Work From Anywhere Without Compromising Security or Performance

The Engine that keeps you connected.


Your team works from the office, from home, from client sites, from coffee shops – anywhere business happens. We provide Microsoft Azure based cloud hosting and connectivity services that ensure your team has seamless, secure access to the systems and data they need, wherever they’re working.

Location shouldn’t be a constraint


Work Happens Everywhere Now


The Monday-to-Friday, 9-to-5, everyone-in-the-office model is no longer the norm.

 

The expectations have changed: Your team should be able to work as efficiently from home, from a client’s office, or from a train platform as they do from their desk.

Modern business happens wherever your team needs to be:

  • Sarah works from home Mondays and Fridays
  • James is at a client site Tuesday afternoon
  • People may need to access files while traveling between meetings
  • Karen from finance needs secure access to systems from their home office
  • Jack is working from a hotel room during a conference
  • Client meetings happen on-site, requiring access to proposals and documents on the spot

But making that work securely and reliably is complicated:

  • Traditional VPNs are slow, unreliable, and frustrating
  • Security concerns about accessing company data from personal networks
  • File access that works great in the office but breaks when remote
  • Phone systems tied to physical desk phones that don’t travel
  • Cloud services that should work anywhere but somehow don’t when you need them
  • Different tools for different locations creating friction and confusion

Location shouldn’t dictate productivity. That’s what cloud hosting and connectivity solves.

The Lumina Approach

Seamless Access, Wherever Work Happens

We don’t just give you cloud access and hope it works. We architect cloud and connectivity solutions specifically designed for distributed, mobile teams.

Cloud Infrastructure That Travels With Your Team

Hosted desktops, cloud-based applications, and infrastructure designed to be accessed from anywhere – with the same performance and security whether you’re in the office or on a beach in Spain.

Secure Connectivity Without the Friction

Modern security that protects your data without making remote work painful. Multi-factor authentication that actually works, zero-trust architectures, secure access that doesn’t require fighting with VPNs every morning.

Built on Microsoft Azure

As a Microsoft Partner, we build cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure – enterprise-grade infrastructure with the same security and reliability that powers Microsoft’s own services. Your cloud environment integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365, benefits from our Microsoft expertise, and gives you access to world-class infrastructure without enterprise complexity.

Telephony That Works Anywhere

Cloud-based phone systems that follow your team wherever they are. Calls to your business number ring on mobile devices, desktop apps, or physical phones – your choice. Clients call one number, reach the right person, regardless of location.

Integration, Not Islands

Your cloud services, on-premises systems, telephony, and connectivity work together seamlessly. No switching between tools. No “that only works in the office.” Just consistent access to everything you need.

The result? Your team works efficiently from anywhere, your clients get consistent service regardless of where your team is located, and you stop worrying about whether remote work is creating security risks or productivity gaps.

 

Our Cloud Hosting & Connectivity Services

Give your team access to their full desktop environment from any device, anywhere – with enterprise-grade security and performance.

What hosted desktops deliver:

 

Consistent Experience Everywhere
Whether working from the office, home, or a hotel room, your team gets the same desktop, the same applications, the same files. No “this only works on my office computer.”

 

Enterprise Security
Your data never leaves the secure cloud environment – it’s only streamed to devices. If a laptop is lost or stolen, your business data isn’t on it. Multi-factor authentication, encryption, and access controls keep everything protected.

 

Performance That Doesn’t Depend on Your Device
Hosted desktops run on powerful cloud infrastructure, not your laptop’s processor. Even older devices deliver fast performance because the heavy lifting happens in the cloud.

 

Automatic Backups & Disaster Recovery
Your desktop environment is automatically backed up and protected. If something goes wrong, we restore it – you’re not dependent on a single device working perfectly.

 

Simplified IT Management
Updates, patches, software installations – we handle it all centrally in the cloud environment. Your team’s devices stay simple and manageable.

 

Graphics Acceleration

Advanced graphics acceleration available for CAD, engineering, and design workloads that demand high performance.

 

The goal: Your team works from anywhere with the full power of their office desktop, without security trade-offs or performance compromises.

Moving to the cloud or integrating cloud services with existing systems needs to be planned and executed carefully to avoid disruption.

We manage cloud integration and migration projects so your transition is smooth, secure, and aligned with your business needs.

