Cloud Infrastructure & Migration
Modern Infrastructure. Thoughtfully Designed and Managed.
Cloud decisions should begin with the requirements of the business and the technology environment—not with the assumption that every workload belongs in the cloud.
Intrinsic helps organizations evaluate, design, migrate, and manage cloud infrastructure across Azure, Microsoft 365, and hybrid environments. We consider applications, dependencies, security, connectivity, performance, and business continuity to establish an infrastructure model aligned with how the organization operates.
Cloud Strategy & Architecture
Determine the Right Environment for Each Workload
Cloud strategy begins with understanding the current environment and determining what needs to change.
Intrinsic evaluates existing infrastructure, applications, dependencies, security requirements, operational priorities, and business objectives to determine the appropriate architecture for the organization.
This includes assessing where workloads should operate, how cloud and existing infrastructure need to interact, what connectivity and identity requirements must be addressed, and where security, governance, resilience, or performance considerations influence the design.
The result is a defined infrastructure strategy that establishes the technical foundation for modernization, migration, and ongoing management.
Business Requirements
Operational goals, constraints, and priorities.
Environment Assessment
Applications, dependencies, security, and infrastructure.
Target Architecture
Defined, practical, and aligned with the organization.
Cloud Migration
Managing the Transition Across the Environment
Cloud migration requires more than moving individual workloads. Applications may depend on databases, identity services, network connectivity, integrations, storage, security controls, and other systems that need to remain available throughout the transition.
Intrinsic evaluates these dependencies before establishing the migration approach. Workloads are assessed for technical requirements, business criticality, security considerations, performance needs, and their relationship to the broader environment.
Migration plans define sequencing, technical preparation, validation requirements, cutover procedures, and continuity considerations. Implementation is coordinated to limit operational disruption while maintaining visibility across the systems affected by the transition.
Following migration, workloads and dependencies are reviewed to confirm that the environment is operating as intended.
- 01
Assess Dependencies
Understand relationships across applications, data, identity, and infrastructure.
- 02
Plan Transition
Define sequencing, technical preparation, and cutover approach.
- 03
Migrate Workloads
Execute a coordinated implementation process.
- 04
Validate Environment
Confirm systems are operating as intended.
Hybrid Infrastructure
Cloud and On-Premises Systems Operating as One Environment
Cloud adoption does not necessarily require every application, system, or workload to move away from existing infrastructure.
Operational requirements, application dependencies, performance considerations, security requirements, or business constraints may require cloud and on-premises resources to continue operating together.
Intrinsic designs and manages hybrid environments with consideration for connectivity, identity, application dependencies, security, data movement, performance, and business continuity.
This creates an infrastructure model in which cloud and on-premises resources operate as a coordinated environment, with consistent management and visibility across both.
Our Delivery Framework
Structured From Assessment Through Transition
Cloud infrastructure changes require coordination across applications, systems, users, security, and operations. Intrinsic uses a structured delivery approach to manage these dependencies throughout the engagement.
01
Assess & Plan
Evaluate existing infrastructure, applications, dependencies, security requirements, and operational priorities. Define the target environment, scope, migration requirements, and implementation approach.
02
Design & Govern
Establish the cloud or hybrid architecture, including connectivity, identity, access, security controls, governance requirements, resilience, and operational management.
03
Implement & Transition
Prepare and migrate workloads through a coordinated implementation process that includes technical validation, sequencing, testing, and planned cutovers.
04
Manage & Optimize
Following implementation, monitor and manage the environment, review performance and resource utilization, maintain security and configurations, and address changing infrastructure requirements.
Cloud Infrastructure Management
Managing the Environment After Migration
Cloud infrastructure continues to change after deployment. Workloads evolve, resources scale, applications are introduced, permissions change, and security, performance, and consumption requirements shift.
Intrinsic provides ongoing management to keep the environment documented, monitored, secure, resilient, and aligned with current business requirements.
Architecture
Defined, documented, and reviewed as requirements change.
Security
Access, configurations, and security controls reviewed and maintained.
Performance
Capacity and performance monitored against operational requirements.
Consumption
Resource utilization and expenditure evaluated on an ongoing basis.
Resilience
Backup and recovery capabilities maintained and tested against defined objectives.
Change
Infrastructure and configuration changes controlled and documented.
