Overview
skie Guardian delivers comprehensive managed services for AWS environments, combining 24x7 monitoring, proactive incident response, and expert cloud operations support from an AWS Well-Architected Partner. Our platform provides real-time visibility into your infrastructure health, automated alerting with intelligent noise reduction, and rapid remediation by certified AWS engineers. Guardian ensures your workloads maintain optimal availability and performance while freeing your internal teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than operational firefighting.

This integration enables our operations team to implement cost optimization recommendations with full change management rigor, ensuring savings are realized without compromising availability.

As an AWS Well-Architected Partner, Guardian goes beyond reactive support to deliver continuous improvement aligned with AWS best practices across all six pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability. Our team conducts regular Well-Architected Reviews, provides remediation roadmaps, and implements improvements through controlled change processes. Whether you're running mission-critical SAP workloads, containerized applications on EKS, or hybrid architectures, Guardian scales with your environment and delivers enterprise-grade operations with the cost discipline that Sage integration provides.
