Cloud and Data Centre Services
Cloud, data centre, backup, disaster recovery, FinOps and AI-ready infrastructure, designed around the workload.
Cloud and data centre services built around your estate
AI is rewriting cloud architecture, cloud cost has become a board topic, recovery is a regulator priority, and sovereign deployment is now a practical option for regulated workloads.
CloudCoCo helps organisations design, migrate and manage public, private, sovereign, physical and hybrid infrastructure in the proportions their business actually needs.
We support Microsoft Azure, AWS, private and sovereign cloud, colocation, backup and disaster recovery, FinOps and AI-ready infrastructure. Our recommendations are workload-led and vendor-neutral, with migration capability, cost modelling and operational support built into the programme from the start.
Services are aligned to Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, AWS Well-Architected and the FinOps Foundation framework, with ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified delivery.
Common cloud and data centre challenges
Is cloud spend growing faster than the workloads it supports? Are backup and recovery plans tested for ransomware scenarios? Are AI projects being held back by infrastructure that was never designed for GPU workloads? Do regulated workloads need a clearer sovereign or private cloud strategy? Is VMware forcing a timing-driven decision?
What we deliver
Cloud and data centre capabilities designed as one operating model
Public, private, sovereign, physical and hybrid infrastructure, supported by migration, recovery, FinOps and AI-ready design.
Two starting points. One delivery model.
We work with organisations facing the VMware decision, and with cloud estates where the original landing zone is no longer fit for the workloads now running on it.
VMware decision
For organisations facing the VMware decision before renewal or support deadlines. The right answer depends on workload mix, sovereignty profile, FinOps target and operational capacity.
CloudCoCo delivers a fixed-scope assessment with framework-aligned scoring and a five-year total cost of ownership across stay, modern private cloud and sovereign cloud options.
Cloud reset
For organisations whose cloud estate has accumulated years of decisions and is now slowing the next investment. Costs are climbing, observability is patchy and AI workloads need a stronger platform.
We rebuild the landing zone to a recognised reference framework, hand over infrastructure-as-code, and run FinOps with named accountability.
Public, private and sovereign cloud
Cloud foundations need to be built to recognised frameworks, managed as code and operated with cost, identity, security and recovery designed in from the start.
Public cloud landing zones
Landing zones designed to Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure and AWS Control Tower with Landing Zone Accelerator for AWS. Infrastructure-as-code in Bicep, Terraform or CloudFormation is handed to your repository.
- Policy and security baselines as code
- FinOps tagging from day one
- Unified identity and governance
VMware decision
We run a fixed-scope VMware Exit Assessment covering discovery, dependency mapping and a five-year TCO across the practical options, including staying on VCF, migrating to Nutanix or moving workloads to Azure Local.
- Named decision and roadmap
- Application cutover planning
- Licence consolidation
Sovereign cloud
Delivered through Microsoft Sovereign Cloud certified specialists on validated hardware, covering connected, disconnected and air-gapped scenarios for regulated workloads.
- Azure Local connected and disconnected
- Microsoft 365 Local where required
- Air-gapped operational runbooks
Migration, AI infrastructure and recovery
Modern cloud and data centre estates need more than hosting. They need migration control, AI-ready design, tested recovery and cost governance.
Cloud migration and modernisation
Cloud migration succeeds when the operating model moves with the workloads. We run migration programmes with named programme management, workload assessment, business-aligned cutovers and rollback plans.
- Lift-and-shift, replatform and refactor options
- Database migration and application modernisation
- FinOps, security, networking, identity and observability workstreams
AI-ready infrastructure
AI workloads need GPU compute, fast parallel storage and RDMA networking. We design AI-ready infrastructure top-down so the platform is shaped around training, inference and data movement rather than retrofitted later.
- NVIDIA and AMD GPU reference architectures
- Parallel file systems for AI workloads
- Kubernetes orchestration across cloud and private platforms
Backup, DR and cyber recovery
Modern recovery must be designed for ransomware scenarios, where backup catalogues and replicated copies may be targeted. We design immutable backup, isolated recovery and quarterly rehearsed failover.
- Storage-layer retention enforcement
- Clean-room recovery capability
- RPO and RTO documented per workload
FinOps and cloud governance
FinOps only works when it is operated. CloudCoCo provides a named cost lead, monthly accountability scorecards and ongoing optimisation across reservations, savings plans, anomalies and chargeback models.
- FinOps Foundation aligned
- Monthly reporting to finance stakeholders
- Cloud savings tracked against named ownership
Colocation, hosting and hybrid estates
Some workloads belong in public cloud, some in private cloud, some in colocation, and some at the edge. The value comes from managing the whole estate as one model.
Colocation and managed hosting
Colocation is delivered through accredited carrier-neutral partners with Tier III and Tier IV facilities, including UK presence and international reach where multinational footprints require it.
- Racks, cages and private suites
- Azure ExpressRoute and AWS Direct Connect on-ramps
- ISO accredited facilities with audited physical and digital security
Hybrid by design
Hybrid estates are managed through a unified model spanning cloud, private infrastructure and edge, with identity, networking, observability, FinOps and disaster recovery designed across the topology.
- Azure Arc, AWS Outposts or Nutanix Central where appropriate
- Microsoft Entra identity across cloud, on-premise and edge
- DR designed across the whole hybrid topology
Why customers choose CloudCoCo for cloud and data centre services
Multi-vendor by design
Azure, AWS, Nutanix and Microsoft Sovereign Cloud recommendations are based on your environment, not a single vendor preference.
VMware decision support
Fixed-scope assessment with five-year TCO across stay, modernise and migrate options.
Sovereign capability
Connected, disconnected and air-gapped deployment options for regulated and sensitive workloads.
FinOps accountability
Named cost lead, monthly scorecard and ongoing optimisation rather than static dashboards.
AI-ready design
GPU, storage and networking designed around AI workloads from the start.
Recovery built for the threat
Immutable backup, isolated cyber recovery and rehearsed failover against agreed RPO and RTO.
