Infrastructure

IT infrastructure services include the setup, management, and maintenance of core IT systems such as servers, networks, cloud environments, data storage, and security solutions that support business applications and operations.

Reliable infrastructure ensures your systems run smoothly, securely, and without downtime. It supports your digital operations, enhances performance, and protects your data — all of which are critical to business continuity and growth.

On-premise infrastructure is hosted locally on your own servers, giving you full control. Cloud infrastructure is hosted remotely by providers like AWS or Azure, offering flexibility, scalability, and reduced maintenance responsibility.

Infrastructure services at Rare Crew are scoped and priced based on the specific engagement. A cloud migration project for a mid-size enterprise typically ranges from €40,000 to €150,000 depending on the number of workloads, migration complexity, and post-migration support required. Ongoing managed infrastructure services are priced as monthly retainers based on environment size, SLA requirements, and support scope. We provide a detailed written estimate after an initial infrastructure assessment. As an AWS Partner and Microsoft Solutions Partner, we can also help you optimize your cloud licensing costs — most clients see 20–30% cost reduction within the first 90 days post-migration through right-sizing and reserved instance planning.

Absolutely. We provide complete cloud migration services — from planning and risk analysis to execution and post-migration support — ensuring minimal disruption.

Yes. We implement security best practices including firewalls, access control, data encryption, secure network architecture, and compliance support to keep your infrastructure protected.

Yes. Every infrastructure engagement at Rare Crew begins with an assessment of your current environment before any solution is proposed. We document your existing servers, network, cloud usage, security posture, and compliance requirements, then design an architecture that fits your specific goals. We work across Azure and AWS (certified partner on both), on-premise Windows Server and Linux environments, Hyper-V virtualization, Fortinet firewall and security infrastructure, and hybrid setups combining cloud and on-premise components. Solutions are designed for your current needs with a documented growth path — not over-engineered from day one.

Rare Crew's cloud migration service covers the full lifecycle: (1) Assessment — infrastructure audit, application inventory, dependency mapping, and migration readiness scoring. (2) Planning — migration strategy per workload using the 6R framework (rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain), timeline, rollback procedures, and security architecture design. (3) Execution — phased migration in waves, starting with lower-risk workloads, with testing and validation at each stage. (4) Post-migration — cost optimization review, security posture assessment, monitoring setup, and team handover. We support migrations to Azure and AWS, and manage hybrid environments where some workloads remain on-premise.

Yes. Rare Crew offers post-migration and ongoing managed infrastructure services covering: 24/7 monitoring and alerting, patch management, performance optimization, cost review and right-sizing, security hardening and compliance audits, and incident response on SLA-defined terms. Many clients transition from a migration project to a long-term managed services arrangement — we continue to operate and improve the environment we helped build. Monthly cost optimization reviews typically identify 20–30% savings in the first 90 days post-migration. Support packages are structured as monthly retainers with defined response time
