Technology & Data
IT Infrastructure, Cloud & DevOps
Develop infrastructure that supports reliable operations and effective technology delivery.
Overview
What this means for your business.
Infrastructure decisions connect business requirements with resilience, security, cost and the ability to develop and operate technology.
Capmark helps clients assess cloud and hosting strategies, design foundations and plan workload migration. We also support data-centre change, infrastructure modernisation and engineering practices.
The work considers dependencies, operating requirements, deployment controls and cost visibility alongside the target environment.
What we do
The expertise we bring.
We set the cloud adoption strategy and build the secure foundations every system lands on: identity, network, encryption, logging, policy and automated guardrails.
We assess each workload, decide whether to move it as-is or re-architect it, and migrate in waves sequenced by dependency and risk. Critical cutovers are rehearsed with rollback agreed before the window opens.
We support data-centre exit, hardware refresh, hosting modernisation and infrastructure redesign. The aim is to keep systems reliable while they change and make the estate easier to operate after migration.
We improve the release path through environment management, automation, deployment controls, monitoring and support handover. Delivery teams can move faster without weakening control.
We make infrastructure and cloud cost visible, owned and controlled. Costs are attributed to services, budgets are tracked against actual spend, and unused capacity is retired.
What to expect
A team shaped around the work.
A Principal leads from day one. The first weeks map workloads, dependencies, infrastructure constraints and cost baseline, then produce the landing-zone design and migration sequence.
Migration runs in waves, with rehearsed cutover and rollback for business-critical workloads. The engagement closes with the run team operating the environment, cost governance in place and foundations documented for the teams who inherit them.
Engagements range from cloud and hosting strategy to landing-zone design and phased migration.
Sequenced through cloud and hosting strategy and landing-zone design, then phased migration.
