure environments.

Cloud infrastructure

Our specialists design and manage Azure compute, storage and networking services around workload performance, resilience and security requirements.

Azure Virtual Desktop

We design and deploy secure virtual desktop environments that give users access to applications and working environments from supported locations and devices.

Azure migration

Our consultants plan and deliver migrations from on-premises infrastructure and other cloud platforms, with validation and optimisation included in the wider migration lifecycle.

Azure DevOps

We help organisations improve software and infrastructure delivery through automation, repeatable deployments and modern development practices.

Azure data & AI

Our wider capabilities across Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI and Microsoft Foundry allow us to connect cloud infrastructure decisions with data and AI strategy. Microsoft positions Azure as a platform spanning modernisation, data transformation, application development and enterprise AI.

Azure security

We help embed identity, access, monitoring and governance controls into Azure architecture and ongoing cloud operations.

Backup & disaster recovery

Our consultants help organisations design recovery approaches around business-critical workloads, continuity objectives and operational requirements.

Application hosting & modernisation

We help organisations host, modernise and scale applications using Azure services suited to the workload rather than defaulting to unnecessary infrastructure.

Our Microsoft Azure services

Design the right cloud foundation

Our Azure consultants assess your organisation’s workloads, technical dependencies and business priorities before designing a secure and scalable target architecture. We help define subscriptions, landing zones, networking, identity, governance and operating models so that your Azure environment is structured correctly from the beginning.

Why work with Valto's Azure specialists?

Azure expertise at every stage

Work directly with specialists who understand architecture, migration, infrastructure, security, governance, cost management, data and AI.

Architecture designed for your organisation

We design Azure environments around your workloads and objectives rather than relying on one-size-fits-all cloud configurations.

Security and governance from the outset

Our consultants consider identity, access, networking, monitoring and governance throughout the engagement, not as an afterthought.

Commercially focused recommendations

We look beyond technical performance to help ensure Azure resources, services and operating models deliver sustainable value.

Capability across the Microsoft ecosystem

Our expertise across Microsoft 365, Azure, security, data, Power Platform and AI allows us to understand how decisions in one area affect the wider environment.

Support beyond deployment

Valto can continue to monitor, maintain, secure and optimise your environment after the initial project is complete.

Design backup, recovery and availability arrangements around the systems and workloads most important to your organisation.
Give employees secure access to desktops, systems and applications using Azure Virtual Desktop and connected Microsoft services.
Modernise underlying architecture so that future Microsoft Fabric, AI and intelligent application initiatives have the performance, governance and scalability they require.

How we deliver Azure projects

From establishing what you actually have and what depends on it, through to an environment that is architected deliberately, handed over properly, and reviewed for cost and performance afterwards.

Questions, answered plainly

Learn more about how Valto's Azure services can support your business objectives.

Microsoft Azure is Microsoft’s cloud platform for infrastructure, applications, data, analytics and AI services. Valto helps organisations determine which Azure capabilities are appropriate and how they should be architected, secured and managed.
Valto provides Azure strategy and architecture, migration, modernisation, cost optimisation, governance, Azure Virtual Desktop, DevOps, security, application hosting and managed Azure services.
Yes. Our Azure specialists can assess architecture, security, cost, governance, performance and operational practices before providing prioritised recommendations.
Yes. Valto assesses workloads and dependencies, designs the target Azure environment and delivers migration in controlled stages. Our migration service includes validation and post-migration optimisation guidance.
Yes. Valto’s migration service covers workloads moving from AWS and other cloud platforms into Azure. Our consultants review the existing architecture and define the most appropriate migration approach for each workload.
Our specialists review architecture, consumption, resource sizing, storage, service selection, tagging and governance. We then prioritise opportunities based on potential value, operational risk and business requirements.
Yes. Valto offers managed Azure services covering areas such as monitoring, maintenance, backups, security and technical support, with periodic cloud optimisation reviews.
Valto combines specialist Azure capability with expertise across Microsoft 365, security, managed services, data, business applications and AI. This allows us to consider the wider business and technology environment rather than treating Azure as a standalone infrastructure project.
It depends on the workload and on how it is configured, and anyone who answers this with an unqualified yes is guessing. Azure removes hardware refresh cycles, datacentre or colocation costs and a good deal of operational work, and it lets you stop paying for capacity you are not using. Configured badly, it can cost more than the servers it replaced. We establish what your current estate actually costs before designing anything, so the comparison is real rather than assumed.
From discovery rather than from a guess. Assessment establishes your workloads, dependencies, usage and current costs, and the proposal that follows sets out approach, deliverables and cost before delivery begins. If discovery changes the picture, we would rather say so at that point than halfway through.
