Cloud Consulting in Belfast
Independent advice on what a Belfast business should actually run in the cloud, and what is fine where it is. We are not tied to a single provider, so the recommendation can be AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, a UK hosting provider, or leaving a working server exactly where it is.
Why this comes up
The problem
Cloud migration is often sold as inevitable rather than assessed. Businesses move workloads that were cheaper on a server, and discover the new monthly bill exceeds the hardware they replaced.
What you get
What we deliver
- An inventory of what you run now, with the real cost of each including staff time
- A workload-by-workload assessment: move, modernise, or leave alone
- Provider comparison against your actual requirements rather than a feature matrix
- Cost modelling over three years, including egress charges and the licensing traps
- A phased plan starting with the workloads that carry least risk
- Data residency and compliance positions confirmed before anything moves

Cloud Consulting in Belfast — common questions
- Is the cloud cheaper?
- Sometimes. It is reliably cheaper for variable workloads, for things you would otherwise buy hardware to peak-provision, and for anything needing geographic redundancy. It is often more expensive for steady, predictable workloads on hardware you already own. The modelling tells you which you have.
- Which provider should we use?
- Whichever fits your workloads, your team's existing skills and your compliance position. A Microsoft-centric business usually lands on Azure for good reasons; that is not a universal answer, and we have no incentive to make it one.
- What about data residency?
- Confirmed before migration, not after. All major providers offer UK regions, but some managed services quietly process data elsewhere, and that detail matters for certain regulated workloads.
- Do we have to move everything?
- No, and hybrid is a legitimate end state rather than a failure to finish. Plenty of businesses are best served with some workloads in the cloud and some staying put.
- Do you work with businesses across County Antrim?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast and the surrounding County Antrim area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Belfast businesses do you usually work with?
- Fintech and security-accredited systems, plus trading platforms that handle the specific customs position on goods. Beyond that we work across Fintech, Cyber Security, Film & Media, Manufacturing and Higher Education.
- Do you cover the areas around Belfast?
- Yes — we work throughout Northern Ireland, including Lisburn, Bangor, Newry. Belfast is an urban area of roughly 345,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Antrim region rather than the city boundary alone.
