Enterprise Azure. Without the enterprise overhead.

Microsoft Azure

As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, Cloud2 carries designations across Infrastructure, Digital & App Innovation, Security, and Data & AI. The four pillars most Azure enterprise customers need to get right. These designations require proven delivery, certified engineers, and validated customer success. We've earned them, and we maintain them. Each year.

What We Deliver

Azure Services We Deliver

Landing zones to Copilot. App modernization to incident response. Here's what Cloud2 actually does on Azure.

Azure Landing Zones & Governance

Management groups, policy, Blueprints, and Defender for Cloud from day one. We build Azure environments that scale with your organization and stay governable as complexity grows.

Learn more

Application Modernization

Containerizing legacy apps, migrating to AKS, adopting Azure App Service and Functions. We modernize workloads without rewriting the world. And we know when to stop.

Learn more

Microsoft Security Stack

Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Endpoint, Identity, and Microsoft Sentinel SIEM. We operate the full security stack. Not just licensing it but tuning, monitoring, and responding.

Learn more

Data & AI on Azure

Azure Synapse, Fabric, Databricks, and Azure OpenAI. We design data platforms that move data from raw to insight. And increasingly, from insight to AI-powered action.

Learn more

Hybrid & Multi-Cloud

Azure Arc, Azure Stack, and integrations with AWS and Google Cloud. Many enterprises are already hybrid. We make it intentional rather than accidental.

Learn more

Managed Azure Operations

Ongoing operations: monitoring, patching, cost optimization, security posture management. We keep your Azure environment healthy so your team can focus on what runs on top of it.

Why Cloud2

Microsoft Partner Since Before It Was Cool

  • Solutions Partner designations require Microsoft to validate your customer outcomes, not just your exam count. We've passed that bar across four domains.

  • We operate Azure for enterprises that have outgrown basic managed services. Governance at scale, security operations, and cost management. That's the day job.

  • We work with the full Microsoft stack. Azure, M365, Defender, Sentinel, Intune. And we integrate them. Most Azure partners stop at IaaS. We don't.

  • Our engineers hold Azure certifications from AZ-104 through Solutions Architect Expert. Real certifications, kept current.

  • We'll tell you when something in the Microsoft portfolio isn't the right tool. That's more valuable than a partner who sells you everything with a Microsoft logo.
