Move, host and protect in one request.

Choose what you want to move or host. We match you with providers who do that work every day.

Plan before you ask for quotes

What will your cloud bill depend on?

Set your users, data and backups. You get the quantities every provider should quote on and the cost drivers to see as separate lines. We never guess prices.

  • Users and licences drive the cost of email and collaboration tools.
  • Storage and backup retention grow over time. Ask how extra storage is billed.
  • Data leaving the cloud — downloads and transfers — is billed separately on some platforms.
  • Migration and support are services, not software. Get them as fixed lines.

Quantities to quote on

  • Users (mailboxes or licences): 20
  • Data to host: 500 GB
  • Daily restore points: 30

Cost drivers to see priced separately8

  • Mailbox licence per user, and which plan level
  • Moving old emails, contacts and calendars
  • Spam filtering and email archiving
  • Storage per user and for shared drives
  • Sharing controls and access for people outside the company
  • Backup storage and how long copies are kept
  • Restore tests: how often, and who does them
  • A copy kept in a second location or region

Quantities only, no prices. Real backup storage depends on the method: incremental copies need far less than full ones.

Buyer checklist

How to choose a cloud provider

Moving is the easy part. These six questions protect you for the years after it.

  1. Where your data lives.The country or region of the data centre, and whether a location in or near Kuwait is available if you need it.
  2. A migration plan with downtime.What moves when, how long systems are offline, and how you go back if something fails.
  3. Backups you can restore.How often a real restore is tested, and how long a full restore takes.
  4. An exit plan.How you get all your data back, in which format, if you change provider.
  5. Support you can reach.Support hours, language, and who to call when the system is down.
  6. A bill you understand.Which parts are fixed each month and which grow with usage.
Know before you buy

Four things worth understanding first.

Options

Public cloud, local data centre or shared hosting?

Public clouds such as Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud offer many services and regions. Local data centres keep servers in the country and often include hands-on support. Shared hosting is simplest and suits websites. Many companies mix them.

Kuwait

Know your data level before you choose

Kuwait’s communications regulator, CITRA, issued a Cloud Computing Regulatory Framework (Resolution No. 112 of 2021). Its data classification policy sorts data into four levels by sensitivity, from public information up to highly sensitive data, and the controls get stricter at each level. Data at the two highest levels must be hosted inside Kuwait, with a cloud provider licensed by CITRA. Work out which level your data falls into, then ask each provider which levels their service is approved for and where your data will be stored.

Responsibility

The cloud is shared work

The platform secures its data centres and hardware. You — or your provider — still manage users, passwords, settings and backups. Ask the provider to write down exactly which parts they look after.

Backup

Sync is not a backup

When files sync, a deleted or encrypted file is deleted or encrypted everywhere. A real backup keeps separate copies from earlier days that you can restore. Make sure your quote includes one.

Cloud questions

Can our email move without losing old messages?

Yes, in most cases. Old emails, contacts and calendars can be migrated. Ask the provider how many years of mail are included and how the switch-over day works.

Is the cloud cheaper than our own server?

Not always. The cloud replaces buying and maintaining hardware with a monthly bill. Compare the total over three to five years, including support and backup.

Where will our data be stored?

It depends on the provider and the plan. If location matters to you, say so in your request and we will match you with providers that can meet it.

Do you recommend specific cloud providers?

No. Platform names on this page are examples, not recommendations. We match your request with suitable providers and tell you who they are before sharing your details.
