Cloud Consulting & Managed Services: From Assessment to Day-Two Operations
NTSPL's cloud consulting and managed services take a workload from discovery through landing-zone build and wave migration, then into 24×7 operations and monthly FinOps on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud. One method and one set of quality gates apply across all three clouds. Each service page covers the platform-specific engineering.
Engagement tracks
One Method, Documented Once
Earlier versions of this site repeated the same delivery, security and FinOps text on every service page. That text now lives here only. Each AWS, Azure and Google Cloud service page explains its own engineering decisions, architecture, security controls, pricing levers and case studies, and links back to this page for the shared engagement model.
Six Tracks You Can Buy Separately or End-to-End
Cloud Readiness Assessment
Agent-based or agentless discovery, dependency mapping, a 6R decision for each application, and a 3-year TCO against the on-premises refresh cost.
Output: workload placement register, TCO model, migration roadmapLanding Zone Build
Account, subscription or project hierarchy; identity federation; hub network; central logging; guardrail policies; and a tagging standard, all deployed as infrastructure-as-code.
Output: Terraform/Bicep repo, guardrail catalogue, RACIWave Migration
Move groups of 10–40 servers by dependency, with replication, test cut-over, a business sign-off window and a rollback plan for each wave.
Output: wave runbooks, cut-over and rollback logsApplication Modernization
Move applications to containers, managed databases, serverless or event-driven integration where release speed or operating cost justifies it, with a business case for each application.
Output: modernization backlog with value scoringManaged Cloud Operations
24×7 monitoring, incident and problem management, patching, backup verification, capacity management and change control under an agreed service boundary.
Output: monthly service review, SLA reportFinOps & Optimization
Cost allocation by tag, anomaly alerts, rightsizing, commitment planning (Savings Plans, reservations or committed-use discounts) and showback to business units.
Output: cost scorecard, savings trackerSecurity Operations
Posture management, threat detection triage, vulnerability remediation tracking and incident handling aligned to the CERT-In 6-hour reporting requirement.
Output: posture score trend, incident registerDR as a Service
A replication design based on RPO and RTO, a runbook, and failover drills at least twice a year with evidence an auditor can review.
Output: DR drill report, RTO/RPO evidenceSix Gates Every Workload Passes Before Production
G1 · Scope sign-off
Business owner, criticality tier, RPO and RTO, and data classification are recorded for each application.
G2 · Design review
An architect from another team reviews the target design against the provider's Well-Architected or Cloud Adoption Framework pillars.
G3 · Security baseline
Identity, encryption, network exposure and logging checks pass, and no critical posture findings remain open.
G4 · Test cut-over
Functional, integration and performance tests pass on replicated data, with results signed by the application owner.
G5 · Recoverability proof
A restore or failover is tested and timed against the agreed RTO before go-live.
G6 · Operational handover
Monitoring, alert routing, runbooks, cost owner tags and support contacts are live before hypercare ends.
Governance Baseline Applied to Every Engagement
These controls are common to all three clouds. The way each platform implements them is explained on its individual service pages.
- Single sign-on with MFA through the customer's identity provider, with no long-lived access keys for people
- Central, tamper-resistant audit logging retained to meet CERT-In's 180-day log-retention direction
- Data classification mapped to India-region placement where the DPDP Act or a sector regulator (RBI, SEBI, IRDAI) requires it
- Backups isolated from production credentials, with immutability for critical tiers
- A documented shared-responsibility matrix between the customer, NTSPL and the cloud provider
FinOps Operating Rhythm
Cost management runs as a monthly governance cycle, not a one-time clean-up.
- Week 1: allocation report by cost centre, plus a review of untagged spend
- Week 2: rightsizing and idle-resource actions, approved by workload owners
- Week 3: commitment-coverage review and purchase recommendations
- Week 4: anomaly retrospective and budget forecast update
- Quarterly: architecture-level savings, such as storage tiering, Graviton/Ampere/ARM moves and licence optimization
