mini case study
A multi-site UK construction firm moves its servers into Microsoft Azure
Pacalis Construction came to ATS with an ageing on-premise server estate spread across multiple sites, slow remote access for site teams, and rising maintenance costs. The business needed cloud-grade reliability without locking itself into a single office location.
ATS designed and delivered an Azure-based architecture, migrating servers and file workloads into Microsoft data centres, layering on identity-led security, and connecting every site over fast, resilient connections. The result: faster systems, predictable monthly costs, and an environment that scales as the business takes on new projects.

FAQ
Common questions about
Microsoft Azure
Yes, security and privacy are critical to Azure. Microsoft offers the most comprehensive set of compliance certifications of any cloud provider, with strong defaults around identity, encryption and threat detection. ATS layers additional security baselines and Cyber Essentials-aligned controls on top.
ATS uses Azure to deploy, manage and support customers’ existing systems and to deliver ready-made or custom solutions. Whether you need cloud servers, hybrid working, virtual desktops or a platform to build apps on, Azure provides the building blocks, and we make sure they’re assembled properly.
No. Azure fully supports open-source technologies including Linux, PostgreSQL, Python, Node.js and Kubernetes. You can run almost any workload using your preferred operating system, language and data source.
Azure is consumption-based, so you only pay for what you use, with no upfront hardware costs. Combined with the Azure Hybrid Benefit, reservations and right-sizing, ATS routinely reduces total infrastructure spend versus traditional on-premise estates.
We start with a free cloud review of your current environment, then design a target architecture and migration plan. Workloads are moved in carefully sequenced waves, usually with minimal or no downtime, and tested before cut-over.
Yes. Many ATS clients run a hybrid setup, some workloads on-premise, others in Azure, connected via VPN or ExpressRoute. Azure Arc lets you manage on-premise and cloud resources from a single control plane.
Yes. Azure is delivered as a managed service: design, deployment, security, cost optimisation, monitoring and ongoing support from our UK helpdesk, under one monthly fee.
ATS deploys most UK client workloads into Microsoft’s UK data centre regions for data residency. Where it makes sense for resilience, secondary copies can be replicated to other UK regions.
