Cloud & Platform

Cloud Computing Services and Consulting in Ireland

We are an Irish cloud consulting and engineering company. We help you choose between AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, move your systems onto the one that fits, and run them well. Twenty years of building the systems businesses depend on, from Maynooth, Co. Kildare, for clients across Ireland, the UK and the United States.

Rolled out by our R&D wingBuilt on SaaC, Software as a Capability

Aitina Tech’s R&D wing built and shipped the translation layer that protects your existing codebase: every capability exposed the SaaC way, so the same application deploys to any cloud without a rewrite.

How we solved it

One codebase. Any cloud. No rewrite.

In plain terms: if you ever need to move cloud, or run on two at once, your application does not get rewritten. Our R&D wing built the layer that makes that true, and it runs our own platform today. How it works: the application is written against capability contracts (runtime, store, blob, bus, vault, identity, telemetry), never against a vendor SDK. Below that line sits a cloud-agnostic layer our R&D wing built: one adapter set per provider, policy and guardrails at the boundary, and infrastructure modules for network, identity, data and runtime. The host is declared, not coded: region, size, data class and residency are configuration, so the same artefact goes to a different cloud through the same pipeline.

Host-configurable

The target cloud, region and instance profile are values in an environment declaration, not decisions embedded in code.

One pipeline, many targets

The same build artefact is promoted to whichever host the declaration names. No parallel branch, no second deployment story to maintain.

Policy at the boundary

Residency, retention and least-privilege rules sit in the layer, so they hold however the application calls through and whoever wrote the call.

Adapters, not rewrites

Supporting a new provider means implementing the contracts once. The application above the line does not change, and does not get recompiled to care.

Cloud infrastructure

Public, private and hybrid, and which parts of your estate belong where.

We work across all three models and, more usefully, help you decide which parts of your estate belong where. Larger organisations with regulatory or data-residency constraints usually need a hybrid answer rather than an all-or-nothing move.

Public, private and hybrid

Landing zones, account and subscription structure, networking and identity designed once and inherited by everything that follows, so the estate stays coherent as it grows.

Cloud migration and implementation

Moving applications and data between environments, or from on-premises into the cloud, with a plan for sequencing, cutover and rollback. The objective is a migration your users do not notice.

Cloud migration & modernisation

Cloud security and compliance

Identity and access management, encryption, network segmentation, monitoring and audit trails, configured so the environment stands up to scrutiny and to the regulator, and so an ISO 27001 audit has something to read.

Standards & ISO readiness

Backup and disaster recovery

Backup strategies and recovery procedures with defined recovery objectives, tested rather than assumed, so business continuity is a plan and not a hope.

Cloud platform development

Built for the cloud, not lifted into it.

Cloud-native applications

Applications designed for cloud environments rather than lifted into them: managed services, automated deployment pipelines and infrastructure defined as code, so environments are reproducible and releases are routine.

Integration with your existing systems

Cloud services rarely operate alone. We integrate them with the systems already running your business (CRM, ERP, finance, internal applications) without disrupting the infrastructure you depend on.

API & systems integration

DevOps and automation

Automating deployment, scaling, monitoring and routine operations reduces both the manual effort and the number of ways a release can go wrong.

Cloud data management

Databases, storage and analytics sized and structured for your workload, with attention to what the data actually costs to hold and to query.

Data & knowledge platforms
Platforms we work with

Three clouds, one honest comparison.

The cloud computing providers that matter in Ireland are Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. AWS and Azure both run regions in Ireland, so data can stay in the country; Google Cloud serves Irish customers from its European regions, with London the nearest. Our engineers work across all three, and our own infrastructure runs on AWS. Which one suits you depends on your existing licensing, your team's skills and your workload, not on which one is fashionable. Serverless, containers and managed databases are available on all three; the differences that matter are in identity, networking, data services and how the bill behaves.

Free 1-hour consultation

Bring the bill, the diagram or the migration plan.

An hour with a practising cloud architect, not a sales call. You get a candid read on the approach, the risk and the realistic effort, and a short written summary afterwards that is yours to keep whoever you hire.

  • Which cloud, or which mix, actually fits your licensing, team and workload
  • Where the cost is going and what is recoverable without a redesign
  • Whether the migration order and rollback plan will hold
  • What ISO 27001 or a client audit will ask of the environment
  • No cost, no obligation, no follow-up calls unless you ask
Cloud services for Irish businesses

Cloud consulting, migration and IT infrastructure, from Maynooth, for all of Ireland.

We are not one of the cloud computing providers; those are AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. We are the independent cloud consulting and engineering company in Ireland that helps you choose between them, moves you onto them and keeps what you build there secure, reliable and affordable. Most of our cloud work is done remotely, and we are on site when it matters: workshops, cutovers and the conversations that go better in a room.

