DESSS provides cloud consulting services in Austin from our office at 3218 Gonzales Street. We help Austin organizations plan cloud architecture, migrate workloads, automate infrastructure and keep costs under control on Microsoft Azure and AWS.
Many Austin companies are cloud-first technology businesses that need scalable, well-governed environments as they grow. Others, including public sector teams and research groups, are moving established systems to the cloud and need careful planning around security and compliance.
For engineering teams we focus on infrastructure as code, automated pipelines and cost visibility. For established organizations we focus on migration waves and governance. See our main cloud consulting page for more.

CLOUD SERVICES
What our cloud consulting covers
Cloud work spans strategy, migration and day-to-day operations. These are the areas we help with most.
Landing zone and governance
What is a landing zone? A landing zone is the foundation every workload sits on: subscriptions or accounts, networking, identity, policies, logging and naming standards. Getting it right first avoids rework later.
See our Azure landing zone security service.
–Subscription or account structure
–Hub-and-spoke networking
–Policies and guardrails
–Central logging
Cost optimization
Why is our cloud bill higher than expected? Oversized resources, idle environments and pay-as-you-go pricing for steady workloads are the usual causes. We right-size, schedule non-production shutdowns, apply reservations or savings plans, and set budgets and alerts.
–Right-sizing
–Reservations and savings plans
–Idle resource cleanup
–Budgets and alerts
Backup and disaster recovery
How do we recover if a region or system fails? We design backups and recovery to match agreed recovery time and recovery point objectives, then test restores so the plan is proven before it is needed.
Learn about disaster recovery design and testing.
–RTO and RPO targets
–Immutable backups
–Cross-region recovery
–Scheduled restore tests
