We’re the Multi-Cloud
Experts

The cloud landscape is forever changing, and we understand how complex managing
more than one cloud (Azure & AWS) service can be.

We’re here to help you centralise your hybrid IT strategy and give you back the time
you need to innovate.

The Dangers of
Shadow IT

The data centre is the heart of all business operations. It follows the traditional IT lifecycle of strategic and tactical investment, growing with the needs of the business. All this change can leave your organisation with a mismatch of services and platforms. Over time, different teams and even shadow IT can leave your data centre with many siloed applications, duplicate services, with no clear strategic roadmap.

Don’t stress, nobody is perfect. But with Ultima you can trust us to get you on the path to success.

Supercharge Your
Data

The journey towards a new data centre strategy is always evolving. It’s ok to be intimidated by a fully cloud environment. That’s where a Hybrid Cloud platform comes into play.

A hybrid platform can give you movement of applications and data services both on-prem and in the cloud. This provides a seamless cloud network – extending the boundary from edge, data centre to the public cloud – while adopting technologies such as a software defined network to connect all the services together.

Whatever path you decide, we can help you gain control of network security, regardless of where the workload is.

Deploying you to the
Private Cloud

Data centre infrastructure eventually reaches the end life and must be replaced. Fact. Maintaining legacy systems past their intended support date is risky, and in many impacts business operations, security and compliance.

As a result, IT teams struggle to respond to future business requirements, as the underlying platform doesn’t support or integrate with new technologies. If this sounds familiar, check out our packaged services below. We can help you get off the naughty list in no time!
