01
Phase 1
Assess
We analyze your current cloud spend, map every service to its bare-metal equivalent, model traffic patterns and storage growth, and calculate a 3-year TCO comparison. We'll tell you if you should stay.
What You Get
- Cloud Exit Feasibility Report
- Projected savings (monthly and 3-year)
- Risk assessment and migration complexity score
- Go/no-go recommendation — honest, not a sales pitch
⏱ 1–2 weeks
💰 Fixed fee (credited if you proceed)
02
Phase 2
Architect
We design your bare-metal infrastructure: server specifications, network topology, replication and HA strategy, backup and disaster recovery plan, and monitoring architecture. AI generates proposals; our engineers review and refine.
What You Get
- Architecture document with diagrams
- Server bill of materials
- Network topology map
- Replication strategy with failover scenarios
- Backup and DR plan with RPO/RTO targets
⏱ 1–2 weeks
🤖 AI-powered architecture proposals

Phase 3
Deploy
The heaviest phase. We provision servers, harden the OS, deploy database clusters, messaging infrastructure, Kubernetes, load balancers, monitoring, backups, and security — all automated with Ansible.
What Gets Built
- Database clusters: PostgreSQL (Patroni), MongoDB (Percona), Cassandra, Elasticsearch
- Messaging: RabbitMQ, EMQX MQTT broker
- Kubernetes: K3s with MetalLB, cert-manager, Velero
- Load balancing: HAProxy + Keepalived with VIP failover
- Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Alertmanager — pre-built dashboards
- Backup automation: S3-based with pgBackRest, PBM, Velero, snapshots
- Security: Hardened bastion, fail2ban, UFW, private VLAN, TLS automation
⏱ 2–6 weeks
🤖 AI reduces deployment time by 60%+
📋 Ansible IaC — fully reproducible
04
Phase 4
Migrate
We set up cross-cloud database replication, validate data integrity, coordinate the cutover window with your team, switch DNS, and verify everything works. Rollback is ready at every step.
What You Get
- Zero or minimal-downtime migration
- Data integrity verification report
- Rollback capability until you confirm the cutover
- Post-migration health check
Note: We handle data migration at the infrastructure/data layer. Application changes (connection strings, configs) are coordinated with your dev team.
⏱ 1–2 weeks
🔄 Rollback ready at every step
