Critical Cloud is the trust layer for AI operations. We operate, secure, and govern the stack your AI runs on, 24/7, powered by Datadog.
Delivered by Critical Support, our 24/7 DevOps and SRE managed service. The world's first and only Powered by Datadog accredited MSP.
We operate, secure, and govern the stack your AI runs on. We never touch your app, your model, or your business logic. That boundary is what makes us a trustworthy, impartial layer: we have no agenda over your product, so we can stand behind whether your operations are sound.
Agents are good at the labour: root-cause analysis across telemetry no human can hold in their head, surfacing correlations, drafting fixes. What does not automate is ownership of the outcome. A human evaluates the plan, weighs the context the agent lacks, and stays accountable for accuracy, trust, and compliance.
Around 75% lower than building an in-house team. This is budget reallocation, not net new spend: the cost of recruiting, paying, tooling, and rota-ing an internal team for 24/7 cloud operations, redirected into a managed service that already runs at that standard.
We operate cloud platforms using Datadog to deliver unified observability across infrastructure, APM, logs, traces, security signals, cloud cost insight, and LLM monitoring.
Our services are grouped simply around how we deliver that outcome: Cloud Managed Services, Datadog expertise, and AI infrastructure.
Cloud
AWS and Azure platforms designed for modern and AI-driven workloads, using infrastructure as code, least-privilege access, and deep observability.
Datadog
Implementation, optimisation, and managed Datadog, delivered by engineers who operate Datadog as the backbone of our own cloud managed services.
AI
AI infrastructure on AWS and Azure, plus AI Factory deployments to accelerate adoption all built with human-in-the-loop controls, auditability, and cost guardrails.
Many traditional cloud MSPs rely on locked-down proprietary monitoring that prioritises provider efficiency over customer insight, exposing a one-size-fits-all view and keeping customers dependent.
Critical Cloud takes a different approach: bespoke managed services built on Datadog, the industry-leading observability platform. Every Critical Support customer has direct access to their own Datadog environment, with full-fidelity visibility across infrastructure, APM, logs, traces, security signals, cloud cost insight, and LLM monitoring, tailored to their AWS and or Azure architecture.
Datadog is embedded into our 24×7 operational model, driving real-time alerting, faster diagnosis, and disciplined incident response, so issues are detected early, understood in context, and resolved decisively.
A simple model that keeps operations calm: establish clear signals, respond fast, then improve the platform every month.
Instrument the platform
Set Datadog foundations: tagging, dashboards, alert hygiene, SLOs and ownership so the signals are trustworthy.
Operate 24×7
Incident ownership with clear escalation. Fast diagnosis, controlled remediation, and structured communication.
Improve continuously
Monthly engineering to reduce repeat incidents, strengthen security posture, and control cloud cost.
Datadog-powered cloud managed services for AWS and Azure, combining 24×7 incident management with improvement engineering.
Shared responsibility: you keep ownership of your apps, data, and decisions. We operate and improve the platform.
Adopt Datadog cleanly, reduce alert noise, and keep your observability estate healthy as you scale.
We use Datadog to give your AI workloads full visibility, LLM observability, agent tracing, GPU monitoring. And we use Datadog's own AI to run your cloud operations leaner and faster.
Datadog for AI
LLM and agent observability, quality evaluation, and GPU fleet monitoring- so your AI is observable, evaluated, and cost-controlled in production, not just working on your machine.
AI for Datadog
We run Datadog's Bits AI SRE, Watchdog, and Security Analyst inside our managed service- so our engineers arrive at incidents with context gathered, not a blank screen.
A fast way to build trust: what changed, what improved, and how we work.
OPX: Driving observability with Datadog
Datadog underpinned Azure migration, delivering visibility, faster response, proactive monitoring.
CETA: Getting more from a Datadog trial
