Who it’s for
For organisations ready to run IT as a service, not a server room
From a 20-seat trading office in DIFC to a multi-emirate group with its own datacenter, the same questions come up in almost every cloud conversation we have.
- Servers due for refresh and a quote that makes Azure worth comparing
- Microsoft 365 licences bought, but Teams, SharePoint and Intune barely used
- Remote and branch staff on VPNs that were never designed for them
- A cloud bill that grows every month with nobody accountable for it

Everything Cloud, Under One Roof
From initial strategy to ongoing management, we handle every aspect of your cloud journey. Each service below is delivered by the same engineers, under one agreement.
How it works
Cloud adoption in four stages
A fixed-scope assessment first, then design, migration and operations — each stage signed off before the next begins.
- 01
Assess
Discovery of your servers, applications, licences and network, a dependency map and a three-year TCO comparing on-premises, Azure and hybrid — with UAE data-residency requirements captured up front.
- 02
Plan & design
An Azure landing zone with identity, networking, governance and cost controls, a migration wave plan and a target Microsoft 365 configuration — signed off before any workload moves.
- 03
Migrate & modernise
Workloads moved wave by wave using Azure Migrate, Azure Site Recovery and the Microsoft 365 migration tooling, each with rehearsal, rollback and a cut-over outside business hours.
- 04
Operate & optimise
Managed cloud operations from our NOC: monitoring, patching, backup, security posture and a monthly FinOps review that right-sizes resources and applies Reserved Instances.
Most Microsoft 365 migrations complete within two to four weeks; server estates of 20–50 VMs move to Azure in six to twelve weeks.
Outcomes
The Binary Minds Cloud Advantage
What changes once the estate is on Azure and Microsoft 365 and being managed properly.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on residency, cost, timelines and what happens after go-live.
Yes. Azure has two UAE regions — UAE North in Dubai and UAE Central in Abu Dhabi — and AWS runs me-central-1 in the UAE. Core Microsoft 365 workloads for UAE tenants are stored in-country too. We pin every landing zone to these regions, which satisfies PDPL and regulators such as CBUAE, DHA, DIFC and ADGM.
On numbers. The readiness assessment produces a three-year TCO for each option from your real utilisation, licences and Etisalat or du connectivity costs. Most Microsoft-centric UAE businesses land on Azure because of Azure Hybrid Benefit and identity integration; heavy databases, latency-sensitive or regulated workloads often stay on HPE or Lenovo hardware in a hybrid design.
A Microsoft 365 tenant for 50–200 users takes two to four weeks including mail and file migration. A server estate of 20–50 VMs moves to Azure in six to twelve weeks in waves, each rehearsed first. Larger or more regulated estates are planned from the assessment.
Managed cloud is priced per user or per resource per month in AED, on top of Azure consumption billed through our Microsoft CSP agreement. We right-size monthly, apply Reserved Instances and Hybrid Benefit, set budgets and alerts in Azure Cost Management and review the report with you — most estates cut 20–35% from an unmanaged baseline.
Yes. Licences can move to our CSP agreement so support, AED billing and changes go through one place, or you keep an existing enterprise agreement and we manage the tenant alongside it. We also check whether Business Premium or E3 / E5 is the right mix for the security features you need.
The engineers who moved you. Managed Cloud runs from our Business Bay operations centre with 24/7 monitoring, patching, backup and incident response under an SLA, plus a named account manager for quarterly reviews. Prefer to run it yourself? We hand over documentation and training and stay available on a support contract.
