Infrastructure planning
Capacity, resilience, disaster recovery and cost modelling ahead of growth.
- Engagement
- Fixed-fee model, delivered as a spreadsheet you keep
- Typical timeline
- 3 weeks
- Starts with
- Twelve months of cloud invoices and a read-only billing role.
Your cloud bill was four thousand dirhams a month last year and nineteen thousand this month, and the only explanation on offer is growth. A three-year commitment is now on the table and nobody can say whether signing it is clever or expensive.
Being ready for the traffic before it arrives.
What we build
Concrete artefacts, handed over and documented.
A capacity model per component: what drives its cost, and what that cost does at three times today’s traffic
A twelve-month spend forecast built from your own usage rather than from a vendor pricing page
A resilience sheet stating in plain words how much data you can afford to lose and how long you can be down
A written recommendation on commitments, regions and data residency, with the assumption behind each one
What changes
Next year’s infrastructure cost becomes a forecast with a range instead of a monthly surprise
Commitment and reservation decisions get made with the break-even point calculated
Recovery targets are agreed by the business, so engineering stops guessing what matters
How it runs
- Week 1
01Measure today
Actual usage by service, and growth assumptions taken from your commercial plan rather than invented for the model.
- Week 2
02Model
Cost curves per component in Infracost, plus a load model wherever the numbers are worth testing rather than estimating.
- Week 3
03Recommend
Forecast, commitment advice and resilience targets, handed over as a spreadsheet you own and can run again yourself.
Chosen per project. Named here so you can see the shape of it.
