Cloud Services
Infrastructure, backup, migration and connectivity designed together, so the platform is secure, recoverable and priced for what you actually use.
Cloud infrastructure: Azure, AWS & Google Cloud
Public, private and hybrid deployments designed for your workloads, with identity, networking and cost controls set up before the first server is built.
Cloud backup & disaster recovery
Automated backups of servers, Microsoft 365 and files, with replication and tested failover so an outage, ransomware event or fire does not stop the business.
Collaboration platforms
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace deployed and secured, with SharePoint, Teams, Drive and cross-platform file sharing set up for how your teams work.
Virtualization & virtual desktops
VMware, Hyper-V and Proxmox for servers, and Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365 so remote and hybrid staff get a secure desktop on any device.
Cloud migration
On-premises servers, file shares and applications moved to the cloud in planned phases, with rollback paths and cutovers scheduled around your operations.
Networking, SD-WAN & remote access
SD-WAN between sites, VPN and zero-trust access for remote staff, cloud telephony and monitoring that watches performance around the clock.
How We Plan a Cloud Environment
We work through these four points with you during the assessment, before anything is provisioned.
Workload fit
Each server and application assessed for cloud, hybrid or on-premises, so you are not paying to host something that belongs in a rack.
Security & compliance
Identity, MFA, firewalls, encryption and DLP designed into the platform, with HIPAA, PCI-DSS and GDPR alignment where required.
Recovery objectives
How much data you can lose and how long you can be down, set per system and used to size backup and failover.
Cost governance
Right-sized instances, reserved capacity and budgets with alerts, so the monthly bill stays predictable as you grow.

Plan your cloud moveIndustries We Serve
Cloud platforms designed for how each business runs and what it cannot afford to lose.
How We Move You to the Cloud
One server or a whole data center, the sequence is the same, and recovery is tested before we call it done.
Assessment
We inventory servers, applications, data, users and connectivity, and record your recovery and compliance requirements.
Architecture & cost model
A cloud, hybrid or on-premises decision for each workload, with a design, a migration sequence and a monthly cost estimate.
Landing zone
Identity, networking, security policies, backup and monitoring built in the cloud before any workload moves.
Migration
Workloads moved in phases with replication and test cutovers, scheduled around your operations, with rollback ready.
Validation & DR test
Performance, access and backups verified, then a full disaster recovery test so the plan is proven, not assumed.
Operate & optimize
24/7 monitoring, patching, backup checks and quarterly cost reviews, so the platform stays secure and right-sized.
Cloud Monitoring & Management
DIST monitors your cloud, network and backups around the clock, keeps a help desk answering 24/7 and reviews costs every quarter so the platform stays secure and right-sized.
- 24/7 monitoring of cloud, network and backup health
- Patching and security updates for servers and hosts
- Backup verification and scheduled DR tests
- Cost reviews and right-sizing every quarter
- Identity, access and license administration
- Support for environments built by other providers

Cloud questions
Cost, platforms, backup and migration timelines, answered.
Should we move everything to the cloud?
Usually not everything. Email, files, collaboration and most business applications belong in the cloud. Some workloads, such as on-site cameras, access control or latency-sensitive systems, are better kept local or hybrid. Our assessment makes that call per workload.
How much do cloud services cost?
Cloud is billed monthly based on compute, storage and bandwidth. We model the cost before migration, right-size instances and use reserved capacity where it makes sense, then review the bill quarterly so it stays predictable.
Azure, AWS or Google Cloud: which should we use?
Businesses on Microsoft 365 usually fit best on Azure because identity and licensing are already there. AWS and Google Cloud suit specific applications and development teams. We work across all three and recommend based on your software, staff and budget.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is a copy of your data you can restore. Disaster recovery is the ability to keep running when a site or system is down, which needs replicated servers, a failover plan and regular tests. We size both to how much data you can lose and how long you can be down.
How long does a cloud migration take?
Email and files typically move within weeks. Servers and applications are migrated in phases over one to three months depending on how many there are and how they depend on each other. Each cutover is scheduled around your operations.
Can remote staff work securely from anywhere?
Yes. Virtual desktops, VPN or zero-trust access and MFA give remote and hybrid staff secure access to the same systems as the office, on company or personal devices.
Is the cloud compliant with HIPAA, PCI-DSS or GDPR?
The platforms are, and we configure identity, encryption, logging, retention and DLP to align with your framework, and provide the documentation your auditors require.
Do you monitor and support the cloud after migration?
Yes. Our help desk answers 24/7, and we monitor health, patch systems, verify backups and review costs under a flat monthly agreement.
Where do you deliver cloud services?
Nationwide. Cloud work is delivered remotely, with field engineers on site for networks, racks and devices wherever you are in the United States.
Planning a cloud migration or a backup overhaul?
Tell us the systems you run, where they live and how long you could be without them. A DIST engineer will assess your environment, then come back with an architecture, a timeline and a monthly cost model.
