AWS

We're your end-to-end AWS next-generation managed services provider, dedicated to helping you get the most from your AWS investment and unlock Cloud's full potential.

We've developed the AC3 Cloud services model to simplify complex technologies and enable real business transformation, guiding you through every step of your Cloud journey. Whether you're an existing AWS customer looking for an extension of your internal technical team, or exploring AWS for the first time, we have the expertise to help you move faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.

AWS Managed Services

Managing AWS at scale demands the right processes, tooling, and people operating together around the clock. As an AWS Premier Partner and MSP, AC3 delivers a fully managed Cloud operations model built to keep your environments secure, optimised, and always on. We become an extension of your team, monitoring and responding to events before they become incidents, continuously tuning your environment for performance and cost efficiency, and providing the strategic guidance to evolve your Cloud posture as your business grows. AC3's managed services are underpinned by deep AWS expertise, purpose-built tooling, and a proactive operations philosophy, so you’ll always know what's happening in your environment and why.

Security & Compliance

Built-in security. Not bolted on. Security isn’t a feature that’s added at the end – it’s the foundation everything else is built on. AC3 embeds security-first thinking into every layer of your AWS environment, from architectural structure to the way changes are deployed and monitored over time. Our team maintains continuous visibility over your security posture, responding to threats in real time and ensuring your environments are aligned to compliance frameworks – so you can demonstrate due diligence without the overheads of managing it yourself.

Continuous Posture Management

AC3 monitors your AWS environment around the clock against security best practices, flagging misconfigurations and drift before they become vulnerabilities.

Patch Governance

AC3 manages patching cadence across your AWS environment, balancing urgency, change risk, and business continuity, so your infrastructure stays current without surprise outages.

Compliance Credibility

Whether you need to align to the Essential Eight, IRAP, or industry-specific standards, AC3 has undergone the rigorous assessments required to meet the requirements that matter to your organisation and your auditors.

Threat Detection and Response

Using AWS-native tools, combined with AC3's internal, onshore SOC, we identify suspicious activity and respond rapidly to contain threats before they escalate.

Why Choose AC3?

Not all MSPs are equal. AC3's ANZ-based team brings Premium AWS credentials and genuine operational depth to every engagement.

Local Team, Local Context

Our entire team is based onshore in Australia and New Zealand. We understand the regulatory environment, data sovereignty requirements, and the way ANZ businesses operate.

AWS Premier Credentials

Premier Partner status is earned, not bought. It reflects the number of certified engineers, customer outcomes, and the technical depth AC3 maintains across the AWS platform.

Always-On Operations

AC3's operations centre monitors your workloads around the clock, with escalation paths and on-call engineers ready to respond when it matters most.

Continuous Improvement Model

We don't set and forget. Regular business reviews, architectural guidance, and proactive optimisation ensure your Cloud investment compounds over time.

More ways AC3 supports your AWS journey

Our AWS practice spans the full Cloud lifecycle - from strategy and migration through to modern development and continuous improvement.

Move Smarter. Spend Less.

Migrations & Cloud Modelling

Cloud migration shouldn't mean runaway costs or business disruption. AC3 combines proven migration methodology with rigorous Cloud modelling to build a business case, plan your workload migration, and ensure you realise the financial benefits from day one. From lift-and-shift to full re-architecture, we map the right approach to your timeline, risk tolerance, and budget - then execute it with precision.

Release Faster. Break Less.

DevOps

Great application deployment starts with great engineering practices. AC3's DevOps team helps you build and mature CI/CD pipelines, adopt infrastructure-as-code, and embed automation across your delivery lifecycle on AWS. Whether you're starting from scratch or optimising an existing application, we bring the tools, best practices, and hands-on expertise to accelerate delivery without sacrificing reliability or security.

Build Experiences Customers Love.

Digital Customer Experience (DCX)

Exceptional digital experiences don't happen by accident, they're built. As an AWS Digital Customer Experience consulting partner, AC3 helps you design, build, and scale customer-facing solutions on AWS that are fast, resilient, and personalised. We help you harness AWS's DCX capabilities to differentiate your brand and deepen customer relationships.

Build on Solid Foundations.

Well-Architected Reviews

As an AWS Well-Architected Partner, AC3 conducts thorough reviews to assess your workloads against best practices and identify areas for improvement. More than a simple audit, it is a constructive conversation about the architectural decisions of your organisation, providing core strategies for security, reliability, performance, cost optimisation, and operational excellence.

Greener Infrastructure. Greater Performance.

Graviton Accelerator

AWS Graviton processors deliver a combination of lower energy consumption and higher computational throughput, but realising their full potential takes more than a simple workload migration. AC3's Graviton Accelerator layers our own optimisation expertise on top of Graviton's architecture to squeeze out further gains in efficiency and speed.

Smarter Spend. No Upfront Complexity.

Cloud Commitment Optimiser

Managing Reserved Instances and Savings Plans manually is time-consuming, error-prone, and rarely optimal. AC3's Cloud Commitment Optimiser gives you access to an AWS automated commitment management platform that continuously analyses your compute usage and dynamically adjusts your coverage so you're never over-committed or leaving savings on the table.
