Have Questions?
Should a small business use AWS or Microsoft Azure?
It depends on the workload. Businesses already built on Microsoft 365 often find Azure the simpler fit for identity and licensing, while AWS is a strong choice for specific applications, data workloads and hosting. CinchOps assesses each system and recommends the right home for it, which is sometimes AWS, sometimes Azure, and sometimes the server you already own.
What does CinchOps actually do in an AWS environment?
Planning and migration, a secure account and identity setup, networking, backups, patching, monitoring, cost controls and documentation, then ongoing management as part of your managed IT service. You get one team for AWS and the rest of your IT.
How do you keep AWS costs under control?
We size instances and storage to the real workload, use reserved pricing where usage is steady, shut down what is idle, and set budgets with alerts that fire before overspending happens. Spend is reviewed with you on a schedule.
Is AWS secure for a Houston business?
The platform is secure. Most cloud breaches come from how accounts are configured: public storage, shared root credentials, missing MFA or unmonitored logs. CinchOps sets the account structure and identity controls first and monitors the environment afterward.
Can you move our existing server or application to AWS?
Yes. CinchOps assesses the application, plans the migration, moves the servers and data, tests the cutover and keeps a rollback path until the new environment is proven. Downtime is scheduled and agreed with you in advance.
