Cloud Solutions for Jacksonville
Microsoft 365 | Azure | Hybrid Cloud | Secure Remote Access
Panda Technology designs, migrates, and manages cloud environments for Jacksonville businesses that want enterprise-grade reliability, security, and flexibility without the complexity or cost of managing it in-house. Whether you're replacing a legacy server, moving to Microsoft 365, or building a hybrid architecture that supports multiple locations and remote teams, we handle the strategy, the migration, and the ongoing management.
What Are Cloud Solutions?
Managed cloud solutions are the planning, migration, and ongoing administration of cloud platforms and services delivered by an external IT team. Rather than managing Microsoft 365 licenses, Azure environments, or cloud backups yourself, a managed cloud provider handles configuration, security, updates, and optimization so your team just works, wherever they are. For Jacksonville businesses, cloud solutions mean trading unpredictable hardware costs and on-premise maintenance for predictable monthly costs, better security, and a technology environment that scales as your business grows.
When do Jacksonville businesses move to the cloud?
Aging servers or on-premise infrastructure reaching end of life.
Growing remote or hybrid teams that need consistent, secure access from anywhere.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace migrations from legacy email systems.
New office locations that need standardized IT without duplicating hardware costs.
Compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS) that demand documented access controls and audit trails.
Ransomware risk: organizations that need hardened, air-gapped backups and tested recovery.
CLOUD SOLUTIONS & SERVICES · WHAT'S INCLUDED
Our Cloud Solution Services
Cloud Strategy & Readiness Assessment
Before anything moves to the cloud, we assess your current environment's servers, applications, licensing, and connectivity to identify which workloads should migrate, which should stay on-premises, and what the right sequence and timeline looks like. Delivered with a prioritized roadmap, cost projections, and clear dependencies to avoid surprises mid-project.
Microsoft 365 & Email Modernization
Migration of email, calendars, contacts, and collaboration tools to Microsoft 365: including Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive with security policies, retention settings, and MFA configured from day one. Ideal for Jacksonville businesses replacing aging Exchange servers, on-premise file shares, or fragmented email providers. We handle the migration, the cutover, and user adoption so your team transitions smoothly.
Azure & Cloud
Infrastructure
Design and deployment of virtual machines, networking, storage, and remote desktop environments in Microsoft Azure or other cloud platforms to support line-of-business applications and distributed teams. Built with security and cost optimization in mind. We "right-size" your environment and monitor usage so you're not paying for resources you're not using.
Hybrid Cloud & Secure Remote Access
For Jacksonville organizations with physical offices and distributed teams, we design hybrid architectures that connect on-premise and cloud environments securely. Includes MFA enforcement, conditional access policies, single sign-on (SSO), and VPN or Azure Virtual Desktop configurations, so every user gets a consistent, secure experience whether they're in the office, at home, or in the field.
Cloud Backup & Disaster Recovery
Security-hardened, encrypted cloud backups with documented recovery runbooks and regular recovery testing. We design backup policies specifically to survive ransomware, immutable storage, air-gapped copies, and offsite redundancy built in. If the worst happens, you know exactly how long recovery will take because we've tested it.
Cloud Management & Optimization
After migration, your cloud environment still needs attention: license management, security patching, configuration drift monitoring, cost optimization, and user lifecycle management as your team grows or changes. We provide ongoing administration so your cloud environment stays aligned with your business as it evolves, without requiring you to build internal cloud expertise.
CLOUD SOLUTIONS & SERVICES · WHO BENEFITS MOST
Who Needs Managed Cloud Solutions in Jacksonville?
Healthcare Practices (HIPAA)
Cloud platforms must be configured to support HIPAA technical safeguards, access controls, audit logging, encryption in transit and at rest, and business associate agreements with cloud providers. We configure Microsoft 365 and Azure environments to meet these requirements from day one.
Law Firms & Professional Services
Client confidentiality demands strict access controls, data loss prevention, and documented security policies. Cloud environments for legal and professional services organizations require more than default settings; we harden configurations, enforce least-privilege access, and ensure your cloud posture supports bar association and regulatory expectations.
Construction & Multi-Site Organizations (NEFBA Member)
Businesses with field teams, multiple job sites, or growing headcounts benefit most from cloud standardization. We design cloud architectures that extend the same tools and access to every location and every user from the downtown Jacksonville office to a St. Johns County job site.
Businesses Replacing Aging Infrastructure
If your server is approaching end of life or your IT environment is built on a mix of old hardware, disconnected tools, and manual processes, cloud migration offers a clean break. We handle the full transition, assessment, migration, cutover, and training so you don't inherit old problems in a new wrapper.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Managed IT Services
Considering managed IT services for your Jacksonville business? We've answered the most common questions about costs, service inclusions, response times, and what makes managed IT different from traditional break-fix support.
What cloud services do Jacksonville businesses use most?
The most common cloud services for Jacksonville businesses are Microsoft 365 (email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive), Microsoft Azure (virtual machines, remote desktops, and cloud infrastructure), and cloud backup and disaster recovery solutions. Healthcare organizations also frequently need HIPAA-compliant cloud configurations, while construction and multi-site businesses prioritize hybrid cloud designs that connect field and office teams.
How much do cloud solutions cost for a Jacksonville business?
Cloud solution costs depend on the number of users, the platforms involved, and whether you need migration, ongoing management, or both. Microsoft 365 Business licenses range from $6–$22 per user per month, depending on the plan. Managed cloud services including migration, security configuration, and ongoing administration, are typically included in Panda Technology's managed IT plans, or scoped as a standalone project with a fixed quote after a free assessment.
How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take?
Most Microsoft 365 migrations for Jacksonville businesses with 15–100 users take two to four weeks from kickoff to cutover, depending on the complexity of your current email environment, the number of shared mailboxes and distribution groups, and how much legacy data needs to be migrated. We manage the full process, pre-migration audit, migration, cutover, and post-migration support so your team experiences minimal disruption.
Is the cloud secure enough for HIPAA compliance?
Yes, when configured correctly. Microsoft 365 and Azure both support HIPAA-compliant configurations, but the default settings are not HIPAA-compliant out of the box. Access controls, audit logging, encryption settings, retention policies, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with Microsoft must all be properly configured. Panda Technology configures cloud environments for Jacksonville healthcare practices to meet HIPAA technical safeguard requirements from day one.
What's the difference between cloud migration and managed cloud services?
Cloud migration is the one-time project of moving your data, email, applications, or infrastructure from an on-premise environment to the cloud. Managed cloud services are the ongoing administration of that environment after migration, license management, security patching, user provisioning, backup monitoring, and cost optimization. Many Jacksonville businesses need both, and we provide them as a seamless, integrated service.
Can you migrate us to the cloud without significant downtime?
Yes. We plan migrations carefully to minimize business disruption, scheduling cutovers during low-traffic periods, running parallel environments during transition, and providing user communication and training so your team knows what to expect. Most Microsoft 365 email migrations happen overnight with zero business-hours downtime.
Do you manage cloud environments after migration?
Yes. We provide ongoing cloud management, including license administration, security policy updates, user onboarding and offboarding, backup monitoring, and quarterly environment reviews. Most clients roll cloud management into their managed IT services engagement for a single fixed monthly cost covering all IT and cloud needs.
