Cloud Migration
Migrate with minimal downtime
A structured approach to assessment, planning, cutover, and ongoing operations.
Migration phases
What we deliver
Cloud migration requires careful planning and execution across multiple phases to minimize risk and downtime.
Assessment & discovery
Inventory applications, dependencies, data volumes, and integration points. Identify risks, compliance requirements, and migration complexity for each workload.
Architecture & design
Network connectivity, security controls, and platform selection. Design for resilience, scalability, and cost optimization in the target environment.
Cutover execution
Orchestrated migration with defined rollback procedures. Staged moves with validation checkpoints to reduce risk and maintain business continuity.
Post-migration operations
Stabilization, performance tuning, and operational handoff. Ongoing optimization and support as teams adapt to the new environment.
Migration strategies
Common migration approaches
Rehost (Lift & shift)
Move applications to cloud infrastructure with minimal changes. Fastest approach but may not take full advantage of cloud capabilities.
Replatform
Make minor optimizations during migration to leverage cloud services. Balance between speed and modernization benefits.
Refactor / Re-architect
Redesign applications to be cloud-native. Highest effort but maximizes scalability, resilience, and cost efficiency.
Hybrid approach
Mix strategies based on workload characteristics. Mission-critical apps may warrant refactoring while others can be rehosted.
Key considerations
What makes migrations successful
Network connectivity
Adequate bandwidth for data transfer and ongoing operations. Direct connections or VPN tunnels to minimize latency and security exposure.
Cutover windows
Clearly defined maintenance windows with stakeholder communication. Rollback plans if issues are detected during or after cutover.
Data synchronization
Strategies for keeping data current during migration. Minimize synchronization lag to reduce cutover downtime and data loss risk.
Testing & validation
Functional, performance, and security testing in the target environment. Validate integrations and user acceptance before final cutover.
