Cloud platforms are powerful but unforgiving: easy to overprovision, easy to misconfigure, and easy to let the bill climb with nothing to show for it. And while everyone has backups, almost nobody knows if they work. Foundry Cloud runs your hosting and infrastructure properly — whichever platform suits your business — with security closed down, costs kept honest and recovery proven before the day you need it.
What we manage for you
| Item | What it actually means for you |
|---|---|
| Compute & hosting | Virtual machines, app platforms and containers on Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or UpCloud — sized to your real workload, patched, monitored and backed up automatically. |
| Databases & storage | Managed databases with automated backups and point-in-time restore; storage with correct permissions, lifecycle policies and encryption. No public-by-default accidents. |
| Identity & access | Least-privilege IAM policies, MFA enforcement, key rotation and access auditing. The settings most cloud breaches exploit, locked down by default. |
| Networking | Virtual networks, subnets, firewalls and security groups configured correctly the first time — not discovered during an incident. |
| Cost governance | Budgets, spend alerts and quarterly reviews. We right-size resources, hunt down idle spend and use reserved pricing where it saves real money. |
| Backup | 3-2-1 architecture (three copies, two media, one off-site) with immutable, ransomware-resistant versions that sync never touches. |
| Disaster recovery | Documented runbooks, defined recovery targets (RTO/RPO) per system, and restores test-performed on a schedule — with the evidence to show you. |
Recovery is the only metric that matters
Backups are monitored daily, and restores are test-performed on a schedule, so a ransomware strike, hardware failure or human error is a bad day — not a closed business. You'll see which systems were restored, when, and how long it took.
