Migration

Cloud Migration

Cloud Migration process of moving data, applications, and workloads from an on-premises infrastructure or a traditional data center to a cloud-based infrastructure.

Cloud migration process of moving data, applications, and other workloads from on-premises systems or other cloud environments to a new cloud platform. Cloud migration can be a complex and challenging process, but it can also bring many benefits, such as increased scalability, flexibility, and cost savings.

What's involved

How we approach Cloud Migration

  • 01

    Planning and Assessment

    Before beginning a migration, it's important to carefully plan and assess the current environment and the target cloud platform. This can include identifying which workloads to migrate, assessing the current state of the data and applications, and determining the necessary resources and timelines.

  • 02

    Data Migration

    This involves moving data from the current environment to the new cloud platform. This can include extracting data from on-premises systems, transforming it to match the target cloud platform's requirements, and loading it into the new system.

  • 03

    Application Migration

    This involves moving applications from the current environment to the new cloud platform. This can include re-architecting the application to take advantage of cloud-native features, testing the application in the new environment, and deploying it to the new cloud platform.

  • 04

    Network and Security

    This involves setting up the network and security infrastructure necessary for the new cloud environment. This can include configuring firewalls, load balancers, and other network components to ensure that the new cloud environment is properly secured and can access the required resources.

  • 05

    Testing and Validation

    This involves testing the migrated workloads and data to ensure that they are working as expected, and that the performance and security of the new cloud environment meet the requirements.

  • 06

    Ongoing Management and Optimization

    After the migration is complete, it's important to continue to monitor and optimize the cloud environment. This can include monitoring performance and costs, and making adjustments as necessary to ensure that the environment continues to meet the organization's needs.

How we work

Eight steps from
assessment to
steady state

The same sequence on every engagement, so you always know what happens next.

  1. 01

    Assessment

    A senior engineer reviews your infrastructure, pipelines, cloud spend and security posture.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Findings become a written plan — risks, waste and quick wins, in plain English.

  3. 03

    Prioritize

    We agree what gets fixed first, based on impact rather than what is easiest to start.

  4. 04

    Execution

    Pipelines, infrastructure as code, monitoring and hardening land while your team keeps shipping.

  5. 05

    Test

    Every change is validated in a real environment before it touches production.

  6. 06

    Optimization

    Right-sizing, spend governance and performance tuning once the baseline is stable.

  7. 07

    Operate

    We run it day to day — incidents, patching and releases — with a named engineer on call.

  8. 08

    Monitor

    Continuous metrics, logs and alerting, with monthly cost and performance reporting.
