01 / Overview
What we do
At a glance
Core platforms
Azure Arc, VMware, Azure Local
Availability target
99.99% across sites
Resilience
Immutable backup, tested DR
Engagement
Co-managed or fully managed
Not everything belongs in the public cloud. We design hybrid platforms that keep latency-sensitive and sovereign workloads close, while extending cloud management everywhere.
Azure Arc brings consistent governance, security, and operations across datacenter, edge, and cloud – over VMware, Nutanix, or HCI – managed as one estate.
How we engage
01

Held · re-earned annually
This expertise is backed by a Microsoft competency audited against real delivery - not a self-declared skill.
About this designation →02 / Capabilities
What's inside the practice
Each capability is a sub-service we scope, deliver, and operate, with the engineering specifics, not brochure lines.
Azure Local & HCI
Hyperconverged infrastructure for on-prem and edge, with cloud-managed lifecycle.
Hybrid networking
Resilient connectivity – ExpressRoute, VPN, and SD-WAN – designed for failover, not just uptime.
Backup & DR
Immutable backups and tested recovery across sites, with named owners and quarterly drills.
03 / Reference architecture
How we build it
A reference pattern, not a template. Every layer is tailored to your environment, constraints, and compliance posture.
Cloud plane
Azure services, Azure Monitor, Defender for Cloud
Control plane
Azure Arc, Policy at scale, Update mgmt
On-prem / edge
Azure Local, VMware / Nutanix, Kubernetes
Connectivity
ExpressRoute, Site-to-site VPN, SD-WAN
Resilience
Immutable backup, Site recovery, DR runbooks
Cross-cutting
Unified identity
Patching
Monitoring
Data sovereignty
04 / Technology
Vendor-agnostic by design
We hold deep Microsoft specializations, and we are deliberately multi-vendor. We pick the platform and tooling that fit your outcome, your team, and your constraints, never a single badge.
The stack below is representative; we work with what you already run, and tell you plainly when something should change.
Control plane
Azure Arc, Azure Policy, Azure Local
Virtualization
VMware vSphere, Nutanix, Hyper-V, Azure Stack HCI
Connectivity
ExpressRoute, Cisco, SD-WAN, VPN
Data protection
Veeam, Azure Site Recovery, Immutable backup
05 / Engineering standards
We go deep, on purpose
Whatever the practice, the same engineering discipline holds. These are the commitments behind every BITSUMMIT delivery.
Infrastructure as code
Every environment is reproducible: Bicep, Terraform, and Git, never console clicks.
Observability by default
Dashboards, alerts, and SLOs wired in before go-live, not after the first incident.
Security baselines
CIS and Microsoft baselines applied as policy, with drift detection and remediation.
Tested recovery
Backups and failover are proven on a schedule, with named owners and runbooks.
Documented and yours
Architecture decision records and runbooks you own: no black boxes, no lock-in.
FinOps discipline
Cost is a first-class metric: budgets, tagging, and right-sizing from day one.
Standards & frameworks
Built to the standards your auditors check
We build to the standards your auditors, insurers, and regulators actually check – and keep the evidence current between audits.
Recovery, proven quarterly
Immutable backups and recovery drills four times a year, with named owners, runbooks, and evidenced results.
Hardened by policy
CIS and Microsoft baselines applied as policy across servers, Kubernetes, and data services, with drift detection and remediation through Azure Arc.
Availability engineering
Designed to a 99.99% availability target across hybrid sites, with resilient connectivity built for failover, not just uptime.
One control plane
Azure Arc extends consistent policy, security, and update management across datacenter, edge, and cloud - managed as one estate.

09 / FAQ
Questions we hear
We run VMware and Nutanix - does that fit?
Yes. Arc brings consistent policy, security, and updates across VMware, Nutanix, and Azure Local - managed as one estate.
What availability can we plan around?
We design to a 99.99% availability target across hybrid sites, with connectivity built for failover rather than just uptime.
How do you prove recovery actually works?
Backups are immutable and recovery is drilled four times a year, with named owners, runbooks, and evidenced results - not a binder on a shelf.
Can sovereign or latency-sensitive workloads stay on-prem?
Yes - that's the point of the practice. Workloads that belong close stay close, while Azure Arc extends cloud governance and operations to wherever they live.
Is this just a VMware replacement?
It can be. Azure Local is a strong landing spot for VMware migrations, but we design to your constraints, not a single product.
Do we have to move data to Azure?
No. Arc extends cloud management to where your data already lives, so sovereign and latency-sensitive workloads stay on-prem.
