Cloud and Microsoft 365
The cloud isn't cheaper on its own - it's cheaper when you pay only for licenses you actually use. We start with a review of what you have, not with a migration.
Where we start - and where we don’t
Not with a migration. First a review: how many licenses are bought, how many are actually used, how many accounts belong to people who no longer work there, and whether anyone has two-factor authentication turned on.
That review usually pays for itself immediately. Unused licenses and former employees’ accounts are a cost the company pays month after month without knowing it - and it’s also a security hole, since a leaked password for an inactive account works just as well as for an active one.
What the service covers
Microsoft 365
- administration of users, permissions and licenses
- two-factor authentication rollout
- optional: requirements analysis, migration and deployment from scratch
- backup of 365 content with Cube Backup
Hetzner and Azure
- administration and hardening of the access account
- ordering and decommissioning servers and cloud services
- network configuration within the platform
- server monitoring and incident response
Website and mail hosting
- domain registration, transfer and cancellation
- DNS configuration for the website and mail
- mailboxes through the hosting panel
- backup of website files and database
- SSL certificate management and expiry monitoring
What we don’t do
We don’t support Oracle Cloud. We don’t migrate to the cloud just to migrate - if the numbers work against you, we’ll say so and show the figures. Sometimes the sensible move is the other direction; we have a separate service for that - cloud exit.
When the cloud doesn’t pay off
We’ll say this plainly, because it’s rarely said by a company that makes money on migrations: under steady, high load, your own server can be several times cheaper than the cloud equivalent. The cloud wins with variable demand, a distributed team, and anywhere you don’t want to hold hardware.
We run the numbers both ways and show them: monthly license and resource cost against server cost spread over its lifetime, plus power, plus admin time. If it comes out against the cloud, we have a separate service - cloud exit - and we can run the move in the other direction too.
Two-factor authentication: where it breaks
Turning MFA on is one click. Problems show up in places nobody thinks about during rollout: service accounts used by ERP systems, scanners emailing documents, shared department mailboxes, phones of production staff who don’t have a company number.
Each of these cases has a solution, but it requires a decision before enabling it, not after. A rollout done on a Friday afternoon without that list ends on Monday with a string of “I can’t log in” tickets and pressure to disable MFA “for now”. That “for now” lasts for years.
That’s why we start with an inventory of accounts - including the ones that don’t belong to people.
Who this works for
Companies that are already in the cloud and aren’t sure what they’re paying for, and those planning to move off an on-premises mail server. At 10–70 workstations, the difference between well-chosen and poorly-chosen licenses is usually a few hundred zloty a month.
Frequently asked questions about the cloud
Does migrating mail to Microsoft 365 mean downtime?
It doesn’t have to. We plan the migration so the old and new mailbox run in parallel during a transition period - mail arrives in both places, and the switchover happens once everything is moved and verified.
Does Microsoft 365 have its own backup?
Not in the sense people usually assume. Microsoft protects its own infrastructure, but doesn’t protect you against a user deleting data or against ransomware encrypting files in OneDrive. We run the 365 backup with Cube Backup as part of backup and recovery.
How many former employees' accounts are usually still active?
Almost always more than zero. It’s the most common and cheapest thing to fix from a review: an active account after an employee leaves is both an access risk and a license you’re still paying for that nobody uses.
Which cloud providers do you support?
Microsoft (Azure, 365), Hetzner and AWS, and for website and mail hosting nazwa.pl, home.pl and cyberfolks.pl. We don’t support Oracle Cloud, and we say so upfront instead of learning on a client’s production environment.
