Hybrid Cloud

The right home for every system you run

Some systems belong in the cloud and some work better on-site. We modernize your on-site servers, connect them securely to the cloud, and manage the whole environment as one.

The Honest Answer

Not everything belongs in the cloud

Moving every system to the cloud can raise costs or slow down the work that matters most.

Equipment on the floor

Machines, production systems, and local devices often need servers close by to run reliably.

Large files used daily

Design, video, and imaging files can be painfully slow when every open happens over the internet.

Costs that don't add up

For some always-on workloads, long-term cloud costs outweigh the benefit of moving.

What's Included

On-site and cloud, working together

We design, build, and manage both sides of your environment.

Server modernization

Aging servers replaced or consolidated onto modern, reliable hardware sized for your needs.

Virtualization

Multiple servers run as virtual machines on fewer hosts, making them easier to back up and recover.

Secure connectivity

Encrypted links connect your offices to the cloud so systems work together as one network.

Cloud for the right workloads

Email, files, and remote access moved to the cloud where it makes sense.

Cloud backup for on-site systems

On-site servers backed up off-site so you can recover after a hardware failure or disaster.

One managed environment

We monitor and manage on-site and cloud systems together, with one point of contact.

How It Works

Building a balanced environment

We decide where each system belongs based on cost, performance, and how your team works.

01

Assess

We inventory your servers and applications and compare the multi-year cost of each option.

02

Design

We plan which systems stay on-site, which move to the cloud, and how they connect.

03

Build

We modernize on-site servers, set up cloud services, and connect everything securely.

04

Manage

We monitor, patch, and back up the whole environment as part of your monthly service.

Why Marquis

Advice based on numbers, not a sales pitch

We have deep experience with on-site servers and virtualization as well as the cloud, so we recommend what fits rather than what is trendy.

Our assessment compares the true multi-year cost of each option side by side.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is hybrid cloud?

Hybrid cloud means some of your systems run in the cloud and some run on servers at your office, connected so they work together. It lets each system live where it performs best and costs the least.

When does keeping a server on-site make sense?

Common reasons include shop-floor equipment, very large files used all day, older applications that run poorly over the internet, and locations with unreliable internet.

Can you modernize our existing servers?

Yes. We replace or consolidate aging hardware, virtualize servers so they are easier to manage and recover, and back them up off-site.

Is a hybrid setup harder to manage?

Not for you. We monitor and manage both sides together, so your team has one point of contact for everything.
