CloudForge Synergies: cloud & hybrid infrastructure

Our CloudForge Synergies practice specializes in designing, implementing, and optimizing cloud and hybrid infrastructure solutions to empower organizations with scalable, secure, and cost-effective IT environments. We address key current challenges, including cloud dissatisfaction due to rising costs (up to 30% higher in some cases), data sovereignty requirements, and the surge in AI/ML workloads demanding modernized setups. By blending public, private, and on-premises clouds, we enable seamless workload shifting, enhanced security, and edge computing for real-time decision-making. 

This practice integrates with our full portfolio—such as InfraForge Solutions for broader modernization, CyberShield Assurance for compliance, and DataSync Insights for AI Synergies and integration—to deliver holistic transformations amid a cloud market projected to grow double-digit across all segments, with hybrid adoption emphasizing flexibility and reliability.

Offerings and Capabilities

CloudForge Synergy provides end-to-end services tailored to current trends like multicloud and cross-cloud strategies, industry-specific solutions, and AI-enhanced edge computing. Our capabilities focus on reducing technical debt, optimizing costs through repatriation where needed, and ensuring sustainability, with potential efficiency gains of 20-40% in hybrid setups.
