Azure Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid as standard; security by design; optimisation that keeps costs predictable
Azure cloud that just works
Unlock the full power of Microsoft Azure with a partner built for the UK mid‑market.
Node4 is both a Microsoft Direct Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) and an Azure Expert Managed Service Provider (MSP), so we plan, build, run and continually optimise your Azure estate end‑to‑end, with one accountable team and a single, joined‑up experience.
We also hold all six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, including Infrastructure (Azure), Digital & App Innovation (Azure), Data & AI (Azure), Business Applications, Modern Work, and Security, giving you a breadth and depth of capability across the Microsoft Cloud that only a few partners can match.
The Node4 Approach
We manage provisioning, support and billing directly with Microsoft, which means faster resolutions, and fewer hand‑offs for your team.
Our Azure operations, people, tooling and processes are independently audited against Microsoft’s highest bar for managed services and re‑verified, so standards don’t slip.
We align to Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework and land the right Azure landing zones, governance and operating model so you can scale safely.
Ongoing visibility, recommendations and right‑sizing to keep performance high and costs predictable underpinned by our Azure Optimisation consulting and managed services.
Security is integrated from day one and operated 24/7, aligned to Microsoft cloud capabilities and best practice.

Marque Group Solutions
Delivering planned, costed and targeted Azure migration
It wasn’t just a case of Node4 setting up the environments and leaving us to it. Their team also played a vital role in guiding our infrastructure team. They explained all the processes and procedures, helping develop in-house skills to run smaller-scale migrations in the future. They pointed out simple, easily overlooked things, like not leaving applications to run unnecessarily and rack up excessive monthly bills.
