Operate 24×7 monitoring · Incident response · FinOps AWS Premier Partner

Managed services with contractual SLAs, not aspirational targets.

ICS Compute operates cloud infrastructure and AI workloads under defined response and resolution times, with weekly reporting and full client access to monitoring dashboards. We design, build, and manage cloud environments end to end. The client can take over management at any point without technical barriers, because every procedure we operate is documented.

When this is needed

Three signals that this is the right next step.

01 / No one watching at 3 AM The system is running, but no internal team has the capacity to monitor it consistently around the clock.
02 / Costs without owners Cloud costs keep rising without clear accountability and no one is closing the loop.
03 / Users report before you do Incidents are only discovered after end users have already raised complaints.
Service shape

Five services. All under SLA. All transparent.

Illustrative service shape. SLA tiers, response times, and reporting cadences are defined contractually per engagement. The shape and the transparency commitment are constant.

TransparencyWeekly reports, monthly business reviews, and full client access to monitoring dashboards. Procedures documented end to end so the client retains the option to take over.
Engineering principles

The managed-operations model. Transparent by design.

We merge 24×7 operations, SLA ownership, cost control, patching, and recovery into one operating model that the client can inspect and take over.

01 / WatchSignal before noise

24×7 monitoring covers cloud infrastructure and AI workloads, with alerting tuned to actionable signal instead of alert volume.

02 / OwnContractual SLAs

Incident response runs under defined response and resolution times with consequences, not aspirational targets that sit outside operations.

03 / OptimiseFinOps as an operating loop

Monthly cost reviews, rightsizing, reserved-instance strategy, and anomaly detection prevent spend from drifting after migration.

04 / ChangePatch without drama

Operating systems, containers, and databases are patched through availability-aware strategies instead of relying on fragile maintenance windows.

05 / ProveRecovery must be tested

Backup and disaster recovery are validated through automated checks and periodic recovery drills, because untested backups are false confidence.

Merged operating model

Managed service does not mean black box.

The client sees the same dashboards we use, receives weekly and monthly operating evidence, and keeps documented runbooks from day one. We avoid vendor dependency by making every routine and incident procedure inspectable, transferable, and ready for handover when the internal team is ready.

Case studies & outcomes

Two managed-services engagements. Both verifiable.

01
E-commerce · internal team of 5

Internal team focused on product, not on platform.

Context
An e-commerce platform operated with an internal technology team of five people, who could not sustainably cover both product development and round-the-clock platform operations.
Before
Mean time to recovery sat at around 4 hours. Operational coverage came at the cost of product velocity.
What we delivered
Managed services covering 24×7 monitoring, incident response under contractual SLAs, FinOps, and patch management, with full transparency to the internal team.
Outcome
4h → 18 minMean time to recovery
Managed services allowed the internal team to focus on product development. Mean time to recovery reduced from 4 hours to 18 minutes.
02
Post-cloud-migration · no internal FinOps

Continuous cost management after migration.

Context
An organisation post-cloud-migration had no internal FinOps function. Spend was rising without accountability or a clear cost narrative.
Before
Cloud spend was rising month over month against initial post-migration projections, with no FinOps practice in place to close the loop.
What we delivered
Ongoing cloud financial management: monthly cost reviews, rightsizing recommendations, reserved instance strategy, and spend anomaly detection running continuously.
Outcome
20–35%Average savings within first 6 months
Average savings of 20–35% within the first six months compared to initial post-migration spend.

Service tiers

Three coverage levels. All contractual.

Choose a tier based on your coverage needs. SLA targets — response times, resolution times, uptime — are defined in the Managed Services Agreement, not in brochures.

Regular
Business hours
8×5 coverage
  • Infrastructure monitoring & alerting
  • Incident response via email
  • Monthly cost report
  • Infrastructure management
Enterprise
Dedicated coverage
24×7 + dedicated Service Delivery Manager
  • Everything in Premium
  • Single point of contact (SDM)
  • Well-Architected Review & remediation
  • Monthly ops review + cloud strategy

Specific SLA targets are defined contractually per engagement. Contact us to determine the right tier for your workload.

Tooling & platforms

Platforms we operate on your behalf.

ICS Compute uses a combination of cloud-native and third-party platforms to deliver managed services. Tooling is configured per engagement; the list below reflects what is in production use across our managed customer base.

Monitoring & Observability
Cloud-native + third-party monitoring
Unified dashboards covering infrastructure metrics, application performance, log aggregation, and uptime synthetic checks across multi-cloud environments.
Incident & Change Management
ITSM ticketing with SLA tracking
All incidents, change requests, and problem records are tracked in a formal ITSM system with automated SLA breach alerting and escalation routing.
Security Operations
Threat detection & compliance posture
Threat detection, security finding aggregation, compliance rule checks, and audit trail management across managed accounts with 24×7 alerting on high-severity findings.
Cloud Financial Management
FinOps dashboard & anomaly detection
Cost allocation by tag and account, budget alerting, anomaly detection, rightsizing recommendations, and reserved capacity management delivered as a monthly FinOps report.
Infrastructure & Configuration
Infrastructure as Code & automation
All managed infrastructure is provisioned and modified via version-controlled Infrastructure as Code. Configuration drift detection runs continuously; remediation is automated where safe.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Automated backup & DR orchestration
Policy-based backup management with automated recovery validation. DR runbooks are tested periodically with documented RTO/RPO results per customer workload tier.
After we hand off
Engagement structure is contractual. Managed services agreements are structured as monthly recurring contracts, with SLA tier, reporting cadence, and on-call coverage defined at contract signature. Operations reviews are held quarterly (Premium) or monthly (Enterprise) to assess service performance, cost trends, and upcoming changes. Every procedure ICS Compute runs is documented; if your team is ever ready to insource operations, the runbooks are yours. Minimum engagement period and termination terms are specified in the MSA.
Talk to us

Start with a transition assessment. Then sign the SLA.

ICS Compute operates cloud environments with contractual accountability. If your internal team is stretched on operations, or post-migration spend is rising without a FinOps practice, the next step is a structured assessment that defines the SLA tier, the cost baseline, and the transition plan.

The assessment produces a contract with defined consequences, not a brochure with aspirational numbers. Transparency is the default.

Transition assessment

What the assessment covers

  • Workload inventory and current operational posture
  • SLA tier recommendation with response and resolution targets
  • FinOps baseline and a 6-month cost trajectory
  • Patch, backup, and DR readiness review
  • A transition plan from current state to managed operation
