Security posture
Least privilege, segmentation and encryption considered in the platform design.
Cloud practice / Beijing
Shape cloud foundations for regulated and high-trust systems in Beijing.
Cloud architecture should make identity, sensitive data, audit evidence and service recovery explicit across every managed and self-operated boundary. In Beijing, this connects directly to secure interfaces across research, enterprise and institutional data.
What this practice covers
What Cloud covers
Cloud work connects architecture, access, workload operation and the decisions that keep a platform useful over time.
Cloud priorities in Beijing
Organizations operating in China often work at significant digital scale across fast product cycles, complex supply chains and distinct data and platform requirements.
Beijing's research, software, AI and institutional ecosystems produce complex systems with broad reach. Evaluation, data lineage and clear production ownership help translate technical depth into dependable services.
Research, AI, software, telecommunications, public services and healthcare generate demanding requirements for scale and governed data.
Cloud architecture should make identity, sensitive data, audit evidence and service recovery explicit across every managed and self-operated boundary.
- Architecture boundary
- Evaluation and data lineage for AI-enabled platforms
- Governance concern
- Scalable cloud foundations for large digital services
- Operating model
- Secure interfaces across research, enterprise and institutional data
What that gives your team
- Workload-aware architecture
- Safer modernization
- Resilient operations
Cloud foundations
Accounts, networks, identity and baseline controls that teams can reason about.
Migration and modernization
A staged path from current workloads to a better-fit architecture.
Governance
Guardrails and ownership patterns that let teams move without losing visibility.
Resilience
Recovery objectives, failure boundaries and scaling choices matched to the system.
Day-two operations
Patching, backups, cost awareness and maintenance practices that keep the foundation healthy.
How it works
How Cloud work moves
Cloud decisions become safer when the current estate, desired outcome and operating model are considered together.
01
Map
Understand workloads, dependencies, access paths and current operational constraints.
02
Shape
Compare target patterns and choose a staged architecture that fits the team.
03
Change
Implement foundations or migrations with observable checkpoints and rollback thinking.
Engagement models
Choose how we work together
Engagements can isolate a platform or delivery problem, define its interfaces clearly and coordinate implementation with China-based and international stakeholders. For Cloud, the initial scope should stay anchored to secure interfaces across research, enterprise and institutional data.

ExploreQuestions answered
Cloud questions, answered
A short set of practical questions to clarify the first conversation.
How should governance and audit needs shape Cloud work in Beijing?
Cloud architecture should make identity, sensitive data, audit evidence and service recovery explicit across every managed and self-operated boundary. Scope should begin with the systems, owners and evidence connected to secure interfaces across research, enterprise and institutional data.
Which cloud providers can you work with?
The existing XIVTech service content covers AWS, Azure and Google Cloud; the right path depends on workload requirements and current constraints.
Do you replace an existing cloud setup?
Not by default. The work begins with the current estate and only proposes a rebuild when the present design is the actual blocker.
Does Cloud include security?
Security is part of cloud architecture, with a separate Cloud Security service for deeper controls and remediation work.
Are cloud category pages market-specific?
No. The category page is global and uses the existing market-prefix policy for routing and SEO eligibility.
Next step
Frame the next cloud decision in Beijing.
Start with secure interfaces across research, enterprise and institutional data and the technical or organizational boundary that makes it difficult today.
