ADD SOLUTION
CLOUD

Cloud is not where the infrastructure is. It is how it was architected to operate.

Cloud expands the possibilities for scale, availability, automation and access to technology services, but it also introduces new decisions about architecture, security, connectivity, identity, costs and governance.

Add Solution designs, implements, migrates and operates cloud environments based on workloads, dependencies and business objectives, turning cloud resources into a secure, resilient and observable architecture ready to evolve.

ENGENHARIA APLICADA

Cloud gera valor quando arquitetura e operação evoluem junto com o consumo.

A Add Solution avalia workloads e constrói ambientes cloud e híbridos com governança, segurança, conectividade, resiliência e controle econômico.

Arquitetos avaliando dependências de aplicações em uma arquitetura de nuvem híbrida

Arquitetura, execução e operação tratadas como partes da mesma responsabilidade.

CLOUD STARTS WITH THE WORKLOAD

The first cloud decision should not be choosing a provider.

Applications, databases, dependencies, integrations, criticality, performance, latency, security, data, availability, growth, costs and regulatory requirements must guide the technology.

The provider supplies the resources. Architecture defines how they will be used.
CLOUD ASSESSMENT

Before migrating, we need to understand what exists and why it exists.

Workloads, servers, storage, network, applications, databases, identity, security, backup, performance, costs, licensing and criticality shape the decision.

01RetainWorkloads that remain where they are.
02ModernizeAdapt architecture and capabilities.
03MigrateMove with strategy and validation.
04RearchitectRedesign components and dependencies.
05ReplaceAdopt another service when appropriate.
06DecommissionRemove what no longer needs to remain.
A good cloud strategy also identifies what should not be migrated.
LANDING ZONE

Before the first workload, the cloud needs a foundation.

A landing zone organizes the initial structure so resources can grow with control, visibility, security and defined responsibilities.

01

Accounts & subscriptions

Organizational structure and environment separation.

02

Identity & access

Roles, privileges, MFA and segregation of duties.

03

Networking

Virtual networks, subnets, routes, DNS and connectivity.

04

Security

Policies, segmentation, exposure and data protection.

05

Logging & observability

Events, metrics, audit trails and operational visibility.

06

Governance

Naming, tags, ownership and lifecycle.

07

Costs

Allocation, budget, consumption and optimization.

08

Operations

Changes, incidents, capacity and evolution.

CLOUD ARCHITECTURE

In the cloud, availability must also be designed.

Regions, availability zones, compute, storage, networking, load balancing, managed services and redundancy provide mechanisms that must be combined according to the workload.

Cloud provides resilience mechanisms. The architecture decides whether — and how — they will be used.
Data Center
COMPUTE

Cloud means more possibilities than virtual machines alone.

VMs, containers, managed services and serverless models may be part of the architecture according to compatibility, operations, performance, costs and modernization objectives.

Virtualization
STORAGE & DATA

In the cloud, storing data is also an architectural decision.

Block, file, object and managed services must balance capacity, performance, latency, durability, availability, access, protection and costs.

Servers & Storage Backup & Disaster Recovery
CLOUD NETWORKING

The cloud starts virtual but still depends on networking.

Virtual networks, subnets, routes, security controls, load balancing, DNS, addressing and private connectivity support integration and expansion.

Corporate Networks SD-WAN & Connectivity
HYBRID CLOUD

Cloud and Data Center do not need to compete. They need to connect.

Latency, legacy systems, security, regulation, dependencies, costs and gradual modernization may require on-premises and cloud environments to coexist.

ON-PREMISESCONNECTIVITYCLOUD

The question is where each workload should run and how the environments need to work together.

Data Center Connectivity
CLOUD MIGRATION

Migrating a machine is different from migrating an application.

Dependencies, data, network, identity, DNS, integrations, performance, security, backup, windows, rollback and validation guide each transition.

01

Rehost

Transfer with limited changes.

02

Replatform

Adapt components to the new platform.

03

Refactor

Modify the architecture when justified.

04

Repurchase

Replace with another service model.

05

Retain

Keep the workload in the current environment.

06

Retire

Decommission what is no longer needed.

MODERNIZATION

The greatest value is not always in running the same infrastructure somewhere else.

Migration moves workloads. Modernization can adapt the architecture through managed services, automation, containers, new data models and integrations — only when it makes sense.

IDENTITY

In the cloud, identity is also part of the infrastructure.

Users, groups, roles, service identities, privileges, MFA, least privilege and segregation of duties control who can create, change or delete resources.

PAM & Identity Security
CLOUD SECURITY

The provider protects the cloud. The architecture must protect what you put in it.

Responsibilities vary by service and provider. Identity, configuration, segmentation, exposure, encryption, logs, vulnerabilities, workloads, data and access still require decisions.

Cybersecurity PAM & Identity Security
BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY

Being in the cloud does not eliminate the need for recovery.

Redundancy is not backup. Replication is not backup. A snapshot is not a complete strategy. High availability is not disaster recovery.

Availability reduces certain types of disruption. Recoverability prepares the organization when disruption cannot be avoided.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
OBSERVABILITY

Elasticity without visibility can turn flexibility into unpredictability.

Performance, availability, logs, metrics, events, capacity, consumption, costs and applications must remain observable after implementation.

AI & Observability Command Center
COSTS & FINOPS

Capacity can be procured in minutes. Costs can grow just as quickly.

Rightsizing, idle resources, elasticity, storage, transfer, commitments, tags, allocation, budgets and monitoring connect consumption and accountability.

Cloud is not automatically cheaper. It can be cost-efficient when architecture, consumption and governance work together.
GOVERNANCE

Speed without governance may only accelerate the creation of complexity.

Policies, identity, naming, tags, ownership, logs, costs, security, standardization and lifecycle enable controlled growth.

Governance exists so we know why resources exist, who is accountable for them and how they should operate.
INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE

Automation makes a good architecture reproducible.

Infrastructure as Code promotes standardization, repeatability, versioning and reduced manual configuration. It does not replace architecture or eliminate the need for validation.

MULTICLOUD

Using more than one cloud is not a strategy by itself.

Requirements, services, acquisitions, customers, geography or strategy may create multicloud environments. They also increase the complexity of governance, identity, networking, costs and operations.

More providers mean more possibilities — and also more decisions to manage.
CLOUD ECOSYSTEMS

We do not start with the provider. We start with the requirement.

Add Solution works with environments based on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), used according to project requirements — without turning architecture into a catalogue.

Cloud & Virtualization Technologies
CLOUD OPERATIONS

The project ends. Operations begin.

Monitoring, incidents, capacity, costs, security, backup, changes, updates, governance and optimization accompany the solution lifecycle.