Dublin, Kildare and Meath

Based at Maynooth Business Campus, within an hour of Dublin city, Naas, Navan, Trim and the M4 and M50 corridors. Half-day workshops on site are the normal way an engagement starts.

Cloud solutions for SMEs and mid-sized firms

Right-sized cloud environments for companies that have outgrown a single server or a first cloud account: hosting, backup, identity, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace integration and the applications that run the business.

IT infrastructure services

Networks, identity, storage, servers where they still belong and the cloud services that replace the rest, designed as one estate, documented, and handed to your team or your managed-service partner to run.

Cloud migration services

From on-premises, from a hosting provider or from one cloud to another, sequenced so users do not notice, with rollback planned before cutover day.

Cloud migration & modernisation
How we work

Design first, then build, then hand over.

1

Assess

A short, fixed-scope review of what you have: account or subscription structure, security posture, cost breakdown, resilience and delivery pipeline, measured against what your business actually needs rather than against a vendor checklist.

2

Design

The target environment on paper before anything is built: boundaries, identity, networking, data placement and the cost model, with the trade-offs written down so they can be argued with.

3

Deliver

Infrastructure as code in your repositories, changes shipped in small reviewable pieces, with your engineers in the pull requests rather than watching from outside.

4

Hand over

Runbooks, diagrams that match reality, cost dashboards and a named owner on your side. If you would rather we stayed to run it, that is a separate conversation, not the default.

Why Aitina Tech

Architecture first. Everything else follows from that.

Architecture first

We design the environment before building it. Cloud estates that grow without a plan are the ones that become expensive and fragile.

Cost as a design constraint

Cloud spend is easy to lose control of. We treat cost efficiency as part of the architecture, not an afterthought to apologise for later.

Migration without drama

Sequencing, testing and rollback planning are the difference between a migration and an outage.

Ireland-based, international delivery

Aitina Tech is based in Ireland and works with clients in Ireland, the UK and the United States, while supporting projects internationally.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked about cloud work

Which cloud computing providers operate in Ireland, and are you one of them?

The three cloud computing providers most Irish businesses choose between are Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. AWS and Azure each run a region in Ireland; Google Cloud serves Ireland from its European regions. Aitina Tech is not a provider. We are an independent cloud consulting and engineering company: we help you choose between the providers, design and build the environment, migrate what is worth migrating and keep the result secure and affordable. We earn nothing from which provider you pick, and you hold the accounts and own everything in them.

Do you provide cloud services in Dublin, Meath and the rest of Ireland?

Yes. We are based at Maynooth Business Campus in Co. Kildare, on the Meath border and within an hour of Dublin, and we work with businesses across the country. Most cloud work is delivered remotely; workshops, migrations and cutovers are done on site when that is the better way to do them.

Do you offer IT infrastructure services as well as cloud?

Yes. Very few businesses are entirely in the cloud, so we design the estate as a whole: identity, networking, storage and the servers that still earn their place, alongside the cloud services that replace the rest. The aim is one coherent, documented infrastructure rather than two that do not talk to each other.

Which cloud should we choose?

The one your licensing, your team and your workload already point at, in that order. Organisations living in Microsoft 365 usually have a cheaper and easier path on Azure; teams with data and Kubernetes at the centre often do well on Google Cloud; AWS has the broadest service catalogue and is where our own platform runs. We will give you an honest comparison for your case, and we do not earn anything from the answer.

Can you work with our existing cloud provider, reseller or managed service partner?

Yes, routinely. Billing and licensing arrangements are usually best left where they are; we work on the architecture and the engineering. Where a partner's recommendation and ours differ, we will say so plainly and show the reasoning.

Can you reduce our cloud bill without changing the architecture?

Usually some of it: right-sizing, storage tiering, commitment plans and idle resources tend to be worth a meaningful percentage on their own. The larger savings generally need an architectural change, and we will be clear about which is which so you can decide what is worth doing.

Do you handle security and compliance, including ISO 27001?

Security is designed into the environment rather than added afterwards: identity, network segmentation, encryption, logging and audit trails. For organisations working towards ISO 27001 or facing client audits, we also run a readiness review so the environment and the evidence line up before the auditor arrives.

Will our own engineers be able to run it after you leave?

That is the point. We work in your repositories, in review with your team, and the handover includes runbooks, diagrams that match reality and the reasoning behind the decisions. If a design can only be maintained by us, it is the wrong design.

What does the free consultation actually cover?

An hour with a practising architect on the problem you bring: a bill nobody can explain, a migration you are about to commit to, an environment that has grown without a plan. You leave with a candid read on the approach and a short written summary, whether or not you ever work with us.
