Cloud and infrastructure

What is cloud and infrastructure management?

Cloud and infrastructure management covers the servers, cloud environments and platforms everything else runs on: keeping them monitored, patched, secure and sized for the business, whether they sit in Azure, AWS or a server room.

For a PE-backed company, infrastructure is the backbone of the deal. Carve-outs, integrations and rapid growth all need systems that can scale quickly, stay secure and keep downtime to a minimum.

The questions it answers for a sponsor

Carve-outs

How quickly can we stand up an environment of our own, off the seller’s systems?

Add-ons

How do an acquisition’s servers and tenants consolidate onto the platform?

Cloud

Which workloads belong in the cloud, and which don’t?

Uptime

Are servers monitored and patched around the clock?

Cost

Are we paying for more cloud, licenses and vendors than we use?

Exit

Will the infrastructure hold up in a buyer’s diligence?

Scope

Our approach

Why our cloud and infrastructure management is different

Most providers keep the servers running and stop there. Compello runs infrastructure as part of the investment, with one senior team, one standard and a plan that adapts as the portfolio grows.

Built for carve-outs and integrations

Fourteen carve-outs delivered end to end. We build standalone environments and consolidate add-ons as part of the deal plan, not as a separate project.

One team, diligence to exit

The senior team that diligences the deal and delivers the 100-day plan stays on to run the infrastructure through the hold.

One standard across the portfolio

Every portfolio company runs on the same platform standard, so the estate gets simpler as it grows and costs can be compared side by side.

FAQ

Cloud and infrastructure questions, answered

Something we haven’t covered? A partner can answer it on a short call.

What does managed cloud and infrastructure include?

24/7 monitoring and patching for Windows and Linux systems, cloud migration and tenant management across Azure, AWS, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, oversight of network devices, and ISP and DNS vendor management.

Azure, AWS, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, as well as on-premises and hybrid environments.

Yes. We build the standalone environment, move the business off the seller’s systems and plan the TSA exit. Fourteen carve-outs have been delivered end to end.

No. Cloud and infrastructure is one of seven managed IT services. Most companies start with a small, defined first step and add only the services that pay off.
