Cloud, Data Centre & Network is the physical and virtual foundation every other system rests on. We design, build and operate the full stack — from hyperscale cloud to on-premise data halls, from SD-WAN to the last network port — engineered to your resilience and cost targets.
Every enterprise runs on infrastructure. But infrastructure often gets treated as a cost centre to be minimised, not a capability to be engineered — until the day a data-centre outage costs a full day of revenue, a cloud bill doubles unexpectedly, or a network bottleneck caps a new product launch. Then it becomes an executive issue, badly and fast.
Infrastructure decisions compound. A five-year cloud contract signed without FinOps discipline quietly erodes EBITDA. A data-centre architecture sized for 2018 throttles the AI workload you need in 2026. A network topology designed around the headquarters breaks when you open a second country. The cost of bad infrastructure is invisible until it isn't.
Virtual Era's Infrastructure practice designs, builds, and operates the full stack — Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, private cloud, tier-III data centres, enterprise networking, SD-WAN, and disaster-recovery architectures. Every design is costed over five years, governed by FinOps discipline, and operated under contracted SLAs. Infrastructure becomes an asset line, not a risk line.
Every Digital Enterprise engagement is assembled from these modular services. Scope is agreed upfront, priced as fixed-outcome or time-and-materials, and governed by a single steering committee.
Cloud-fit assessment, workload classification, migration wave planning, and business-case modelling — before a single VM moves. We work with Microsoft, AWS, and Oracle Cloud as certified partners.
Production-grade landing zones — networking, identity, policy, logging, cost-management, and guardrails — deployed as infrastructure-as-code so every new workload inherits the governance baseline.
Tier-II to tier-III data centre design — power, cooling, physical security, cabling, rack layout, and commissioning. For enterprises requiring on-premise hosting for sovereignty, latency, or cost reasons.
Campus, data-centre, and branch networking — Cisco, Fortinet, and HPE Aruba — with segmentation, QoS, and observability engineered for the applications, not the other way round.
Software-defined WAN for multi-branch, multi-country operations — consolidating MPLS, broadband, and 4G/5G into one resilient, policy-driven fabric.
Enterprise backup on Veeam, immutable storage, air-gapped copies, and DR runbooks — tested quarterly with documented RTO/RPO performance.
VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, and open-source virtualisation — consolidation, lifecycle management, and HCI migration for enterprises rationalising data-centre footprint.
Workload placement across public cloud, private cloud, and edge — with consistent networking, identity, and observability end to end. Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, and private-cloud equivalents.
Continuous cloud cost engineering — rightsizing, reserved-instance strategy, workload tagging, showback/chargeback, and commitment-based savings plans. Reported monthly to finance, not just to IT.
Every Digital Enterprise engagement follows the same reference architecture — adapted to your scale, cloud posture, and compliance requirements. This is the stack-level view we present to steering committees and auditors.
Every solution draws on a subset of our ten capability pillars. Here are the practices that directly deliver Digital Enterprise engagements — each with dedicated leads, certified engineers, and standing playbooks.
Different entry points, same underlying system. Whether the trigger is growth, compliance, M&A, or pure cost pressure, the engagement shape is recognisable.
Typical: hardware reaching end-of-support, capex cycle approaching. Structured migration assessment, waved move to Azure or AWS, parallel operations, FinOps-first landing-zone design. 6–14 month engagement.
Banking, government, energy operators where data sovereignty requires on-premise hosting. Full design, procurement, build, and commissioning — with tier-III certification path documented.
Standing up connectivity, network security, and identity across new sites — SD-WAN backbone, ZTNA at the edge, single identity plane across all countries.
FinOps engagement: 4–6 weeks of analysis, rightsizing, commitment optimisation, tagging and showback. Typical result: 25–40% reduction in monthly run-rate within one quarter.
Digital Enterprise is platform-agnostic by design — we lead with the right tool for your scale and compliance load, not the one that pays us the highest margin. Our engineers hold certifications with every major vendor in this space.
Enterprise cloud migration for a multi-country operator — 220 business-critical workloads moved across three phases, landing zone built as infrastructure-as-code, FinOps discipline established from day one. Zero business-impacting incidents during migration. Cloud run-rate 31% below pre-migration on-prem TCO.
Four weeks, fixed fee. Our infrastructure architects map your current estate, benchmark against industry baselines, model cloud and on-premise scenarios over five years, and produce a board-ready recommendation with commercial envelope.
