Your cloud environment should work as hard as your business

 Yes. When it’s designed with security in mind from the start. In fact, a well-architected cloud environment can be more secure than traditional on-premises or legacy infrastructure, because modern cloud platforms offer built-in controls, continuous monitoring, and automated policy enforcement that are difficult and expensive to replicate on-premises. The risks typically arise not from the cloud itself, but from poor configuration, unmanaged access, or security that’s bolted on after the fact. CBTS security professionals work alongside our cloud engineers throughout every engagement — conducting security assessments, implementing identity and access controls, enabling 24x7 monitoring with AI-assisted threat detection, and ensuring compliance requirements are addressed before go-live. Security isn’t a separate workstream; it’s embedded at every layer. 

 Public cloud, — including platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, — delivers compute, storage, and services over shared infrastructure on a pay-as-you-go basis. It’s well suited for development environments, scalable applications, and workloads with variable demand. Private cloud uses dedicated infrastructure, either in a colocation facility or on-premises, and is typically chosen for workloads with strict regulatory, security, or latency requirements. Hybrid cloud combines both models, allowing organizations to run sensitive or high-performance workloads on private infrastructure while leveraging public cloud for scale, flexibility, and cost efficiency. Most enterprises — 89% according to Flexera’s 2025 State of the Cloud Report — now operate in hybrid or multi-cloud environments. CBTS helps organizations assess each workload and determine the right placement, then designs, builds, and manages the resulting environment as a cohesive whole. 

It’s possible, but cloud environments are increasingly complex to manage. Internal teams stretched across day-to-day operations rarely have the bandwidth or specialized certifications to stay ahead of evolving best practices, cost optimization, and security threats. The Flexera 2025 State of the Cloud Report found that 60% of organizations now rely on managed service providers to help manage cloud complexity and spending — and that an average of 27% of cloud spend is wasted due to idle resources and misconfigurations. CBTS cloud engineers are AWS-certified (85+ certifications), Azure-accredited (180+ individuals), and maintain HPE Triple Platinum Plus status. We can supplement your team as much or as little as you need, — from a one-time migration and handoff to full ongoing management of your cloud environment.

Cloud migration costs depend on the scope of your environment, the complexity of your applications, the platforms you’re migrating to, and the level of ongoing management you require. While every engagement is scoped individually, organizations that migrate and modernize workloads strategically (— rather than simply “lifting and shifting”) — typically see infrastructure cost reductions of 20% to 40%, according to McKinsey research. One of the most significant cost factors isn’t the migration itself, but what comes after. Unmanaged cloud environments frequently accumulate waste through idle resources, over-provisioned instances, and duplicate services. CBTS provides transparent scoping and pricing upfront, and our managed cloud services are designed to actively control costs, not just maintain the environment.

CBTS engineers design and manage environments across Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) as well as HPE and hybrid infrastructure. We hold 85+ AWS certifications and maintain AWS Partner status; 180+ Microsoft Azure-accredited individuals and Microsoft Solutions Partner designation; and HPE Triple Platinum Plus status, the highest tier in the HPE Partner Ready Vantage Program. Our platform-agnostic assessment approach means we recommend the right platform for each workload rather than defaulting to a single vendor. What’s more, we manage multi-cloud environments as a unified whole, so your team isn’t left coordinating between multiple providers.
