What We Do in Azure Infrastructure
Safari Micro designs and deploys Azure infrastructure with governance built in from the start. We use Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Azure Landing Zone architecture to ensure your cloud environment is secure, compliant, and operationally sustainable — not just functional.
Azure Landing Zone Design
Governance-ready Azure environment with management groups, policies, and network architecture.
Cloud Governance Framework
Azure Policy, RBAC, and compliance controls aligned to your security and regulatory requirements.
Network Architecture
Hub-spoke networking, VPN/ExpressRoute connectivity, and network security group configuration.
Infrastructure Migration
Lift-and-shift and modernization migrations from on-premises to Azure with minimal downtime.
Cost Management & Optimization
Azure cost governance, budgets, alerts, and optimization recommendations.
Operational Documentation
Complete runbooks, architecture diagrams, and operational procedures for your Azure environment.
Azure Infrastructure Assessment
We'll evaluate your current infrastructure, cloud readiness, and governance requirements to design an Azure landing zone and migration roadmap.
Format
Remote discovery
Effort
60–90 minutes

What You Walk Away With
Azure Architecture Diagram
A detailed visual diagram of your Azure environment covering management group hierarchy, subscription layout, virtual network topology, hub-spoke connectivity, and resource group structure. Produced in Visio-compatible format and updated to reflect the final deployed state — not the initial design.
Landing Zone Design Document
Written documentation of your Azure landing zone design including management group hierarchy rationale, subscription design decisions, naming convention standards, tagging taxonomy, and the policy framework applied at each management group level. Includes a decision log explaining why each design choice was made.
Azure Policy Assignment Record
A complete record of every Azure Policy and Initiative assigned in your environment, including the policy definition, assignment scope, enforcement mode, and the compliance rationale. Includes exception procedures for workloads that require policy exemptions and the process for requesting and documenting those exemptions.
Network Architecture Document
Documentation of your hub-spoke network design covering virtual network address spaces, subnet design, Network Security Group rules, Azure Firewall or third-party firewall configuration, ExpressRoute or VPN connectivity, and DNS configuration. Includes a network traffic flow diagram for key workload paths.
Cost Management Configuration Record
Documentation of budget configurations, alert thresholds, cost allocation tags, and the Reserved Instance or Savings Plan recommendations implemented. Includes a baseline cost report showing the projected monthly spend by workload category and the optimization actions taken during the engagement.
Azure Admin Operations Guide
Day-to-day Azure administration procedures covering resource provisioning, policy compliance remediation, cost review procedures, backup and recovery operations, and escalation paths for infrastructure incidents. Includes a monthly operations checklist your team can use to maintain the environment between advisory engagements.
Azure Infrastructure Outcomes
View All Case StudiesNutanix AHV — Hyperconverged Infrastructure
Challenge
Organization needed to modernize aging virtual infrastructure and reduce hypervisor licensing costs by migrating from VMware to Nutanix AHV
Result
Nutanix AHV hyperconverged infrastructure deployed, VMware licensing eliminated, and virtual machines migrated with improved performance and reduced operational overhead.
Network Security — Palo Alto Firewall
Challenge
Public safety organization needed to modernize network security with enterprise-grade firewall protection across headquarters and branch locations
Result
Palo Alto HA firewall pair deployed at HQ plus two branch firewalls, with security policies, VPN tunnels, and centralized Panorama management configured.
Branch Office Infrastructure Modernization
Challenge
Distributed operations organization needed to modernize infrastructure at a regional office by deploying a new VMware host, supporting a Windows File Server VM, and integrating Azure File Sync to align local file services with a cloud-connected storage architecture.
Result
VMware host installed and configured, Windows File Server VM built, Azure File Sync agent configured and connected to the organization's Azure sync architecture — delivering a hybrid infrastructure model combining local virtualization with Azure-connected file services.
File Services Modernization & M365 Migration
Challenge
Organization relied on a physical Windows file share server for business-critical storage. Azure AD Connect also needed to be migrated to a newer Windows Server instance — requiring careful coordination to preserve access and maintain synchronization continuity.
Result
Three coordinated workstreams delivered: physical file server converted to Hyper-V VM via Disk2VHD, file share content migrated to SharePoint Online with permissions restructured and users trained, and Azure AD Connect migrated to newer Windows Server with synchronization continuity maintained.
