What can run on the private cloud
The choice between SaaS, PaaS and IaaS depends on how much of the infrastructure your team wants to keep managing.
Dedicated servers
Servers for the ERP, SQL Server and remote access, with storage and disaster recovery between data centres.
Private connection to the clouds
Redundant link between the company network and Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, without going over the public internet, from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps.
Storage across several clouds
Company data stored in three different clouds, so that a failure in one does not make it unavailable.
AWS services in Portugal
AWS services running in a data centre in Portugal, with encrypted storage and a choice of which data stays in public or private cloud.
Azure, AWS and Google Cloud
The public clouds, to host applications and data platforms alongside the ERP.
Microsoft 365
Productivity and collaboration as SaaS, with identities and access policies managed by us.
How it compares with the alternatives
There are several ways to move the ERP out of the server room. The difference lies in who is accountable for the infrastructure after migration.
| On-premises server | Public cloud contracted directly | Hosting without operation | Private cloud | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data stored in Portugal | yes | partly | partly | yes |
| No in-house servers to buy and replace | no | yes | partly | yes |
| Disaster recovery between data centres | no | yes | partly | yes |
| Private connection to public clouds, without the public internet | no | partly | no | yes |
| Day-to-day operation with an agreed service level | partly | no | partly | yes |
| The same team is accountable for the ERP and the infrastructure | partly | no | no | yes |
Cases
Clients on the Sevways cloud
Three environments we run today, with three different ERPs.
Griner Engenharia, Angola · SAP S/4HANA
Angolan construction company that moved from Cegid PRIMAVERA to SAP. Since 2023 the SAP environment has run on the Sevways cloud, in a subscription we manage: around 25 virtual machines for production, quality and development, Solution Manager, Active Directory, Power BI and the company's own applications, with replication on the production machines. In August 2026 we coordinated the SAP S/4HANA upgrade, with a change freeze, a full backup and a rollback plan.
Sealing technology company, Luanda · Cegid PRIMAVERA
Dedicated server on the Sevways cloud since 2021, with Cegid PRIMAVERA and SQL Server for the administrative team. Access is VPN-only, through a managed firewall; the server has antivirus, daily backups with one month's retention and 24x7 monitoring. Sevways manages access and provides support, in an ISO 27001-certified data centre.
Natural stone group, Portugal · Sage X3
Sage X3 has run on the Sevways cloud since 2022. When version 2022 R1 required a newer Windows Server, we migrated the ERP to a new server in parallel, without changing how users access it, and kept the old server until sign-off. Later we set up and, at the client's request, retired the Sage X3 People server, with the data archived.
