POWERING SCALABLE
CLOUD SOLUTIONS
8 West partners with AWS to design and implement secure, scalable cloud platforms across regulated and enterprise environments.
AWS provides a comprehensive suite of cloud services spanning compute, storage, networking, databases, analytics, AI/ML, security, and serverless technologies. Its global infrastructure enables organisations to deploy applications with high availability and geographic resilience.
KEY CAPABILITIES
- Elastic scalability - Auto Scaling, serverless services such as AWS Lambda, and container orchestration via ECS and EKS allow workloads to scale dynamically based on demand.
- Global infrastructure footprint - Multiple regions and availability zones provide redundancy and low-latency access across global markets.
- Broad service ecosystem - Over 200 services supporting analytics, AI, IoT, edge computing, and modern application development.
- Security and compliance framework - Encryption at rest and in transit, IAM-based access control, and alignment with major compliance standards. Operates under a well-defined shared responsibility model.
- AI and machine learning integration - Amazon SageMaker, Bedrock, and related services support model training, deployment, and managed generative AI capabilities.
We help organisations implement AWS architectures aligned to operational resilience, cost governance, and regulated data controls.
8 West partners with Google Cloud to support organisations prioritising advanced analytics, AI innovation, and cloud-native transformation.
Google Cloud is recognised for its strength in data engineering, AI platforms, and Kubernetes-native infrastructure.
KEY CAPABILITIES
- Vertex AI platform - Unified tooling for model development, MLOps, and generative AI integration.
- BigQuery analytics engine - Serverless, high-performance data warehousing designed for real-time and large-scale analytics.
- Kubernetes leadership - Google originated Kubernetes and offers managed services through GKE for container orchestration at scale.
- Hybrid and multi-cloud capabilities - Anthos enables workload portability and policy management across cloud and on-prem environments.
- Sustainability leadership - Operates carbon-neutral infrastructure and continues investing in 24/7 carbon-free energy goals.
We design Google Cloud environments that integrate data platforms, AI services, and enterprise systems while maintaining governance and observability.
8 West partners with Microsoft Azure to support organisations modernising infrastructure while maintaining alignment with existing Microsoft ecosystems.
Microsoft Azure delivers enterprise-grade IaaS and PaaS services across compute, networking, data, security, and AI.
KEY CAPABILITIES
- Hybrid cloud capabilities - Azure Arc extends management and governance across on-prem, multi-cloud, and edge environments.
- Identity and security integration - Microsoft Entra ID, Defender, and integrated compliance tooling support secure enterprise operations.
- Deep Microsoft ecosystem alignment - Seamless integration with Microsoft 365, Dynamics, and Power Platform environments.
- Advanced data and AI services - Azure OpenAI Service, Fabric analytics platform, and integrated data services support AI-driven transformation.
- Enterprise compliance focus - Strong alignment with global regulatory frameworks and industry certifications.
We help clients architect Azure environments that support hybrid workloads, legacy modernisation, AI adoption, and secure data governance.
Our Approach
Across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, our role is consistent:
-
Architect cloud environments for resilience and scalability
-
Embed governance and cost management frameworks
-
Align cloud design to regulated industry requirements
-
Integrate AI and data platforms securely
-
Implement observability and operational controls from day one
Cloud is not a destination. It is a continuously evolving operating model.
