Hybrid Cloud · Sheffield
Hybrid Cloud in Sheffield
Running some workloads in the cloud and some on your own hardware, connected properly rather than coexisting awkwardly. For Sheffield businesses this is often the honest end state — a machine tied to the factory floor, a dataset too large to move economically, or a regulator with a view on where records live.
Why this comes up
The problem
Half-migrated estates are the worst of both worlds: two environments, two sets of identities, two backup regimes, and applications making round trips across the internet for every database query.
What you get
What we deliver
- A workload placement decision for each system, with the reason recorded
- Private connectivity between site and cloud, sized for the traffic that will cross it
- One identity system spanning both, so staff have a single account not two
- Backup and recovery covering both environments under one plan and one test
- Monitoring that shows the whole estate rather than two disconnected dashboards
- Latency-aware placement, so chatty components stay on the same side of the link

Working in Sheffield
Yorkshire & the Humber
Sheffield's advanced manufacturing base has moved a long way from steel, and the work here often involves putting sensible interfaces on top of processes that have been running on spreadsheets for a decade.
Manufacturers here typically want to replace long-standing spreadsheet processes with something reliable, without disrupting production while it happens.

Hybrid Cloud in Sheffield — common questions
- Is hybrid a permanent answer or a stage?
- It can be either, and it is worth deciding which deliberately. Machine control systems, large media libraries and certain regulated records have genuine reasons to stay put. Hybrid as an unfinished migration is different — that one drifts and costs more than either destination.
- What connects the two?
- A dedicated private link where traffic volume or latency justifies it, or a site-to-site VPN where it does not. Sizing that link is the decision most often got wrong, and it usually surfaces as an application that feels slow for no obvious reason.
- Do staff need two logins?
- They should not. Extending your existing directory into the cloud gives one identity across both, which is also what makes the leaver process work properly rather than half-working.
- Which workloads should stay on site?
- Anything talking to physical equipment, anything where the dataset is too large to move economically, and anything where a regulator or contract specifies location. Everything else is a cost and resilience question rather than a technical one.
- Do you work with businesses across South Yorkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Sheffield and the surrounding South Yorkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Sheffield businesses do you usually work with?
- Manufacturers here typically want to replace long-standing spreadsheet processes with something reliable, without disrupting production while it happens. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Metals & Materials, Healthcare, Higher Education and Digital.
- Do you cover the areas around Sheffield?
- Yes — we work throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Leeds, Nottingham, Manchester. Sheffield is an urban area of roughly 730,000+, and we take on work across the wider South Yorkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
