Cloud Solutions

A focused workload migration runs 8–14 weeks for a single application; a full data-center exit ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on legacy complexity. Ontrac front-loads the discovery phase (3–4 weeks) to surface dependencies and re-architecture opportunities before any code moves — which is where most migrations slip.

Default to single-cloud for the first three years post-migration unless there's a specific reason such as regulatory requirements, M&A, or vendor-risk policy. Multi-cloud adds tooling cost, network egress cost, and operational complexity, and real portability still requires re-architecting.

First-year optimization programs typically save 18–42% of annual cloud spend through right-sizing, reserved-instance and savings-plan commitments, storage tiering, and eliminating unused resources. For organizations spending $50K+ per month on cloud, an audit usually pays for itself within the first month.

Yes. Many engagements run as a co-delivery model where Ontrac handles the architecture and workload-specific delivery while the hyperscaler partner manages contracts and credits. We don't resell hyperscaler licenses, so there's no conflict of interest.

We design to a defined RPO and RTO, not to a vendor-recommended default. For most mid-market workloads that means multi-AZ active-active compute, cross-region replication for critical data, and automated failover tested quarterly. Annualized DR cost typically lands at 8–14% of primary infrastructure cost — far cheaper than the outage.

Cloud consulting designs and ships the architecture; an MSP runs it day-to-day. Ontrac is consulting-led — we hand over to your team or an MSP partner after stabilization, typically 30 days post go-live. That keeps incentives aligned: we don't profit from your environment staying complex.
