Alemba Cloud Services – Powered by Microsoft Azure
Secure, scalable, ITIL-aligned service management in the cloud.
Why Choose Alemba Cloud for Azure-Powered Cloud ITSM?
Alemba Cloud provides a hosted ITSM solution built on Microsoft Azure that tackles top enterprise concerns, security, compliance, performance, and time-to-value.
Every customer gets an isolated tenancy and a dedicated database, so your data is never shared with others. Combined with an ITIL-compliant pre-populated database, you avoid lengthy setup times and get real service desk functionality from day one.
Alemba: Leading the Way on Security and Compliance
Alemba Service Manager (ASM) runs on Microsoft Azure, leveraging a cloud platform with one of the broadest portfolios of independent security and compliance certifications in the industry. Azure’s controls and audited practices underpin ASM with rigorous, internationally recognized standards, including:
- ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management
- ISO/IEC 27017 and 27018 for cloud and privacy
- SOC 1/2/3 attestation reports
- CSA STAR
- PCI DSS for payment data
- Healthcare frameworks such as HIPAA/HITRUST
For the public sector and regulated industries, Azure also supports high-assurance regimes (e.g., FedRAMP in the US) and aligns to UK guidance and frameworks, helping customers meet NCSC expectations and UK GDPR obligations. Combined with Azure’s built-in encryption, network segmentation, advanced threat protection, and regional data residency options, ASM on Azure delivers a secure, compliant, and resilient foundation for ITSM at enterprise scale.
Data Sovereignty: Your Choice
Running each customer in an individual Azure tenancy (separate Azure AD/Entra ID tenant and subscriptions) delivers strong security isolation and clear legal/data boundaries, which are essential for data sovereignty.
Geographic control & sovereignty
Data is deployed only in the customer-approved Azure regions, ensuring residency and locality controls align with national or sector rules.
Clear legal separation
A dedicated tenancy creates a distinct controller/processor boundary, simplifying DPAs, FOI/FOIL responses, and cross-border transfer assessments.
Security blast-radius reduction
Identities, policies, keys, networks, and logs are isolated per tenant—incidents cannot laterally spread across customers.
Customer-managed cryptography
Support for per-tenant keys (CMK/BYOK, including HSM) and optional double-encryption keeps customers in control of encryption and key lifecycle.
Policy & compliance autonomy
Per-tenant Azure Policy, Blueprints/Landing Zones, and RBAC enforce customer-specific standards (e.g., logging, retention, tagging, MFA, PIM) and enable independent audits.
Network sovereignty
Per-tenant VNets, Private Link, and firewall rules restrict ingress/egress and pin services to in-region endpoints only.
Observability ownership
Dedicated Log Analytics/SIEM (e.g., Sentinel) workspaces, storage accounts, and retention policies ensure telemetry and evidence remain in-region and under customer control.
Operational independence
Change windows, backup/restore, DR tiers, and patch cadence are set per customer without compromise.
Exit & portability
Clean separation of identities, data, and resources simplifies export, handover, or in-sourcing without co-mingled assets.
Per-customer tenancy provides the strongest practical assurance that your data stays where you choose, under your keys, policies, and audits.
Core Features & Benefits of Our Cloud-Based ITIL Solution
- High Availability & Disaster Recovery: Built on Azure with multi-AZ resilience, geo-redundant replicas, immutable backups, and defined RPO/RTO targets for fast, predictable restores.
- Security & Compliance by Design: Per-tenant isolation, end-to-end encryption (at rest/in transit), optional customer-managed keys, Azure Policy/Blueprints, and audit-ready logging aligned to leading standards.
- Integration & Modern Tooling: Native connectors for Entra ID, Intune, Teams, and Azure DevOps; event/webhook + REST APIs; and an integration platform to link monitoring, asset, finance, and automation tools.
- ITIL-Aligned Out of the Box: Preconfigured Incident, Request, Change, Problem, and Availability with SLAs/OLAs, knowledge, and service catalog to accelerate time-to-value and reduce configuration effort.
- Observability & Governance: Centralized telemetry to Log Analytics/Sentinel, role-based access, least-privilege defaults, and policy-driven controls for consistent operations.
- Data Residency & Sovereignty: Deploy to customer-approved Azure regions with strict data locality, private networking (Private Link), and egress controls.
On-Premises and Private Cloud: Your Alternative ITSM Deployment Options
On-Premises ITSM Deployment
Run ASM entirely in your own data centre for maximum control and sovereignty. All data, logs, and keys stay on your systems; access is governed by your policies. This option suits organisations with strict regulatory needs, air-gapped networks, or deep on-prem integrations. You set backup, DR, patching, and change windows to match your governance.
Private Cloud ITSM Deployment
Host ASM in your private cloud (e.g., your Azure/AWS subscriptions or a managed hosting partner) for cloud flexibility without shared, multi-tenant platforms. You choose the region for data residency, keep tenant-level isolation, and apply your security standards (MFA, network controls, encryption). Connect via VPN/Private Link and integrate with your existing ERP/HR/IT tools while your ops team—or a partner—manages the runtime.
A Microsoft Azure Partner: Why Alemba Cloud Stands Out
- Security: Defence-in-depth with Entra ID (SSO, Conditional Access, MFA), encryption in transit/at rest, optional customer-managed keys, Private Link, Microsoft Defender, and audit-ready logging for enterprise protection.
- Sovereignty: Dedicated tenancy and in-region deployment keep data resident where you choose, with geo/backup policies, egress controls, and clear legal/operational separation.
- Interoperability: Native integration with Entra ID/AD, Intune, Microsoft Teams, and Project Online—plus Graph, webhooks, and REST APIs—to plug into existing directories, devices, collaboration, and PMO tools.
