Implementation of Microsoft Azure Networking

Implementation of Microsoft Azure Networking is a 4–6 week consulting engagement that takes your Microsoft Azure network from current state to a secure, scalable target design — planned, deployed, and documented by DCG's cloud, identity, and security team.

Built for organizations standing up a new Microsoft Azure footprint, migrating from on-premises infrastructure, or reworking a Microsoft Azure environment that grew organically and now needs structure. We start with discovery, deliver a network design you can defend to security and finance, and stay through implementation and operational handoff.

You finish the engagement with a deployed Microsoft Azure network — segmentation, identity-aware access, monitoring, and governance — plus the documentation and runbooks your team needs to operate it on day one.

What's Included

• Discover — Current-state review, requirements and dependency mapping, risk and gap analysis against your target workloads.
• Design — Target Microsoft Azure network design with segmentation, routing, and hybrid connectivity (VPN or Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute), aligned to the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework.
• Implement — Network Security Groups, Microsoft Azure Firewall, DNS, private endpoints, Microsoft Entra ID and Conditional Access alignment, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud configuration.
• Handoff — Documentation, runbooks, monitoring dashboards, and a roadmap for what comes next.

Customer Outcomes

• A secure-by-design Microsoft Azure foundation with segmentation, identity-aware access, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud alignment.
• A landing-zone-ready network that scales to hybrid and cloud-native workloads.
• Governable, cost-aware operations with clear ownership, monitoring, and an operational handoff.
• A foundation ready for what's next — Azure Virtual Desktop, data platform, AI, and modernization initiatives.

Ideal For

• New Microsoft Azure deployments starting from a clean slate and landing zones.
• Migrations from on-premises infrastructure to Microsoft Azure.
• Reworking organically-grown Microsoft Azure environments that need cleanup.
• Organizations strengthening segmentation, governance, and posture.
• Hybrid and Microsoft 365 connectivity scenarios — on-premises to Microsoft Azure to Microsoft 365.
• Teams preparing the foundation for Azure Virtual Desktop, data platform, or AI initiatives.

Why DCG

DCG focuses exclusively on the Microsoft ecosystem — deep specialization across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Microsoft Power Platform. Our network and security work covers Network Security Groups, Web Application Firewalls, Microsoft Entra Application Proxy, Microsoft Sentinel, monitoring, and disaster recovery — across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. We pair design with hands-on implementation, so you get a working environment at the end of the engagement, not a slideware roadmap.

Engagement model: 4–6 weeks, scoped during discovery. Contact DCG to schedule a discovery conversation.
