Azure That Actually Fits Your Business
Azure is powerful. Compute, networking, storage, databases, AI services. But if you misconfigure it, you end up with VMs that are over-spec'd, storage that is abandoned, or networks that are open to the world. Sentire designs Azure environments that are right-sized, secure, and cost-effective.
The Azure cost trap: You spin up a test VM for a proof of concept. It is never shut down. Months later you are paying for servers you forgot exist. We track every resource and shut down waste.
What We Design and Manage
Virtual Machines (VMs): Web servers, application servers, database servers. Right-sized for your workload. Auto-shutdown on schedules. Patching on a regular cadence.
Networking: Virtual networks (VNets), subnets, Network Security Groups, firewalls. Your infrastructure is segmented. Traffic is controlled.
Storage: Blob storage for file backups. File shares for legacy NAS workloads. Table storage for structured data. Tiered for cost.
Databases: Azure SQL Database for relational workloads. Cosmos DB for NoSQL. Managed by Azure so you do not manage them.
Load Balancers: Traffic distributed across VMs. High availability. If one server fails, users do not see an outage.
Monitoring and Alerts: Azure Monitor tracks CPU, memory, disk, network. Alerts fire when thresholds are exceeded. Issues are caught early.
Cost Governance
Monthly Reviews: Every month we audit your Azure resources. Are these VMs running. Are these disks being used. Why is this storage tier so expensive.
Right-Sizing: We recommend VM size changes. Downgrade over-provisioned servers. Upgrade under-performing ones. Your performance stays constant, your cost goes down.
Reserved Instances: For predictable workloads, we buy reserved capacity. Saves 30% to 70% compared to pay-as-you-go.
Cleanup: Orphaned disks, abandoned VNets, forgotten storage accounts. We delete what is no longer needed. Waste eliminated.
Azure infrastructure works together with cloud migration to move workloads from on-premise and cloud backup to protect your data in Azure.
How much are you spending on Azure right now? Many organisations do not know. We can audit your subscription and show you where the money is going. Most see 20-30% cost savings in the first month.
