Design Cloud Platforms That Are Secure, Scalable & Real-World Ready
We help you design and deliver Azure-first, multi-cloud and hybrid architectures that are secure, well-governed, and ready for real workloads — not just diagrams.
From first landing zones to complex, integrated platforms, we make sure identity, networking, security, data and apps all work together to support your business strategy.
Whether you’re modernising legacy systems, building new cloud-native services, or trying to bring order to an already busy Azure estate, we provide the architecture, guardrails, and delivery support you need.
What We Deliver
Azure Landing Zones & Foundations
Build on a solid, repeatable foundation instead of one-off resource groups.
Secure Networking & Identity
Connect users and systems securely, without creating a tangle of point-to-point links.
Integration, APIs & Event-Driven Architectures
Avoid monoliths and spaghetti integrations.
Data & Analytics Platforms
Turn data spread across apps and systems into something usable.
Cloud-Native & Serverless Applications
Use the right cloud building blocks for each workload.
Cost Management & FinOps
Cloud should feel like an investment, not a runaway bill.
Typical Use Cases
Enterprise-Grade Azure Landing Zone & Governance
Organisations often start in Azure without standards, creating security gaps, inconsistent resource structures and high operational risk.
Legacy System Modernisation & Cloud Migration
Businesses running on-prem or ageing platforms face performance, reliability and cost challenges.
Hybrid Connectivity, Networking & Identity Integration
Most organisations need seamless communication between on-prem data centres, SaaS tools and Azure services.
API, Integration & Event-Driven Architecture
Businesses need systems to communicate reliably — without the chaos of point-to-point integrations.
Why Viral Velocity for Azure & Cloud Architecture?
Cloud architecture fails when it starts with “let’s lift-and-shift” instead of “what’s the right platform for this business?”.
At Viral Velocity, we lead with architecture, governance and real outcomes — then use Azure and other clouds as the toolkit.
Every engagement follows the same backbone:
Discover → Design → Build → Deliver → Support → Digital Success
You always know where we are, what’s coming next, and what value we’re targeting.
How we do
Discover – Understand the business before the blueprints
We start by understanding the strategy, constraints and current estate.
What we do:
- Run discovery workshops with business, IT and security to understand goals, risks and non-negotiables.
- Review your current cloud footprint (on-prem, Azure, other clouds) — what’s working, what’s fragile, and where the real pain is.
- Map critical systems, data flows and dependencies so we don’t design in isolation.
- Define clear success metrics: resilience, time-to-market, cost, security posture, performance, or all of the above.
What you get:
A shared view of where you are today, where you’re trying to get to, and which workloads or domains we should prioritise first.
Design – Architecture and guardrails first
Before we touch a portal or CLI, we design how cloud should work for you, not just for one project.
What we do:
- Shape a target cloud architecture: landing zones, network topology, identity model, security boundaries and core platform services.
- Define governance & guardrails: policies, RBAC, blueprints/ARM/Bicep/Terraform patterns, environment strategy and naming/tagging conventions.
- Agree integration and data patterns so teams don’t create siloed solutions.
- Translate business goals into a prioritised roadmap of platform capabilities and workload migrations.
What you get:
A pragmatic, well-architected design that keeps security and compliance happy, gives teams freedom to build, and avoids the “cloud sprawl” later.
Build – Automate the platform, not just the workloads
We build with automation, repeatability and observability from day one.
What we do:
- Implement landing zones and core services using IaC (Bicep/Terraform/ARM), not manual clicks.
- Set up CI/CD pipelines for platform components and application workloads.
- Configure monitoring, logging and alerting with sensible defaults, dashboards and runbooks.
- Pilot with one or two real workloads to prove patterns, then refine.
What you get:
A working platform with real workloads running on it, not just a slide deck — plus automation that makes it easy to onboard the next projects.
Deliver – Migrate and modernise without chaos
We move workloads at a pace the business can absorb — safely.
What we do:
- Design migration waves based on risk, complexity and business impact.
- Choose the right modernisation path for each workload (rehost, replatform, refactor).
- Coordinate cutovers with clear runbooks, rollback plans and communication.
- Validate performance, resilience and security post-go live and tweak where needed.
What you get:
Visible progress as workloads move to the new platform, with controlled risk and minimal disruption for users.
Support – Keep the platform healthy
Cloud platforms need care, not firefighting.
What we do:
- Establish operational responsibilities between your internal teams and us (RACI, support tiers, escalation paths).
- Provide runbooks and standard operating procedures for common incidents and requests.
- Review monitoring signals and incidents regularly to remove root causes, not just mute alerts.
- Mentor your internal engineering and operations teams so they become confident owners of the platform.
What you get:
A platform that’s actively managed, predictable to operate, and doesn’t depend on a single hero engineer or external partner.
Digital Success – Continuous evolution, not a one-off project
We treat go-live as the start of the interesting part, not the end.
What we do:
- Track hard outcomes against the original goals: uptime, deployment frequency, incident rates, cost per workload, time-to-market.
- Identify next-wave improvements: retiring more legacy, improving resilience, introducing new managed services, or optimising cost.
- Align the platform roadmap with business and product roadmaps so architecture stays relevant.
- Help you build an internal cloud capability — architects, engineers and product teams who know how to use the platform well.
What you get:
A living cloud platform and roadmap that keeps delivering value — not just “we migrated and now we’re done”.
