Cloud Architecture
& Migration

Design, migrate, and optimise cloud environments that scale with your ambitions

Cloud infrastructure, built for scale

Syncus architects cloud environments that don't just meet today's requirements — they're designed to scale with your ambitions over the next five years. Whether you're beginning your cloud journey or optimising a mature multi-cloud estate, our TOGAF-certified architects bring deep hands-on experience across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform.

Our approach starts with your business outcomes, not with technology choices. We conduct a thorough assessment of your existing environment, workload profiles, compliance requirements, and total cost of ownership before recommending a target architecture. This means you get a migration plan that minimises risk, maximises ROI, and avoids vendor lock-in from day one.

Every cloud engagement is delivered with Infrastructure as Code at its core — Terraform and Bicep modules, CI/CD pipelines, and policy-as-code guardrails that ensure your environment remains compliant, auditable, and repeatable long after the project concludes. We don't just hand over a cloud; we leave you with the tooling and governance to operate it confidently.

At a Glance

Full-spectrum cloud capabilities

From initial strategy through to Day 2 operations and ongoing optimisation

Multi-Cloud Strategy

Vendor-agnostic strategy across Azure, AWS, and GCP. We evaluate each platform against your workload requirements, compliance needs, and commercial considerations to deliver the right fit — not just the popular one.

Lift-and-Shift & Re-platforming

Phased migration programs that match each workload's modernisation journey — from rehost to replatform to refactor. Our methodology maintains business continuity and zero downtime throughout the transition.

Infrastructure as Code

All environments delivered with Terraform and Bicep modules, state management, and CI/CD pipelines. Policy-as-code via Checkov ensures compliance guardrails are enforced from day one — not bolted on later.

Cloud Cost Optimisation & FinOps

Workload classification, Reserved Instance strategy, and FinOps dashboards that give your team real-time visibility into cloud spend. Typical engagements achieve 25–40% reduction in monthly cloud costs.

Landing Zone Design & Governance

Enterprise-scale landing zones with management group hierarchy, policy assignments, RBAC, and network hub-and-spoke topologies. Built to APRA CPS 234, ISM, and Australian Government cloud standards.

Hybrid & Edge Computing

Architecture for hybrid scenarios using Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, and on-premises integration. Designed for organisations with data sovereignty requirements or latency-sensitive workloads that must remain on-site.

Our delivery approach

A proven four-phase methodology that reduces migration risk and accelerates time to value

01

Assess

Cloud readiness assessment, workload profiling, dependency mapping, and TCO analysis across current and target architectures.

02

Architect

Target architecture design, landing zone blueprints, security baselines, and IaC module development. Full peer review and stakeholder sign-off.

03

Migrate

Wave-based migration execution with automated testing, rollback procedures, and real-time monitoring. Zero downtime guaranteed on production workloads.

04

Optimise

Post-migration FinOps review, performance tuning, governance hardening, and knowledge transfer to ensure your team operates the environment with confidence.
