Cloud Maintenance Perth

Nano Solutions manages cloud infrastructure for Perth organisations across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, DigitalOcean, and hybrid/on-premises environments — providing 24/7 monitoring, automated patching, performance tuning, and FinOps cost optimisation. Established 2013, WA Government CUAICTS2021 panel supplier (Contractor #225). We maintain high-traffic platforms including SLSA's national BeachSafe system, Operations App, and Results system, supporting tens of thousands of lifesavers and millions of public-facing visits each year.

Keeping Your Cloud Operations Smooth, Secure, and Efficient

At Nano Solutions Pty Ltd, we understand the critical importance of maintaining a robust, efficient, and uninterrupted cloud infrastructure. The shift to cloud has changed how Australian businesses operate — but it has not removed the need for hands-on engineering. Without active management, cloud bills creep, configurations drift, security postures degrade, and tomorrow's outage is already being baked in by today's neglected alert. Our Cloud Maintenance Services keep your environment running at peak performance, with predictable spend, minimal downtime, and a clear engineering owner you can call on at 2 a.m.

We work as an extension of your team — not a ticket queue. The same senior engineers who scoped your environment monitor it, patch it, optimise it, and respond to incidents. That continuity is what stops an "everything is fine" production system from quietly becoming "nothing is fine" three months later.

Key Features of Our Cloud Maintenance Services

• 24/7 Monitoring & Incident Response: Real-time alerting via Datadog, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, or your existing observability stack. Critical incidents trigger an on-call engineer with a 15-minute response SLA — not a help-desk auto-reply.
• Performance Optimisation: Continuous tuning of compute, database, caching, and network layers. We instrument applications with APM (Application Performance Monitoring) and chase latency back to its source — slow queries, N+1 patterns, missing indexes, cold starts, or saturated network paths.
• FinOps Cost Management: Right-sizing, reserved-instance / savings-plan strategy, spot-fleet adoption, idle-resource cleanup, and storage-tier optimisation. Most environments we inherit have 20–40% of monthly spend recoverable within the first quarter.
• Patching & Vulnerability Management: Automated OS and runtime patching with maintenance-window control. CVE tracking against your dependency tree (Snyk, Dependabot, GHSA) so high-severity issues are triaged on the day they drop, not the month they drop.
• Backup, DR & Business Continuity: Tested point-in-time recovery, cross-region replication, and documented runbooks. We don't just configure backups — we restore them in scheduled DR drills so your RPO and RTO numbers are real, not aspirational.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep modules under version control with drift detection. Every change is reviewed, peer-approved, and reproducible — no more "click-ops" surprises six months later.
• Security & Compliance Posture: Continuous compliance against the Essential Eight, AWS Well-Architected Framework, Azure Cloud Adoption Framework, and CIS Benchmarks. Logs centralised and retained per your regulatory needs.

Our Process

1. Inherit & Audit (Week 1–2): We document your existing environment — accounts, regions, networks, IAM, compute, storage, observability, runbooks, on-call, and known pain points. The output is a Cloud Health Report with a prioritised action list.
2. Stabilise (Month 1): We address the highest-risk findings first — unencrypted data, public S3/blob exposure, missing MFA, unpatched runtimes, untested backups. The goal is a known-good baseline before optimisation.
3. Optimise (Month 2–3): Right-sizing, reserved capacity, autoscaling rules, caching, query tuning. Most clients see meaningful month-on-month spend reduction by month two while improving response times.
4. Operate (Ongoing): Steady-state managed service — monitoring, patching, incident response, monthly review meetings, and quarterly improvement plans. You get a single point of contact and a senior engineer who actually knows your environment.

Cloud Platforms We Maintain

• Amazon Web Services (AWS): EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, RDS, Aurora, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, IAM, Organizations, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, WAF — managed under Well-Architected Framework principles.
• Microsoft Azure: Virtual Machines, App Service, AKS, Functions, SQL Database, Cosmos DB, Storage, Front Door, Azure AD, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, Key Vault, and Conditional Access.
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP): Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud SQL, Spanner, Cloud Storage, Cloud CDN, Cloud IAM, VPC Service Controls, and Security Command Center.
• DigitalOcean: Droplets, App Platform, Managed Databases, Spaces, Load Balancers, Kubernetes, networking, monitoring, and backups for lean production workloads.
• Multi-Cloud, Private Cloud & Hybrid: Unified observability, identity, and security policies across multiple providers, private cloud, and on-premises infrastructure — including data-sovereignty-aware architectures for regulated workloads.

Industries We Serve

• Government & Public Sector: As a WA Government CUAICTS2021 panel supplier we maintain cloud environments to Australian Government ISM and Essential Eight standards. Government clients benefit from streamlined procurement.
• Community & Safety: Surf Life Saving Australia trusts us to run mission-critical platforms — including BeachSafe (12,000+ beaches), the Operations App, and the Results competition system. These workloads must scale on patrol weekends and survive viral traffic spikes.
• Mining & Resources: Real-time data ingestion from remote sites, OT/IT convergence, and data-sovereignty-aware architectures. We design for intermittent connectivity and audit-grade traceability.
• Healthcare: Patient-data workloads under APP 11 reasonable-steps obligations, including encrypted-at-rest databases, granular IAM, and audit-trail retention.
• SaaS & Technology: Multi-tenant production estates with autoscaling, blue/green deployments, and customer-isolation guarantees that satisfy enterprise procurement security questionnaires.
• Professional Services: Workforce portals, document-management systems, and integration platforms for legal, recruitment, and consulting firms.

Why Choose Nano Solutions for your Cloud Maintenance Needs?

Engineers, Not Ticket-Pushers

Our cloud team is staffed by senior engineers with hands-on experience designing, building, and debugging the platforms we manage. When a P1 lands at 3 a.m., the person on the bridge has actually fixed this class of problem before — they are not reading a script.

Customised Maintenance Plans

Cloud is not one-size-fits-all. A pre-revenue startup running a single ECS cluster needs a very different plan to a regulated multi-region production estate. We tailor monitoring depth, response SLAs, change-window cadence, and reporting to your reality.

Proactive, Not Reactive

We design for prevention — capacity planning ahead of growth, security hardening ahead of audit, cost reviews ahead of bill-shock. Reactive firefighting is the failure mode our process is built to avoid.

Transparency & Reporting

Monthly business reviews include uptime, MTTR, change volume, security posture, cost trend, and the next month's recommended actions. No mystery — you always know what we did, what it cost, and what is next.

Typical Investment

Cloud maintenance is structured as ongoing support with optional one-off optimisation engagements:

• Managed Cloud Maintenance: From $1,500 per month for small AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, or hybrid environments to $8,000+ per month for multi-account production estates with 24/7 monitoring and on-call response.
• Performance Optimisation Engagements: From $4,000 for a focused tuning sprint to $20,000+ for end-to-end cost & performance reviews across multiple workloads.
• Cloud Cost Audits: From $3,000 for a single-account spend review with itemised savings recommendations, typically returning 5–10× ROI in the first year.
• Cloud Migration / Rebuild: Project-priced — typically $25,000–$150,000 depending on workload count, data volume, and zero-downtime requirements.

Pricing depends on the number of cloud accounts, the volume of resources under management, the response-time SLA, and whether infrastructure-as-code, observability, and incident response procedures are already in place.
