Well-Architected Review

Improve the performance, reliability, security, operational excellence, and cost efficiency of your Azure cloud.

Optimise your Microsoft Azure environment.

For organisations that have migrated to Microsoft Azure but wish to examine their workloads in terms of reliability, cost management, operational excellence, security and performance efficiency, the Azure Well-Architected Review provides actionable insights that can improve the health and optimisation of their Azure estates.

Your Cloud Challenges

Here are some of the key cloud challenges we hear from organisations.

Lack of insights

Organisations struggle to gain insights into the status of their Azure environments.

Adhere to industry best practices

Many organisations lack the knowledge they need to ensure they align to industry best practices.

Roadmap for continuous improvement

It can be challenging to build the comprehensive roadmap your organisation needs to drive continuous improvement.

Achieve cost savings

Achieving cost savings is a key driver for many organisations – but they can struggle to establish where they can make efficiencies.

Introducing Well-Architected Review from Six Degrees

Delivered by a highly accredited Microsoft Azure Expert MSP.

Once you have completed your migration to the cloud, the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Review workshop enables our secure cloud experts to review the configuration of your Azure services. The workshop identifies areas for improving performance, reliability, security, operational excellence, and cost efficiency.

Features of Well-Architected Review from Six Degrees

The Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Review framework consists of five pillars of architectural excellence.

Performance Efficiency

We deliver insights into your options for improving the performance of applications by scaling appropriately, moving to PaaS services, and ultimately by implementing automation where possible.

Cyber Security

We focus on cyber security throughout the entire lifecycle of an application, from design and implementation to deployment and continuous operation.

Cost Optimisation

We focus continually on generating incremental value, focusing on your ROI by applying the principles of ‘Build-Measure-Learn’ to accelerate your time to market while avoiding capital-intensive solutions.

Operational Excellence

Operational excellence covers the operations and processes that keep an application running in production. Deployments must be reliable and predictable. We automate deployments to reduce the chance of human error. Fast and routine deployment processes won’t slow down the release of new features or bug fixes, and it is equally important that you must roll back or roll forward quickly if an update has problems.

Resiliency

The Well-Architected Review guides us in architecting resiliency into your application framework, which ensures your workloads are available and can recover from failures at any scale. Designing and building for reliability through the Well-Architected Review ensures a highly available architecture that can recover from failures such as data loss, major downtime, or ransomware incidents.
