DESSS provides cloud consulting services in Dallas for organizations moving to Microsoft Azure or AWS, or trying to get more value from the cloud they already use. We cover strategy, landing zones, migration, cost optimization and ongoing support.
The Dallas-Fort Worth area is a major hub for cloud infrastructure, with Google Cloud’s Dallas region, an AWS Local Zone and many colocation data centers. For local companies, that means more hosting options, and more decisions about which workloads belong where.
We help DFW teams consolidate systems after acquisitions, connect multiple offices to the cloud securely and keep monthly spend predictable. See our main cloud consulting page for the full range of services.
Platforms

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.
Cloud strategy and readiness
Where should a cloud journey start? With an inventory of applications and infrastructure, a view of costs today, and a decision for each workload: rehost, replatform, refactor, replace with SaaS, or keep on-premises.
–Application and server inventory
–Workload-by-workload decisions
–Business case and cost model
–Migration roadmap
Azure and AWS migration
How are workloads moved safely? We migrate in waves, starting with low-risk systems, using native tools such as Azure Migrate and AWS Application Migration Service, with testing and a rollback plan for each wave.
–Wave planning
–Replication and cutover
–Testing and rollback plans
–Post-migration tuning
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
