AWS Managed Services in Durham
Running your AWS environment day to day so your Durham team does not have to. Patching, monitoring, backups, cost control and someone on call when an alarm fires at three in the morning — the operational work that keeps arriving after the migration project has been signed off.
Why this comes up
The problem
Cloud removes the hardware but not the operations. Businesses migrate expecting the running costs to include someone watching it, and discover that AWS supplies the alarm and nobody to answer it.
What you get
What we deliver
- Monitoring and alerting configured, with alarms routed to an engineer rather than an inbox
- Patching of operating systems and managed service versions on an agreed schedule
- Backup verified by restore, not assumed from a successful job status
- Cost anomaly alerts, so an unexpected charge surfaces in days rather than on the invoice
- Security posture reviewed continuously — public buckets, open groups, stale credentials
- Monthly reporting on spend, incidents and what is drifting from the intended design

AWS Managed Services in Durham — common questions
- Is this not what AWS Support provides?
- No. AWS Support helps when you ask them a question about AWS. They do not watch your environment, patch your instances, verify your backups or act on your alarms. Those remain yours unless someone is contracted to do them.
- Do we lose access to our own environment?
- No — it stays your account, your billing relationship and your data throughout. We work inside it with defined roles. Any arrangement where the provider owns the account is one to be wary of.
- How does out-of-hours cover work?
- Alarms route to an on-call engineer, with severity levels agreed in advance so a disk warning does not carry the same weight as a service outage. What wakes someone is defined before signing, not during an incident.
- Will you also reduce our bill?
- Cost monitoring is included and anomalies get flagged. A deeper optimisation exercise is separate work, because it is a project rather than an ongoing duty.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
