Infrastructure Design on AWS, Azure & GCP in Dubai

Stralya designs robust, secure and scalable cloud infrastructures on AWS, Azure and GCP tailored to your business, compliance and performance needs in Dubai and across the GCC. We scope, architect and document everything under a fixed-price engagement – then stay with you to make sure it runs flawlessly.

Service Scope

What Is Included in Our Infrastructure Design Service?

Stralya’s Infrastructure Design service covers everything you need to move from uncertainty and ad-hoc cloud usage to a clear, robust and maintainable architecture on AWS, Azure or GCP. We focus on what matters most for Dubai-based organisations: reliability, security, scalability and long-term ownership of your platform.

Core Deliverables

High-level and detailed architecture diagrams for AWS, Azure or GCP (or a combination, when relevant).

Network design: VPC/VNet layout, subnets, routing, security groups/NSGs, VPN or Direct Connect/ExpressRoute options.

Identity and access management model, roles, policies and recommendations for privileged access management.

Environment strategy (development, staging, production) and isolation, including branching and deployment patterns.

Scalability and high-availability design: autoscaling, load balancing, multi-AZ or regional redundancy where required.

Data layer architecture: databases, storage classes, backups, retention policies and disaster recovery strategy.

Security and compliance baseline: encryption, network segmentation, logging, WAF and DDoS protection options.

Observability stack: logging, metrics, tracing and alerting design integrated with your existing tools where possible.

Cost-optimisation guidelines: right-sizing, reserved instances or savings plans, storage lifecycle policies and monitoring.

Implementation guidelines and sequencing roadmap, including risk points and recommended validation steps.

Optional Add-Ons

Hands-on implementation of the designed infrastructure, including IaC (Terraform or cloud-native templates).

CI/CD pipeline design and setup for your applications, aligned with the target infrastructure.

Security hardening and penetration-testing coordination with specialised security partners.

24/7 production monitoring and incident response under a dedicated SLA.

Workshops and training sessions for your internal teams on operating the new cloud environment.

Periodic architecture reviews and optimisation sprints as your platform and user base grow.

Every engagement is scoped to your reality: startup, scale-up, SME, enterprise or government-related entity. We adapt the depth of documentation, governance and automation to your internal capabilities while keeping the same standard of technical excellence and reliability.

Designed for Dubai’s Most Demanding Digital Projects

Aligned with Business and Regulatory Priorities

We design infrastructures that respect your commercial objectives, internal governance and, where relevant, local or sector-specific regulations. This is particularly important for finance, real estate, healthcare and government-related platforms in the UAE.

Performance for High-Traffic and Data-Intensive Use Cases

From real estate marketplaces to internal corporate portals and citizen-facing services, we optimise for latency, throughput and resilience. Caching, content delivery and database design are all integrated into the architecture from day one.

Security Built-In, Not Added Later

Identity, access, encryption, network segmentation and auditability are integral to our designs. This reduces your risk exposure and simplifies later certifications or security assessments.

Scalable and Cost-Conscious

We balance performance and cost by using autoscaling, right-sized resources and lifecycle policies. You only pay for what you need, with a clear path to scale when your traffic and data grow.

Long-Term Partnership, Not a One-Off Diagram

Our goal is to become your long-term cloud partner in Dubai. We stay available to support implementation, review critical decisions and evolve your infrastructure as your business and the cloud platforms themselves change.

How We Work

A Structured, Fixed-Price Approach to Infrastructure Design

Our clients in Dubai do not have time for endless workshops and vague architecture slides. Stralya applies a rigorous, time-boxed and fixed-price process to design your infrastructure on AWS, Azure or GCP. Every step is led by senior engineers, documented, and directly aligned with your project milestones.

We start with focused sessions with your CTO, product owners and operations teams. We clarify business objectives, SLAs, user volumes, compliance requirements (including UAE / GCC specifics), and existing constraints. If you already have a cloud setup, we review your accounts, resources, networking, security groups and cost structure.

Based on your needs, we select the most appropriate cloud provider or multi-cloud strategy. We then design the high-level target architecture: core services, networking layout, security model, data flows, availability zones, backup and disaster recovery strategy, and integration points with your existing systems.

We translate the target architecture into detailed infrastructure design: VPCs/VNets, subnets, IAM roles, secret management, CI/CD integration, logging and monitoring, autoscaling policies, storage classes, and cost-optimisation levers. Everything is captured in diagrams and written documentation that your teams can operate and evolve.

We run a dedicated pass on security, compliance and reliability: least-privilege access, encryption at rest and in transit, network segmentation, WAF and DDoS protection options, backup policies, RPO/RTO targets and incident response patterns. We align this with your internal governance and, where relevant, with sector-specific requirements.

We present the full design to your technical and business stakeholders, answer questions, and adjust where needed. You receive the architecture pack, implementation guidelines and a concrete roadmap for rollout or migration. Stralya can then implement and maintain the platform under a separate fixed-price or SLA engagement if you wish.

Find Commonly Asked Questions

We are provider-agnostic and work with AWS, Azure and GCP. Many of our Dubai clients already have a preferred provider, while others ask us to recommend one based on their use case, budget and compliance needs. We can also design hybrid or multi-cloud architectures when it makes strategic sense.

Yes. A significant part of our work in Dubai is “project rescue” for existing platforms that are fragile, slow or too costly. We assess your current setup, identify risks and inefficiencies, then propose a redesigned architecture that can often reuse part of what you already have while stabilising performance and optimising costs.

We work on a fixed-price basis. After a short scoping phase, we define the exact perimeter of the infrastructure design: environments, cloud provider(s), integrations, security depth, and documentation level. You then receive a fixed-price proposal with clear deliverables and timelines, so you know exactly what you are getting and when.

Yes. While this service focuses on design, Stralya can also take full responsibility for implementation, deployment pipelines and long-term maintenance under an SLA. Some clients ask us to implement everything; others prefer their internal teams to execute the plan while we stay available for reviews and critical decisions.

We integrate security and compliance from the very beginning of the design. That includes data residency considerations, identity and access management, network segmentation, encryption, logging and auditability. We align our design with your internal policies and any sector-specific requirements (for example, finance, real estate, or government-related mandates).

Absolutely. We frequently design the infrastructure while internal teams or existing vendors handle part of the implementation. Our documentation, diagrams and guidelines are built to be understood and applied by external teams. We can also offer selective staff augmentation with senior engineers to reinforce your project at key moments.
