Understanding your Cloud Requirements
Identifying the right approach
While most organisations are certain that the cloud has a vital role to play in the future of business, the various strategies – from a public cloud-first approach to hybrid or multi-cloud – can sometimes be unclear.

We guarantee our experts will empower you with the right information, guide you towards the most appropriate solution, and ensure you benefit from a cutting-edge cloud environment.

Types of Cloud
Private cloud
Post-pandemic, many organisations transferred their digital environments to a hybrid or public cloud infrastructure – however, a vast number of businesses have yet to make the move. If you’re looking to modernise your current way of working whilst keeping costs low, our digital transformation experts are here to support your transition.
Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid cloud solutions offer mixed computing capabilities, with data storage requirements comprising on-prem infrastructure, private cloud solutions, and usually a public cloud service – such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon’s AWS. If you’re looking for guidance around the complexities of various technology integrations, our cloud experts can help you gain complete visibility over your infrastructure.
Public cloud
Public cloud services are an increasingly popular solution for ambitious companies. Offering limitless data potential with large cost savings compared with private cloud solutions, it’s easy to see why public cloud services are the appropriate option for many modern businesses. At Stripe OLT, we are a Microsoft Solutions Partner, which means we are a leading specialist when it comes to implementing Azure cloud solutions.

Azure Cloud Benefits
The benefits of Azure Cloud technology
Regardless of whether you opt for a private, hybrid, or completely public cloud-first environment, there are a vast array of benefits to be gained from using Microsoft Azure.
Increased flexibility
Organisations that operate using cloud as an infrastructure model will experience a significant increase in flexibility and agility, accommodating short- and long-term change with a virtual solution that will flex and grow with business needs.
Reduced expenditure
Paying flexible monthly fees for a serverless computing infrastructure, rather than investing in ageing hardware, ensures you are making the most of your assets and allows you to see a quick return on investment.
Enhanced resilience
By utilising a highly resilient cloud infrastructure, you can be confident that your business data is backed up and stored securely, while protected against breaches and natural disasters.
Improved security
At Stripe OLT, we can say with confidence that Microsoft security technologies are second to none. By utilising Azure, you’ll benefit from a vast array of security technologies built in to protect your data and your business.
Increased accessibility
By utilising cloud technology, your employees are empowered to work anywhere, from any device. Free from the constraints of time and place, your business will see an increase in employee efficiency and productivity.
We deliver secure cloud services and support with particular focus on Microsoft 365, Azure, and Azure Sentinel. Our aim is to help your organisation achieve tangible benefits whilst improving the experience and effectiveness of your people at work.
Which Cloud Type is Best for You
When hybrid is best
Migrating your data, processes, and operations to the cloud has the power to completely transform the way you do business. In today’s cloud-first world, we can select certain elements of the cloud to suit specific needs. So, when would a hybrid cloud solution be suitable?
When public is best
Offering a vast array of benefits, it’s easy to see why public cloud services are now a popular option for modern businesses. If you’re looking to completely transform your business, enable your workforce, and reduce operational costs, a public cloud environment could be the way forward.
