Wokingham, England

Independent infrastructure consultancy.

Azure and hybrid infrastructure for organisations that need senior capability on the estate.

The practice

Blue Monkey Technology Ltd has delivered infrastructure work since 1997. The focus is architecting and operating enterprise estates: Azure, AWS, and hybrid platforms, with automation, multi-vendor environments, and security as standard.

Engagements are hands-on. The work sits on the estate, in releases, and with the client team — not as a programme office or a delivery layer.

Assignments have included public-sector and defence work where SC or DV clearance was held. That is historical; this site does not claim current clearance status.
