Mission-critical technology, done honestly.

Infrastructure, reliability, and security engineering for government and enterprise.


Macanta Solutions assesses, modernizes, and secures the infrastructure that agencies and enterprises depend on. Our work spans cloud and Kubernetes platforms, observability, Zero Trust, and disaster recovery.

Capabilities

Four service lines, one accountable team.

We start by understanding what you run and what it would cost you to lose it. Then we modernize, instrument, and harden it, and either hand it back to your team ready to run or keep running it for you.

01

Infrastructure & resilience assessments

We assess your environment, identify architectural and operational risk, measure resilience against real RTO/RPO targets, and deliver a modernization roadmap you can fund and execute.

  • Architecture and operational risk review
  • RTO / RPO analysis
  • VMware estate and licensing assessment
  • Modernization roadmap
02

Cloud & Kubernetes modernization

We modernize VMware and legacy infrastructure, migrate workloads to private or public cloud, deploy Kubernetes, and automate the result through infrastructure as code and DevSecOps.

  • Azure, AWS, and hybrid cloud
  • OpenShift, AKS, EKS, and self-managed Kubernetes
  • VMware migration
  • Terraform, Ansible, GitOps, CI/CD
03

Observability & SRE transformation

We implement enterprise observability with OpenTelemetry instrumentation and SLO-driven operations, so teams find out about problems before their users do.

  • OpenTelemetry instrumentation
  • Grafana LGTM monitoring platforms
  • SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets
  • Incident management
04

Cyber resilience & disaster recovery

We deliver secure identity infrastructure, PKI, segmentation, high availability, backup architecture, DR planning, and recovery validation. A recovery plan only counts once it has been tested.

  • Zero Trust architecture
  • Enterprise PKI and HSM
  • Immutable backups
  • DR runbooks and recovery testing
Cloud & Kubernetes modernization

VMware migration

If licensing changes have made vSphere hard to justify, we can plan and run the move to the platform that fits your workloads. We work in waves with tested rollback, and backup, DR, and monitoring are in place before the first cutover.

OpenStack

Private cloud at scale: Nova compute, Neutron networking, Cinder on Ceph storage, multi-tenant projects.

Proxmox VE

KVM with clustering, HA, and Ceph or ZFS storage. The most direct replacement for vSphere.

Azure & AWS

Landing zones first, then rehost with Azure Migrate or AWS MGN and right-size after the move.

Kubernetes

Refactor the workloads worth containerizing, or run VMs alongside containers with KubeVirt.

How we run it: Discover → Design → Pilot wave → Migrate in waves → Hypercare and decommission

Disciplines

Depth across the stack.

The engineering disciplines behind each service line.

Cloud infrastructure & modernization

Azure, AWS, hybrid cloud, infrastructure architecture, VMware modernization, Kubernetes (AKS/EKS), Terraform, infrastructure as code.

DevSecOps & platform engineering

CI/CD automation, secure deployment pipelines, Kubernetes operations, platform engineering, continuous ATO evidence.

Observability & SRE

OpenTelemetry, Grafana/LGTM, log and metric management, distributed tracing, SLOs/SLIs, incident management, performance optimization.

Cybersecurity & Zero Trust

Identity and access management, network segmentation, security architecture, infrastructure hardening, secure cloud environments.

PKI & digital trust

Enterprise PKI, certificate authorities, key management, HSM integration, certificate lifecycle automation, PIV/CAC authentication.

Resilience & disaster recovery

HA/DR architecture, RTO/RPO assessments, immutable backups, business continuity, recovery testing.

Managed services

Ongoing infrastructure and platform operations after go-live: monitoring, patching, capacity planning, reliability engineering, and incident response under an agreed service level.

Approach

How we work.

Every engagement is principal-led. A senior technical lead owns the architecture, the risk decisions, and the client relationship from start to finish. Specialist engineers join for each workstream based on scope and timeline, so you always know who is accountable.

The method
  1. 01

    Assess

    Inventory what you run, how it fits together, and what it would cost you to lose it.

  2. 02

    Design

    Agree the target architecture, security, and recovery requirements before anything moves. Platforms are chosen on each workload's merits, not a preferred vendor.

  3. 03

    Pilot

    Prove the approach on representative workloads with measured acceptance and rollback criteria.

  4. 04

    Deliver in stages

    Sequence work by risk and dependency, automate what repeats, and cut over in agreed change windows.

  5. 05

    Stabilize & operate

    Validate service levels, then hand over runbooks, dashboards, and knowledge to your team, or move into a managed service with us.

Ways to engage

Assessment

Fixed scope, fixed fee. A written review of your environment and its risks, with a prioritized roadmap you can fund and execute.

Specialist workstream

We lead a defined part of a larger program, as prime or subcontractor. That might be migration engineering, automation, observability, or PKI.

Advisory

A fractional principal architect for your team. We provide design reviews, standards, and a second opinion on the decisions that are hard to reverse.

Managed services

We keep running the platforms we build or inherit. That covers monitoring, patching, capacity, and incident response under an agreed service level, with clear escalation paths.

About

Founded in Dallas in 2019.

Macanta Solutions LLC is a cloud and infrastructure engineering consultancy. We help government and enterprise organizations design, modernize, and operate private, hybrid, and cloud-native platforms.

Twenty years of enterprise engineering

Our principal has spent twenty years building and running large-scale infrastructure for global companies in Europe and North America. That includes more than a decade in telecommunications, followed by leadership roles in site reliability, observability, and security engineering.

  • Telecommunications. Supported tier-one operators in six countries for a global network-equipment vendor, led onshore and offshore engineering teams of up to 20+, and moved carrier network-management platforms from bare metal to OpenStack.
  • Reliability at scale. Technical lead for observability SRE at a large content platform. Scaled log and metric ingestion fourfold to multi-petabyte scale and delivered seven-figure savings through environment consolidation.
  • Regulated industries. Senior architect for monitoring and analytics infrastructure at a Fortune 25 healthcare enterprise, under strict data-privacy requirements.
  • Production operations. Lead SRE for high-availability IoT systems across multiple Kubernetes clusters. Shortened incident resolution through better alerting and escalation, and built PKI-based device identity.
  • Security. Delivered enterprise SIEM and security-monitoring deployments as a professional services consultant.

That background sets the standard we work to. We plan carefully, automate what repeats, and never cut over without a tested way back.
