Shared Cloud Services
Scalable Cloud Without the Complexity
Shared cloud infrastructure delivers the flexibility, scalability, and economics of enterprise cloud technology without the cost of dedicated, single-tenant environments. For most Perth businesses, shared cloud is the most practical and cost-effective way to access cloud computing — enabling teams to scale quickly, access systems from anywhere, and reduce dependence on ageing on-premises hardware.Â
Flux IT manages shared cloud environments on behalf of Perth businesses — handling the configuration, security, optimisation, and ongoing management so your team can focus on what they do best.
What Is Shared Cloud?
In a shared cloud model, computing resources — including servers, storage, and networking — are pooled across multiple customers on a common platform.
Each customer’s data and workloads remain logically isolated and secure, while the shared infrastructure model drives down cost and enables rapid scaling.
Leading shared cloud platforms — including Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 — are built on this model, combining economies of scale with enterprise-grade security, redundancy, and global availability.Â
Shared cloud is not a compromise — modern platforms deliver exceptional performance, availability, and security at a price point that makes enterprise-grade infrastructure accessible to businesses of every size.Â

Is Shared Cloud Right for Your Business?
Shared cloud is well suited to:Â
- Businesses of 5 to 200 users seeking to reduce on-premises infrastructure
- Organisations using or migrating to Microsoft 365 as their primary productivity platform
- Teams with distributed or remote workers who need consistent cloud-based access
- Businesses seeking to improve disaster recovery without significant capital investment
- Growing organisations that need infrastructure that scales with them, not against them
If your workloads have specific data sovereignty, compliance, or performance requirements that shared environments cannot accommodate, Flux IT‘s Private Cloud or Hybrid Cloud solutions may be more appropriate.Â
Migration to Shared Cloud
Moving to shared cloud from on-premises systems requires careful planning to avoid disruption.
Flux IT manages the full migration process — assessing your current workloads, designing the target environment, migrating data and services, and training your team on the new platform — with a go-live plan built around minimising impact on your operations.Â

Shared Cloud FAQs
Is my business data safe on a shared cloud platform?
Yes.
In a managed shared cloud environment, your data and applications are logically isolated from other users on the same physical infrastructure.
Platforms like Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 use enterprise-grade encryption, rigorous access controls, and advanced security protocols to ensure that only authorized members of your organization can access your data.
Flux IT further enhances this by managing your identity protocols, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and security hardening.
Can we easily move to a private or hybrid cloud if our needs change later?
Absolutely.
One of the primary benefits of the shared cloud is its inherent flexibility.
Because these environments are built on standardized architectures, scaling up to a private cloud or integrating with on-premises hardware for a hybrid model is a structured process.
Flux IT manages the lifecycle of your infrastructure, ensuring that your cloud environment can evolve as your security, performance, or compliance requirements grow.
