IT LONESTAR

YOUR IT SOLUTIONS

Cloud Services

Scalable, secure cloud solutions for business growth.

Overview

The cloud is the foundation of modern business agility. With IT LONESTAR Cloud Services, your organization can securely migrate to the cloud, enabling remote access, scalability, and simplified collaboration — all while reducing IT maintenance costs.

We help you move data, emails, and applications to leading cloud platforms like Microsoft 365, Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS. From the initial readiness assessment to post-migration optimization, we handle every stage of the process. Our certified engineers design tailored environments that ensure security, compliance, and performance for your operations — wherever your teams work.

What’s Included

Cloud Readiness Assessment

Before any migration, we perform a detailed evaluation of your current IT environment — servers, data, and applications — to identify what can move, what needs upgrading, and what should stay on-premises. We then deliver a personalized migration roadmap that balances risk, cost, and speed, ensuring the smoothest possible transition to the cloud.

Migration Services

We manage the entire migration process, including emails, files, applications, and databases. Our engineers schedule migrations during off-peak hours to avoid disrupting your workflow. Every step — from data export to verification — follows a proven methodology designed to minimize downtime and data loss. We also include rollback and testing plans to guarantee stability after go-live.

Identity and Access Management

Access control is essential in cloud environments. IT LONESTAR sets up secure authentication policies including Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to ensure only verified users can reach sensitive resources. We integrate directory services like Azure AD or Google Workspace for centralized control and smooth user experiences across all devices.

Backup, Retention, and Disaster Recovery

Even in the cloud, backups are vital. We configure automated backup schedules, retention rules, and cross-region replication to keep your data protected. In case of accidental deletion or security incidents, your systems can be restored quickly to minimize downtime and data loss.

FAQs

Will moving to the cloud disrupt our daily work?

No. IT LONESTAR uses a phased migration approach designed to minimize downtime. Most transitions happen outside business hours, and users continue working normally. In the rare case that downtime is necessary, we communicate clearly and schedule it strategically to prevent disruptions.

How do you secure our data in the cloud?

We apply multi-layer security measures — including encryption in transit and at rest, identity verification through MFA, and continuous monitoring for suspicious activity. Our configurations follow industry standards such as NIST and Microsoft Secure Score, ensuring your cloud environment remains fully protected.

Can you manage different cloud platforms for us?

Yes. IT LONESTAR supports Microsoft 365, Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS. We can also integrate hybrid environments, where some services stay on-premise while others move to the cloud — giving you flexibility without complexity.

How do you handle backups and disaster recovery?

We configure automated backup systems that replicate your data to secure storage locations. In the event of data loss, recovery is fast and precise. Our disaster recovery plans also include redundancy options, so your business stays operational even if one environment fails.

How do I ensure we don’t overspend in the cloud?

We provide monthly usage and cost reports highlighting where you can save money. Our optimization process detects idle instances, underused licenses, and duplicated storage. Over time, this can reduce cloud costs by up to 30% while maintaining performance.
