Built on Azure
Hosting designed around Microsoft Azure so your workloads sit on a global, secure and resilient platform, not a server in a cupboard.
Cloud Hosting on Microsoft Azure
Move your servers, files and line of business apps into Microsoft Azure and stop worrying about old hardware, surprise failures and office bound systems. We design, migrate and manage cloud hosting that your team can trust every day.
Migration First
We plan and deliver the move from on site servers into the cloud, with clear cutovers and rollback plans so there are no nasty surprises.
Managed for You
Patching, security, monitoring and backups handled by our team so you are not paying for cloud you are too scared to touch.
Predictable Spend
Right sized Azure resources, cost controls and simple monthly reporting so your cloud bill does not spiral quietly in the background.

Line of business apps, file servers and databases moved into Azure with planned cutovers, test runs and rollback options so staff can keep working while we migrate.

Security policies, patching, Azure backups and recovery tested regularly so you can trust your cloud hosting when something does go wrong.

Cost Optimisation and Reporting

Key Benefits
The Benefits to Your Business
Instead of nursing ageing servers and guessing when they will fail, you get cloud hosting on Azure that is stable, secure and designed around how your team actually works.
Less Downtime, Better Reliability
Azure gives you resilient infrastructure with far fewer single points of failure than a single on site box hiding in a back room.
Anywhere, Secure Access
Staff can reach core systems securely from the office, at home or on the go without dragging your network through clunky workarounds.
Clearer Costs, Fewer Surprises
Move from random capital spend on servers to predictable, right sized monthly cloud costs that you can actually plan for.
Modern Platform to Grow On
Once your workloads sit in Azure, it becomes much easier to add new apps, automation and services without another forklift upgrade.
Moving to Azure in 4 Steps
01
Discover and Design
We audit your servers, apps and data, then design an Azure environment and migration plan that fits your performance, security and budget requirements.
02
Prepare and Secure
We set up Azure, networking, identity and security controls, then get backups and test environments in place before anything moves for real users.
03
Migrate and Cut Over
We migrate servers and data in planned windows, run validation checks and switch users over with clear communication and minimal downtime.
04
Manage and Optimise
Once live, we monitor, patch and support your Azure environment, then review performance and costs regularly so it keeps earning its keep.

Plan Your Move to Cloud Hosting
Share a few details about your current servers, key applications and challenges. We will put together a clear, no nonsense cloud hosting plan on Microsoft Azure with options, costs and a sensible migration approach.
“Moving to Azure removed a constant fear about our ageing servers. The team can log in from anywhere and we have not had a single hosting related outage.”
CT1 handled the audit, the migration weekends and the ongoing management. We understand our cloud costs, we sleep better at night and we finally feel our hosting is ahead of the business, not behind it.
