Migration & modernisation
Azure migration services
North Peak Cloud migrates workloads to Azure so you land cheaper, faster and AI-ready — not just lifted-and-shifted. We follow Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework: assess the estate, build a secure landing zone, migrate in waves, and modernise the workloads that benefit. You get a data-driven cost picture up front and senior engineers who do the work directly.
- Cloud Adoption Framework assessment and business case
- Secure landing zone before anything moves
- Wave-based migration with minimal downtime
- Modernisation of workloads that benefit (containers, PaaS, AI)
- Cost modelled before you commit
AI on Azure, done right.
AI-ready foundations
Azure AI Foundry hubs and projects, private networking to your models, identity and policy guardrails — the secure base every AI workload needs before it scales.
Cost control for AI & cloud
FinOps for the AI era: token and PTU strategy, model right-sizing, reservations and anomaly detection. We find the waste your invoice is hiding.
Platform engineering
Landing zones as code in Bicep or Terraform, GitOps, policy-as-code and golden paths. Enterprise-grade Azure delivered in weeks, not quarters.
Security & responsible AI
Content filtering, evaluations, data-residency and audit-ready guardrails aligned to the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 — trustworthy AI you can put in front of customers.
Migration & modernisation
Cloud Adoption Framework migrations and Well-Architected reviews that leave you cheaper, faster and ready for AI — not just lifted-and-shifted.

Asked and answered.
How long does an Azure migration take?+
It depends on estate size and complexity, but a structured Cloud Adoption Framework migration typically runs in waves over weeks to a few months. North Peak Cloud gives you a phased plan and cost model up front so there are no surprises.
Should I lift-and-shift or modernise?+
Both have a place. Lift-and-shift is fastest and lowest-risk for stable workloads; modernisation pays off where it cuts cost or unlocks capability. We assess each workload and recommend per case rather than applying one rule to everything.
