With cloud adoption accelerating, managing Azure effectively has become a real challenge for IT teams, as technology evolves at lightning speed.
Our Azure cloud support goes beyond just keeping the lights on. We take the weight off your IT staff by taking a hands-on approach to optimising and refining your setup, ensuring you get the best performance, security, and value from your cloud investment.
We don’t just provide support – we help you unlock the full power of Azure.

We take extreme ownership of your IT environment, working tirelessly to resolve issues – even those outside our typical remit – without shifting blame or making excuses.

Breaking down the barriers to expert knowledge is at the core of our service. At Synextra, clients have direct access to our technical specialists and business leaders – no gatekeeping or lengthy waiting times. Through dedicated instant messaging channels, you’ll quickly access the support needed to resolve challenges fast, preventing bottlenecks and keeping your projects moving.
Managed Azure Services are professional services that handle the end-to-end management of your Microsoft Azure environment. This can include Azure migration and setup, handling workloads, cloud infrastructure, cyber security, disaster recovery, and optimisation among other aspects of the Azure cloud platform. It’s something you might make use of to streamline your IT operations and take away the burden of managing Azure resources for your business.
A Cloud MSP is a company (like Synextra!) that manages a customer’s cloud services for them. They often offer a range of services, including network, application, infrastructure, and security. They’ll enable businesses to reduce their IT costs and improve scalability.
In the context of Azure cloud environments, MSPs help companies move to the Azure cloud and then manage their infrastructure from that point. The MSP takes care of the technical work so businesses can focus their resources on their core work.
Cloud migration is one of the most important things an expert Azure MSP can do; getting companies off their hard-to-manage legacy hardware and onto the cloud.
At Synextra, we plan and execute migrations big and small, moving your data, apps, SaaS connections and services to your shiny new Azure infrastructure. We strive to make this important part of your cloud lifecycle as seamless and stress-free as possible, so you’ll be up and running again with minimal downtime.
Our simple No Win, No Fee pricing means if we don’t find any cost-saving opportunities, you don’t pay. If we do, and you implement the recommended change, we take a percentage of the savings – so our success is tied directly to yours.
Cloud security is an essential part of Microsoft Azure managed services. The best MSPs will make sure your environment is secure by managing identity and access management, configuring firewalls, and deploying malware protection. They’ll also provide the latest security patches for your devices, as well as offering real-time monitoring to identify any threats quickly. Planning and preparing for disaster recovery is also a key part of any cloud security setup.
With Synextra’s Secure+ tier, we integrate Azure Sentinel for top-notch log capturing and event correlation. We proactively review security alerts in just 30 minutes, without overloading you with alerts. We also scan all external web apps for vulnerabilities, and manage them effectively within an included time frame. There’ll also be a clear path towards a future SOC if you’re considering it. So you’ll have peace of mind knowing we’ve got your Azure estate covered on all things security.
Absolutely! Whether your setup involves only Azure resources on the public cloud, or is a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud (a mix of on-premises and cloud), we can support you.
Azure Managed Services pricing is almost always bespoke, as it depends on the size of your existing infrastructure, the scope of your desired setup, and other variable factors. It’s best to get in touch with us to find out what your estimated costs might be.
DevOps can be a complicated affair. With so many moving parts and people to keep in the loop, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But thankfully, Azure has plenty of tools for automating the tricky stuff. From Power Automate (formerly Flow) to Logic Apps and Pipelines to automated deployments and release notes, Azure gives you access to an arsenal of helpful workflow boosts.
Azure supports various types of migrations, such as Data Migration, Database Migration, and IaaS migration. For example, you can move your SQL Server databases to Azure using the Azure Database Migration Service. For partial migrations, Azure’s Hybrid Cloud solutions allow you to maintain a balance of on-premises and cloud-based workloads.
Azure provides a pricing calculator to help estimate the costs of various services. This, combined with a detailed assessment of your business’s IT needs, can help determine the cost of migration. The overall cost savings will depend on multiple factors, including the number of workloads you’re migrating and the specifics of your cloud adoption strategy. Again, this is something an experienced Azure migration partner can help calculate.
If you want to know which cloud is right for you, the team at Synextra can help you choose a fast, ultra-secure cloud environment that delivers you a competitive advantage.
