The Problem: Accidental Architecture
Most Azure environments are not designed; they evolve through a series of “temporary” fixes that become permanent liabilities. These fragmented best guesses lead to unmanaged costs, invisible security gaps, and single points of failure that threaten business continuity.
The Architecture Integrity Review is a surgical diagnostic intervention. It is designed to look past the surface level and identify the structural bottlenecks that threaten your stability. IronByte applies 20 years of infrastructure depth to uncover the “skeletons in the closet” and provide the definitive roadmap to architectural integrity.
The Technical Audit Scope
This is a deep-tier analysis of your Cloud and Hybrid estate. IronByte identifies the gap between your current architecture and enterprise-grade standards to establish a baseline for stability.
- Connectivity & Latency: Analysis of network design and routing configurations to identify performance bottlenecks and single points of failure.
- Identity & Governance: Assessment of governance frameworks to identify identity-based risks and unauthorized access paths.
- Resource & Cost Efficiency: Identification of misconfigured tiers and unmanaged resources that impact your budget without adding operational value.
- Resilience & Recovery: Evaluation of workload durability against regional or logical outages to determine your actual recovery posture.
Execution Phases
- Discovery & Technical Analysis: IronByte looks past the documentation to see how the environment actually behaves in production. I identify the undocumented workarounds and legacy technical debt that impact your long-term stability.
- Gap Analysis: Your current architecture is benchmarked against the Microsoft Well-Architected Framework and two decades of infrastructure experience. This phase provides the technical clarity required to understand exactly where the environment deviates from industry standards.
- The Remediation Roadmap: IronByte delivers a prioritized, phased backlog. This technical specification provides a clear path forward, outlining exactly what needs to be resolved, the execution order, and the architectural rationale for each recommendation.
The Work Product: What You Receive
- Architectural Integrity Report: A blunt, high-authority assessment of your current technical risks and vulnerabilities.
- Prioritized Remediation Roadmap: A categorized backlog of technical tasks required to stabilize and harden the environment.
- Cost Optimization Analysis: Identified actions and specific tier-recommendations to reduce unmanaged cloud spend.
- Governance Specifications: A set of recommended policies and guardrails to prevent the recurrence of architectural debt.
Engagement Parameters
To ensure total predictability, IronByte operates on a Fixed-Fee Engagement model. No hourly billing, no hidden administrative costs, just a defined investment for a defined technical outcome.
- Timeline: Typically 10–15 business days from discovery to final delivery.
- Execution: 100% senior-level execution (No junior shadow-staffing).
- Investment: Fixed-fee quote provided following a Technical Briefing.
- Prerequisites: Read-only access to Azure Tenant and key architectural stakeholders.
The Outcome: Strategic Clarity
By the end of this review, you gain the architectural clarity required to stabilize your environment. You move from “best-guess” management to a controlled, high-performance operation with a defined blueprint for success.
Stop managing technical debt. Get the definitive roadmap to a foundation that lasts.
Both options go directly to tech personnel; no sales funnel, no account managers.
