Why Cary Businesses Move to the Cloud

Cloud Infrastructure for Cary’s Growing Companies

From the SAS Campus to Regency Park, Cary businesses need cloud solutions that scale securely.

Eliminate Aging Infrastructure

On-premises servers require capital expenditure, physical space, cooling, and ongoing maintenance. Cloud migration replaces aging hardware with scalable, redundant infrastructure that adapts to your Cary business’s needs — without the refresh cycles, warranty management, and physical security overhead of a server room.

Secure by Design

Cloud environments require different security controls than on-premises infrastructure. Misconfigured cloud services are a leading cause of data breaches. We architect and manage cloud deployments with security built in — IAM policies, encryption, network segmentation, logging, and compliance controls from initial deployment.

Enable Hybrid Work

Many Cary companies now operate hybrid workforces — employees splitting time between Cary offices and home. Cloud services like Microsoft 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, and cloud-hosted line-of-business applications enable seamless productivity from any location with enterprise-grade security controls.

Compliance-Ready Cloud

Cary pharma companies, healthcare practices, and government contractors need cloud environments that satisfy HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, and 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. We configure cloud platforms to meet these standards from day one, with the documentation and audit trails regulators expect.

Local Expertise

Cloud Solutions Designed for Cary’s Business Ecosystem

Cary’s economy is powered by companies that depend on technology. Analytics firms near the SAS Campus crunch petabytes of data. Pharmaceutical companies along Regency Park and the NC-54 corridor manage clinical trial platforms and laboratory information management systems. Financial advisory firms in Weston Parkway handle client portfolio data subject to SEC and FINRA oversight. Professional services firms throughout Cary rely on Microsoft 365 for email, collaboration, and document management.

Many of these organizations are still running critical workloads on aging on-premises servers — facing end-of-life hardware, escalating maintenance costs, and infrastructure that cannot support hybrid work or rapid growth. Others have partially migrated to the cloud but lack the security configurations and compliance controls their industries demand. Both scenarios create risk.

Petronella Technology Group, Inc. provides cloud computing services and cloud solutions that solve both problems. We plan and execute cloud migrations with zero data loss, configure cloud environments with security-first architectures, and provide ongoing managed cloud services that keep your Cary business’s cloud infrastructure optimized, secure, and compliant.

Our cloud expertise spans Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. Whether you need to migrate a file server to SharePoint, move an on-premises database to Azure SQL, deploy virtual desktops for a hybrid workforce, or architect a multi-region cloud environment for a SaaS product, our team handles the complexity so your Cary business can focus on growth.

What We Deliver

Cloud Services for Cary Businesses

End-to-end cloud solutions from migration planning to ongoing management.

Cloud Migration Planning & Execution

We assess your current Cary IT environment, identify migration candidates, design the target cloud architecture, plan the migration sequence, and execute with rigorous testing at each stage. Our methodology minimizes disruption — most Cary businesses experience zero downtime during migration.

Includes: Infrastructure assessment, application compatibility analysis, cloud architecture design, data migration, DNS cutover, user acceptance testing, and post-migration optimization.

Microsoft 365 Deployment & Management

Microsoft 365 is the productivity backbone for most Cary businesses. We deploy, configure, and manage the entire M365 suite — Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Intune, Entra ID (Azure AD), and Defender for Office 365. Security configuration includes conditional access policies, MFA enforcement, data loss prevention, sensitivity labels, and retention policies.

For Cary healthcare organizations, we configure M365 for HIPAA compliance with BAA-covered licensing tiers, audit logging, and encryption controls.

Cloud Security & Compliance

We assess and harden cloud deployments against CIS Benchmarks, NIST guidelines, and your applicable compliance frameworks. For AWS, we review IAM policies, S3 bucket configurations, VPC architecture, CloudTrail logging, and KMS encryption. For Azure, we evaluate Entra ID security, network security groups, Key Vault usage, and diagnostic settings.

Cloud security is not a one-time event — we continuously monitor configurations, alert on drift from security baselines, and remediate issues before they become vulnerabilities. For Cary businesses subject to compliance audits, we maintain documentation that demonstrates cloud security controls meet framework requirements.

Cloud Backup & Disaster Recovery

Microsoft 365 and cloud platforms do not provide comprehensive backup by default. We deploy cloud-to-cloud backup solutions that protect Exchange mailboxes, SharePoint sites, OneDrive files, and Teams data with point-in-time recovery. For Azure and AWS workloads, we implement automated backup policies with geographic redundancy.

Disaster recovery solutions can spin up your entire Cary office’s cloud environment in a secondary region within hours, meeting the recovery time objectives that pharma, healthcare, and financial services firms require.

Hybrid Cloud & Multi-Cloud Management

Many Cary businesses operate hybrid environments — some workloads in the cloud, others on-premises due to latency requirements, legacy application dependencies, or regulatory constraints. We manage the entire stack, ensuring connectivity, security, and performance across cloud and on-premises systems.

For Cary organizations using multiple cloud providers, we implement unified monitoring, consistent security policies, and centralized identity management to eliminate the complexity that multi-cloud environments typically create.

Cloud Cost Optimization

Cloud spending can spiral without proper governance. We analyze your cloud utilization, identify overprovisioned resources, recommend reserved instance commitments, and implement cost allocation tagging so your Cary business knows exactly where every cloud dollar goes.

For Cary tech startups managing burn rates and pharma companies controlling project budgets, our cost optimization services typically reduce cloud spending by 20 to 40 percent without impacting performance.

Our Approach

How We Deliver Cloud Services for Cary

A structured methodology that ensures secure, compliant, and cost-effective cloud outcomes.

1

Cloud Readiness Assessment

We inventory your Cary IT environment, assess application compatibility, evaluate bandwidth requirements, identify compliance constraints, and design a migration strategy that addresses your business priorities and risk tolerance.

2

Architecture & Security Design

We design your cloud architecture with security, compliance, and performance requirements built in from the start. Network topology, IAM structure, encryption strategy, logging, and backup policies are documented and validated before any migration begins.

3

Migration & Validation

We execute the migration in phases, testing each workload thoroughly before cutover. Data integrity is verified at every stage. Users are trained on new cloud workflows. DNS, email routing, and application connections are validated before decommissioning old systems.

4

Managed Cloud Operations

Post-migration, we monitor, manage, and optimize your cloud environment continuously. Performance monitoring, security configuration management, cost optimization, backup verification, and compliance documentation are all included in our managed cloud services.
