Cloud Architecture 

More than 50 architectures a year go through our review, most of them designed by us and built and operated by the same teams. Landing zones, target architectures and multi-cloud strategies for regulated, business-critical systems, including hybrid setups with your own data centres and fully air-gapped environments.

What exactly is Cloud Architecture?

The decisions everything else inherits: how tenants are isolated, where identity lives, how a change reaches production, what an auditor can trace, what a workload costs to run, and what happens when a provider fails or a contract ends.

We know which of these are expensive to reverse because we run the platforms we design. The architect who draws it sits on the same team as the engineers who build it and the CloudOps team that operates it.

Architecture review based on production experience

We review 50+ target architectures a year against patterns proven under load, audit and regulation. You get prioritised findings, a remediation roadmap and a TCO model.

Multi-cloud and hybrid where it matters

We combine public cloud and on-premises where latency, regulation or data require it, with consistent identity, networking and operations across both. Air-gapped environments where required.

Landing zones and governance as code

Network, identity, policy, logging and cost controls delivered as code, with compliance built in as guardrails. Ownership across platform, application, security and CloudOps is defined from day one.

Benefits of an iits Cloud Architecture Team

  • We operate what we designOur CloudOps team runs the platforms our architects draw. For Telekom that meant 50 % lower infrastructure cost at 99.98 % availability.
  • Highly regulated is our defaultBSI C5 for a hospital group, customs and GDPR audits for e-commerce logistics, financial regulation for an institutional trading platform. Air-gapped where required.
  • Hybrid at scaleWe have combined public cloud with customers' own data centres for critical workloads, with one identity, one network model and one operating team across both.
  • Platform choice from experienceProduction platforms on T Cloud Public, STACKIT, Azure, GCP and AWS. We can tell you what each one costs and where it falls short.
  • Built to be handed overWe set up your platform and development teams alongside the architecture, so it runs without us when you want it to.

How an architecture takes shape with us

  1. Step 01

    Review

    Landscape, compliance scope, cost baseline. Findings ranked by the failures we have seen in comparable architectures.

  2. Step 02

    Target architecture and landing zone

    Tenancy, identity, network, guardrails, observability, provisioned as code. Reviewed with your security team before a workload lands.

  3. Step 03

    Reference implementation

    One real workload end to end: pipeline, policy enforcement, monitoring, runbook. Proves the design under production conditions.

  4. Step 04

    Scale out and hand over

    Remaining workloads follow the same path. Your team runs it, or KumoOps does.

iits‑consulting helped us build a robust and flexible cloud on the OpenTelekomCloud. They possess strong cloud‑native expertise and utilize modern technologies. The workshop was clear and practical, and the subsequent consulting guided us step by step. They provided highly experienced consultants who were genuinely committed to helping us and sought the best solutions for our challenges. We highly recommend iits‑consulting for training, consulting, and a robust cloud solution.

What we design for.

A cloud platform is more than Kubernetes and Terraform. We design the controls, operating model and failure boundaries that determine whether it still works under load, during an audit and when something goes wrong.
