Hybrid Cloud & Virtualization

Hybrid Infrastructure Design

Every organisation has its own requirements for processing, storage and connectivity. That is why our design approach does not start from a pre-packaged catalogue, but from an analysis of real workloads, compliance requirements and the client's growth objectives.

We define architectures that integrate public cloud resources and on-premises infrastructure in a coherent and governable way: a single logical environment in which to run each workload where it is most efficient — without sacrificing visibility or control.

The result is a scalable, documented structure ready to evolve over time — not a collection of components to be manually reconciled.

Ongoing Maintenance and Support

A well-designed hybrid infrastructure requires constant oversight to maintain expected performance and prevent issues before they translate into operational impact. Our service covers the entire environment surface — from virtualised components to cloud resources — through proactive monitoring, update management and scheduled interventions.

We work alongside internal IT teams with contractually defined service levels, periodic reporting and a dedicated technical point of contact. The goal is not only to maintain operations: it is to ensure that the infrastructure continues to align with the organisation's priorities over time.

Microsoft Azure Local

Microsoft

Microsoft Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI) is the hyperconverged platform capable of hosting Windows, Linux and containerised workloads, integrating on-premises infrastructure with cloud services. A virtualisation stack that converges hypervisor, software-defined storage and programmable networking — managed with the same tools as the public cloud.

Inside Technologies, through direct collaboration with Microsoft's Product Group in Redmond and participation in Technology Adoption Programmes, is among the first companies in Italy to have accumulated active production installations. A track record spanning diverse sectors — from manufacturing to professional services — that allows us to tackle complex scenarios with concrete references, not just theoretical expertise.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Veeam

Seven out of ten organisations admit they are not ready to face a ransomware attack. Data protection must be designed alongside the infrastructure, with realistic and verified recovery objectives — RTO and RPO — that are not merely stated on paper but periodically tested in real failure scenarios.

We implement backup strategies covering virtualised on-premises environments, cloud resources and SaaS services such as productivity and identity management platforms.

It is important to remember that cloud providers guarantee the availability of their platform, but responsibility for protecting data and configurations remains with the customer. Current regulations — particularly in the financial, healthcare and critical infrastructure sectors — require the existence of a documented recovery plan and, in many cases, mandate immutable data.
