View Secure CloudK2CT / Azure & Cloud
Cloud infrastructure built to perform.
Moving to the cloud is a business decision, not just a technical one. K2CT helps organisations adopt Microsoft Azure practically, then manages it so it stays secure, reliable and cost-effective.
Practical cloud adoption
Azure provides servers, desktops, storage and networking on demand, billed by consumption. Done well, it removes ageing hardware and supports remote work. Done poorly, it becomes an unpredictable bill. K2CT designs Azure environments around actual workloads and manages them with cost, security and recoverability in mind.
Business problems
Common cloud and infrastructure challenges
Whether you're still on-premises or already in Azure, these issues come up often.
Ageing on-premises servers
Hardware nearing end of life, with a refresh decision approaching.
Unexpected Azure bills
Resources left running, oversized or never reviewed.
Unmanaged cloud resources
Environments set up once and never patched, monitored or documented.
Remote access to legacy apps
Line-of-business applications that don't work well outside the office.
Services
Azure and cloud services

Azure storage
File shares, blob storage and archive tiers configured for performance and cost.
Virtual networking and gateways
Virtual networks, VPN gateways, site-to-site connections and network security groups.
Identity and access integration
Integration with Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on and least-privilege access.
Cloud migration
Assessment and migration of on-premises servers, file shares and applications to Azure.
Monitoring and maintenance
Health monitoring, alerting, patching and routine maintenance of managed resources.
Cloud security configuration
Secure baselines, Microsoft Defender for Cloud recommendations and network exposure reduction.
Cost governance and optimisation
Budgets, right-sizing, reserved capacity advice and regular cost reviews.
Backup and disaster recovery integration
Azure Backup and recovery options aligned to agreed recovery objectives.
Hybrid infrastructure
Management of environments that combine on-premises servers with Azure services.
Good to know
Cloud, on-premises or hybrid?
There's no single right answer. We recommend based on your workloads.
Cloud
Suits businesses with remote or multi-site staff, variable demand, or ageing hardware they'd rather not replace.
On-premises
May suit workloads with specialist hardware, very large local data volumes or software that isn't supported in the cloud.
Hybrid
Combines both — for example, local servers for a production system and Azure for backup, identity or remote desktops.
Outcomes
Expected outcomes
Less hardware to maintain
Fewer server refreshes and onsite failures.
Predictable management
Per-server management fee with clear scope.
Controlled consumption
Regular cost reviews and right-sizing.
Secure by default
Baselines applied and monitored.
Work from anywhere
Applications available securely beyond the office.
Better recoverability
Backup integrated into the design.
Delivery

Assess
Inventory workloads, dependencies, performance and costs.
- Step 02
Design
Recommend cloud, hybrid or on-premises with cost estimates.
- Step 03
Migrate
Staged migration with testing and rollback plans.
- Step 04
Operate
Ongoing management, monitoring and cost reviews.
Pricing
Azure management pricing
Secure Cloud provides ongoing management of Azure and server infrastructure.

- • Migration projects and scope-dependent services are quoted separately.
FAQs
Azure & Cloud questions
What are managed Azure services?
Managed Azure services mean a provider takes ongoing responsibility for your Azure environment — administering subscriptions, patching and monitoring servers, managing networking and security configuration, and reviewing costs — so it doesn't drift after initial setup.
How much does Azure management cost?
K2CT Secure Cloud starts from $150 per managed server per month, ex GST. The final price depends on the number and type of resources, monitoring requirements and scope.
Are Azure usage charges included?
No. Azure consumption (compute, storage, networking) and licensing are billed separately, either directly by Microsoft or through your licensing provider. K2CT helps you monitor and optimise those costs.
Can K2CT migrate on-premises servers?
Yes. We assess your servers and applications, confirm what's suitable for Azure, design the target environment and run a staged migration with testing. Some workloads may be better modernised or retired rather than moved as-is.
What is Azure Virtual Desktop?
Azure Virtual Desktop is a Microsoft service that runs Windows desktops and applications in Azure, accessible from almost any device. It suits remote staff, contractors and legacy applications that need to run centrally.
How is Azure infrastructure secured?
Through layered controls: Entra ID with MFA and least-privilege roles, network security groups and limited public exposure, patching, Microsoft Defender for Cloud recommendations, encryption and backup. K2CT applies a baseline and reviews it over time.
Can K2CT manage hybrid infrastructure?
Yes. Many businesses keep some servers on-premises while using Azure for other services. We manage both as one environment, including connectivity between them.
