Cloud Solutions Auckland

The cloud is no longer optional for Auckland businesses. Whether you are migrating from aging on-premises servers, looking to improve collaboration with Microsoft 365, or building scalable infrastructure on Azure, moving to the cloud offers real advantages: lower capital costs, better security, anywhere access, and the ability to scale up or down as your business needs change.

But cloud is not a magic solution. Poorly planned migrations cause downtime. Misconfigured environments create security vulnerabilities. Unmanaged cloud spending spirals out of control. The difference between cloud success and cloud frustration comes down to having the right partner guiding the strategy, executing the migration, and managing the environment after go-live.

Belton IT Nexus has been a Microsoft Partner since 2004, and cloud solutions are at the core of what we do for Auckland businesses. We design Azure environments, migrate workloads from on-premises to cloud, manage Microsoft 365 tenants, configure hybrid cloud setups, and provide ongoing management so your cloud investment continues to deliver value long after the initial migration.

We are not a sales-driven consultancy that hands you a plan and walks away. We implement, manage, and support your cloud environment as part of our managed IT services. Your team calls us when they have questions about Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, or Azure. We handle the licensing, the security configuration, the backup, and the optimisation. One team, one relationship, and a deep understanding of your business.

Cloud Services

What we deliver

Microsoft 365

Full Microsoft 365 deployment and management. Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and the full productivity suite. We handle licensing, user provisioning, security policies, and ongoing administration so your team can focus on work.

Azure Infrastructure

Virtual machines, networking, storage, and application hosting on Microsoft Azure. We design right-sized environments that match your workload, configure security, and manage costs so you are not paying for resources you do not need.

Cloud Migration

Planned, tested, and executed migrations from on-premises to cloud. Whether it is email, file servers, applications, or entire infrastructure, we manage the transition to minimise downtime and eliminate data loss.

Hybrid Cloud

Not everything needs to be in the cloud. We design hybrid environments that keep some workloads on-premises while moving others to Azure or Microsoft 365, connected securely with site-to-site VPN or Azure ExpressRoute.

Virtual Desktops

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 solutions for businesses that need secure, manageable desktop environments accessible from any device, anywhere. Ideal for remote teams and BYOD policies.

Ongoing Management

Cloud is not set-and-forget. We monitor performance, manage security, optimise costs, apply updates, and provide support for your cloud environment as part of our managed IT services.

Our Approach

How we approach cloud projects

1. Assess

We audit your current environment, understand your business requirements, and identify which workloads should move to cloud, which should stay on-premises, and which need a hybrid approach.

2. Design

We architect a cloud solution that fits your needs and budget. Right-sized resources, proper security configuration, networking, and a clear cost model so there are no surprises.

3. Migrate

We execute the migration on a planned schedule, testing at every stage. Most migrations happen outside business hours to minimise disruption. We do not cut over until everything is verified.

4. Manage

After go-live, we manage your cloud environment as part of our ongoing IT services. Monitoring, security, cost optimisation, updates, and user support, all covered.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What cloud platforms do you work with?

We specialise in the Microsoft cloud ecosystem: Microsoft Azure for infrastructure and platform services, and Microsoft 365 for productivity and collaboration. As a certified Microsoft Partner since 2004, we have deep expertise across the entire Microsoft stack. We also integrate with other cloud services where it makes sense for your business.

How long does a cloud migration take?

Migration timelines depend on your current environment and the scope of the move. A straightforward email migration to Microsoft 365 can be completed in days. A full infrastructure migration to Azure, including servers, applications, and data, typically takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on complexity. We plan every migration carefully to minimise disruption to your business.

Is the cloud more secure than on-premises servers?

When configured correctly, cloud environments like Azure and Microsoft 365 offer security capabilities that most on-premises setups cannot match: built-in encryption, advanced threat protection, geo-redundant data centres, automatic patching, and compliance certifications. The key is proper configuration and ongoing management, which is where we add value.

What happens to our data if we move to the cloud?

Your data remains your data. Microsoft's Azure and 365 data centres in the Australia East region (Sydney) provide local data residency. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up redundantly, and protected by Microsoft's enterprise security. We also implement additional backup solutions to ensure you have independent recovery capability.
