Cloud Services
Get your head in our clouds
Whether private cloud, public cloud or a hybrid cloud solution, we’ll help you make the most of cloud computing technology. What we won’t do is provide an ‘out of the box’ solution. Because we know your needs and goals are unique. So our experts will have your interests, and how you work, very much at heart.
Why UK businesses are moving to cloud services
Cloud services are no longer a competitive advantage for UK businesses; they are a baseline requirement. According to UK government data, over 60% of UK organisations now use at least one cloud service, driven by the need for remote working capability, reduced infrastructure costs, and access to enterprise-grade tools without the capital expenditure of on-premises hardware. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to cloud services, but which cloud model is right for them and how to make the transition without disrupting operations.
How Arc delivers managed cloud services
Arc starts every cloud services engagement with a thorough assessment of your existing environment, your current infrastructure, your applications, your team’s working patterns, and your business goals. We don’t recommend cloud services until we understand exactly what you’re trying to achieve and what constraints you’re working within. From there, we design a cloud solution around your specific needs, whether that’s a full cloud migration to Microsoft Azure, a hybrid cloud arrangement that keeps sensitive workloads on-premises while moving standard operations to the cloud, or a managed Microsoft 365 environment that improves collaboration across your team. We handle cloud migrations from end to end, with a structured approach that minimises disruption and protects your data throughout. Once live, Arc manages your cloud environment on an ongoing basis, monitoring performance, maintaining security, optimising costs, and ensuring you are always getting the most from your cloud investment.
Arc’s cloud services credentials
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for both Infrastructure (Azure) and Modern Work (Microsoft 365), Arc holds the highest level of Microsoft cloud accreditation available to organisations of our size. Our engineers hold validated Microsoft certifications across Azure administration, Azure architecture, Microsoft 365, and security. Arc is also ISO 27001 certified for information security, meaning the same rigorous standards we apply to our own operations are applied to every cloud environment we manage for UK businesses.
