Why The Instillery
Ko ia kāhore nei i rapu, tē kitea.
He who does not seek will not find.
You could not hope for a more engaged partner. Not just the initial discovery piece of our current state of play, but also where the final destination should be on that journey and throughout the process. They didn’t just deal with us as a partner, they took all of our vendors on that journey. It is absolutely invaluable.

How We Do it
01
Map Your Systems
We discover your systems and their dependencies to make sure the data exists to understand the logical mapping of your applications.
03
Migration Scheduling
Not all applications are ready to move to the cloud, or as easy as others. We build a schedule of your workloads and applications for orderly migration.
05
Cloud Tools
Using Microsoft’s cloud migration tooling, and the best fit of migration methodologies, we will shift and transform your workloads for optimal cloud operations.
02
Resource Optimised
Your existing workloads are mapped to the best cloud VM instance for performance and cost-effectiveness based on resource utilisation. Remove the guesswork of capacity-based sizing.
04
Landing Zone Benchmark
We will build your new Azure landing zone or audit your existing Azure deployment, against the CIS framework. Your landing zone will be codified in Terraform working with Microsoft’s latest templates.
06
Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure
The Cloud Adoption Framework is a collection of documentation, implementation guidance, best practices, and tools that are proven guidance from Microsoft designed to accelerate your cloud adoption journey.
What We Offer
Azure Cloud Strategy
Reviewing or creating cloud strategies for customers considering a move to Azure. This includes cost analysis, benefits mapping, governance frameworks and organisational readiness. Our cloud strategy service leverages nearly a decade of experience to provide the best business outcome for your Azure journey.
Ready
In this phase of Azure Cloud Adoption, we prepare the Azure platform to host your services. Our CIS benchmark-compliant and NZ Government-approved Landing Zone will be designed and built with performance and security front of mind.
Innovate
Modernisation of applications to take advantage of public cloud, PaaS, serverless and microservices architectures. App modernisation is provided through a DevOps service model.
Manage
To ensure your platform is delivering the value and benefits needed, we work with you to establish an operational baseline and to provide controls that enable you to stay compliant. As your maturity increases, we help you to extend your service catalogue and baseline to accommodate mission-critical workloads.
Plan
As part of our Azure Cloud Adoption Framework, we help analyse current workloads and environments for suitability and aid planning for migrating to Azure. Cloud Discovery provides cost forecasting and performance optimisation for workloads moving to the cloud. Analysing workload patterns and application interdependencies creates a data-driven approach to migration planning.
Migrate
Planning, migration and remediation services for the move of workloads to the public cloud. Workloads are migrated to Azure leveraging our migration processes, standard operating procedures, technical test plans and supporting frameworks developed through years of experience. Not to mention a stable of epic engineers.
Govern
Cloud governance focuses on the skills and processes that are needed to align IT strategy and goals with your organisation’s business strategy and goals, to ensure your organisation maximises the business value of its IT investment and minimises the business risks.
Organise
Operating Azure Cloud is hard without the right skills and structures in place to support it. We help you lift your game with training plans, better aligned team structures and modern roles with mapped responsibilities to ensure that your engine room fires on all cylinders.
