01
Cloud Strategy & Assessment
Assess workloads, applications, infrastructure, security requirements and costs before recommending a cloud approach.
Cloud Services
Choose the right cloud strategy.
GEI helps organizations assess, plan, implement and support cloud environments that align with their business needs, security requirements and technology goals.
Cloud Strategy & Support
Assess the environment. Choose the right approach. Implement with purpose. Support what comes next.
Our Cloud Approach
GEI helps organizations choose the right cloud strategy — not simply move everything to one cloud provider.
Cloud decisions should reflect the organization's workloads, applications, infrastructure, security requirements, operational needs and costs. GEI can help assess the environment and determine an appropriate cloud, hybrid or multi-cloud approach before implementation.
Cloud Strategy
Start with assessment before migration.
A cloud strategy should be based on the actual needs of the organization, not simply on where technology is being moved.
02
Cloud Migration
Support discovery, assessment, architecture, migration, testing and post-migration optimization.
03
Hybrid Cloud
Integrate and support on-premises infrastructure with cloud services where a hybrid environment makes sense.
Cloud Platforms
Cloud services aligned to your environment.
GEI can support cloud environments based on the organization's requirements, existing technology and business objectives.

03
Cloud Backup & Disaster Recovery
Protection and recovery planning for cloud workloads and hybrid environments.
04
Cloud Monitoring & Management
Performance, availability, capacity and operational monitoring for supported cloud environments.
05
Cloud Cost Optimization
Review resource sizing, unused resources, storage, licensing, backup costs and ongoing cloud spend.
06
Ongoing Support
Continue improving and supporting the technology environment as business and operational requirements change.
Cloud Decisions
The right cloud answer depends on the business.
GEI's approach considers the environment before recommending a technology direction.
Workload Requirements
Understand applications, infrastructure and workload needs.
Security Requirements
Consider identity, access, protection and security configuration.
Cost Considerations
Consider ongoing infrastructure, licensing, storage and backup costs.
Existing Infrastructure
Account for on-premises systems and existing technology investments.
Business Objectives
Align technology decisions with what the organization is trying to achieve.
Long-Term Support
Plan for monitoring, optimization and ongoing technology needs.
Our Approach
From understanding the environment to ongoing support.
Cloud decisions should stay connected to workloads, security requirements, costs and business needs.
01
Understand
Understand the organization, workloads, applications, infrastructure and business requirements.
02
Assess
Review the current environment, security requirements, costs and appropriate cloud options.
03
Implement
Apply the appropriate cloud, hybrid or multi-cloud approach and support migration or deployment.
04
Support
Continue monitoring, managing and improving the environment as requirements evolve.
