Deep on two platforms, honest about both
Navalti holds partner status with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft. We’d rather be deep on two platforms than shallow on five — and we’ll tell you plainly which one fits your workload, including when the answer is “both” or “neither yet”.
Amazon Web Services
The broadest service catalogue in the market and the platform where much of the cloud-native playbook was written. We design and operate AWS environments built on Organizations, with landing zones, IAM done properly, and Infrastructure as Code from the first resource.
On the cost side, AWS rewards discipline: Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, and spot capacity can reshape the bill substantially — when modelled against real usage rather than optimism.
Where we work on AWS
- Landing zones and multi-account architecture (AWS Organizations, Control Tower)
- Compute: EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda — chosen by workload, not fashion
- Managed data: RDS, DynamoDB, S3 lifecycle design
- Networking: VPC design, Direct Connect and VPN hybrid connectivity
- Cost: Savings Plans, RI strategy, Cost Explorer and budget governance
- Security: IAM, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, Config baselines
Microsoft Azure
For organisations that run on Microsoft — Windows Server, SQL Server, Active Directory, Microsoft 365 — Azure is often the path of least friction and best economics. Hybrid Benefit alone can change the migration business case materially for licence-heavy estates.
We build Azure environments on landing zone architecture with Entra ID at the centre, policy-driven governance, and the same as-code discipline we apply everywhere.
Where we work on Azure
- Azure landing zones and subscription architecture
- Identity: Microsoft Entra ID, hybrid identity with AD
- Compute: VMs, AKS, App Service, Azure Functions
- Data: Azure SQL, storage tiering and lifecycle design
- Cost: Reservations, Azure Hybrid Benefit, budget governance
- Security: Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, policy baselines
Hybrid & multi-cloud
Some workloads belong on-premise — for latency, regulation, or economics — and some organisations end up on two clouds through acquisition or history. Both are manageable realities, not failures. We design hybrid connectivity, federated identity, and workload placement that treats your actual estate as the requirement.
One honest caution: two clouds cost more than one to run well — in tooling, in skills, in operational surface. We’ll recommend multi-cloud when it makes business sense, and say so clearly when it’s complexity you’d be buying for its own sake.
What hybrid work covers
- Hybrid connectivity: VPN, dedicated links, DNS across estates
- Identity federation across on-premise and cloud
- Workload placement strategy — what runs where, and why
- Data residency architectures for NDPA obligations
- Consistent security baselines and observability across environments
What partner status does for you
The badge matters less than what sits behind it: access to partner engineering resources when a design question needs a platform answer, funding programmes that can offset client migration costs where projects qualify, and accountability to the platforms we build on. Where a funding programme could apply to your project, we’ll pursue it with you — eligibility is decided by the platforms, so we won’t promise what isn’t ours to grant.