 

What We Handle:

Cloud Migration Planning
Not everything needs to move to the cloud, and not everything should. We assess your current infrastructure, understand your business requirements, and create a migration roadmap that makes sense for your specific situation.

 

Seamless Migration Execution
We migrate your data, applications, and systems to Microsoft Azure with minimal disruption to your business operations. Phased migrations, testing, rollback plans – we ensure the transition is controlled and reversible if needed.

 

Hybrid Cloud Architecture
Sometimes the best solution is both – cloud for some workloads, on-premises for others. We design and manage Azure-based hybrid environments that give you the best of both worlds without creating complexity.

 

Application Integration
Your cloud applications need to work with your existing systems. We integrate cloud services with on-premises infrastructure, ensuring data flows smoothly and systems communicate properly.

 

Data Synchronisation
Files, databases, applications – we ensure data is synchronised correctly between cloud and on-premises systems, with proper conflict resolution and version control.

 

Legacy Application Support
Some applications don’t work well in the cloud or can’t be migrated. We create solutions that allow your team to access legacy applications from cloud environments when needed.

 

The goal: Cloud adoption that enhances your business capabilities without creating chaos, downtime, or forcing you to abandon systems that still serve you well.

Having cloud infrastructure is one thing. Managing it effectively is another.

We provide ongoing cloud management so your cloud environment stays secure, performant, and cost-effective without requiring cloud expertise in-house.

 

What we manage:

Infrastructure Monitoring & Optimisation
Continuous monitoring of your cloud resources – virtual machines, storage, networking, applications. We identify performance issues, optimise configurations, and ensure your cloud infrastructure delivers the performance you need.

 

Cost Management & Optimisation
Cloud costs can spiral quickly without proper management. We monitor spending, identify waste, rightsize resources, and optimise costs so you’re only paying for what you actually use.

 

Security & Compliance
Cloud security configurations, access controls, threat monitoring, compliance requirements – we ensure your cloud environment maintains security standards and meets regulatory requirements.

 

Backup & Disaster Recovery
Cloud-based backup strategies and disaster recovery configurations that protect your data and ensure business continuity. Your cloud resources are protected just like your on-premises infrastructure.

 

 

Microsoft Azure Management
We manage your relationship with Microsoft Azure, handle support escalations, and ensure you’re getting the most from your Azure investment as a Microsoft Partner.

 

Capacity Planning
Forecasting future cloud resource needs based on business growth, ensuring you’re never caught out by capacity constraints or unexpected scaling requirements.

 

The goal: Your cloud infrastructure works reliably and cost-effectively with expert management, without requiring you to hire dedicated cloud engineers or develop in-house expertise.

Modern phone systems shouldn’t tie your team to physical desk phones or limit how clients can reach you.

We provide cloud-based telephony solutions that keep your business communications professional, flexible, and accessible from anywhere.

 

 

What we deliver:

Cloud-Based Phone Systems
VoIP phone systems hosted in the cloud – professional business telephony without expensive on-premises PBX hardware. Scale up or down easily, add features without new equipment, manage everything centrally.

 

Important note: Cloud telephony relies on your internet connection – we ensure you have the connectivity infrastructure to support reliable voice communications.

 

Work From Anywhere Calling
Calls to your business number ring on desk phones, mobile devices, desktop applications – your choice. Your team answers business calls from wherever they’re working, and clients never know the difference.

 

Professional Features Without Complexity
Auto-attendants, call queuing, voicemail-to-email, call recording, conference calling, hunt groups – all the features businesses need without requiring a phone system administrator.

 

Mobile Integration
Your team’s mobile phones become extensions of your business phone system. Make and receive business calls from personal devices while keeping numbers separate, with professional caller ID.

 

Microsoft Teams Integration
If you’re using Microsoft Teams, we can integrate telephony directly – making and receiving external calls through Teams without separate phone systems.

 

Number Portability & Management
Keep your existing business phone numbers when moving to cloud telephony. We handle number porting and ongoing number management.

 

UK-Based Support
Phone systems are critical – when they’re not working, business stops. We provide UK-based support that understands the urgency and responds accordingly.

 

Reliability & Redundancy
Cloud-hosted systems with geographic redundancy ensure your phones stay working even if individual servers or locations fail. Better reliability than traditional on-premises phone systems.

 

The goal: Professional business communications that work anywhere your team works, without expensive hardware or the constraints of physical phone systems.
