Cloud Services in Charlotte, NC

Royal Nerds offers comprehensive cloud services in Charlotte including cloud migration to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud; Microsoft 365 setup and management; virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for remote teams; automated cloud backup and disaster recovery; hybrid cloud design; and ongoing cloud infrastructure management. Every engagement starts with a free cloud readiness assessment.

Cloud migration costs depend on the size and complexity of your environment. For small businesses (under 25 users), a Microsoft 365 migration typically runs $1,500–$4,000 as a one-time project. A full server-to-cloud migration for a 25–75 user company typically ranges from $8,000–$25,000 depending on the number of servers, applications, and data volume. We provide a fixed-cost proposal after a free cloud readiness assessment so there are no surprises.

For most Charlotte small businesses, Microsoft Azure paired with Microsoft 365 is the most practical choice because it integrates natively with Office apps, Outlook, and Teams that most businesses already use. AWS is better suited for companies with custom applications or development workloads. Google Cloud is excellent for businesses using Google Workspace. We're experienced with all three platforms and recommend based on your existing software stack, budget, and long-term needs.

Yes. Microsoft 365 management is one of our most common cloud services. We handle initial setup and migration from older systems, user provisioning and license management, email security (anti-phishing, spam filtering), SharePoint and OneDrive configuration, Teams setup for collaboration, and ongoing administration. We can also migrate you from Google Workspace or on-premises Exchange.

Cloud backup automatically copies your critical business data — files, emails, databases, servers — to a secure offsite cloud location. If your office has a fire, flood, ransomware attack, or hardware failure, you can restore your data quickly from the cloud backup. For Charlotte businesses, we implement 3-2-1 backup strategies: 3 copies of data, on 2 different media types, with 1 copy offsite (cloud). We test restores regularly — most businesses that lose data discover their backup was broken only after the disaster.

Yes. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) lets your employees access a full Windows desktop from any device — a laptop, tablet, or even a personal computer — by logging in securely from anywhere. This is popular for Charlotte businesses with remote workers, traveling staff, or employees using older hardware. We use Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly Windows Virtual Desktop) to deploy and manage VDI environments. It also improves security because company data never sits on the employee's local device.

Yes. We offer fully managed cloud services including 24/7 monitoring of your cloud environment, security patch management, cost optimization (many businesses overpay for cloud resources they're not using), performance tuning, backup verification, user account management, and regular reporting. Cloud environments that are not actively managed tend to accumulate security risks and unnecessary costs over time.

Yes. We provide cloud migration and management services throughout the Charlotte metro area including Concord, Gastonia, Rock Hill SC, Fort Mill SC, Matthews, Huntersville, Mooresville, and surrounding communities. Cloud services are primarily delivered remotely, with on-site visits for initial setup, hardware deployment, and training sessions as needed.
