THE BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Infrastructure Gaps That Slow Your Business

Cloud adoption without the right strategy creates complexity, cost overruns, and security exposure.

On-Premises Costs & Capacity Constraints

Data center leases, hardware refresh cycles, and over-provisioned compute create fixed costs that scale poorly as the business grows.

Risk of Business Disruption

Fear of downtime and data loss during migration causes organizations to delay cloud adoption — extending the period of high cost and low agility.

Lift-and-Shift Delivers No Cloud Value

Simply moving VMs to cloud replicates on-prem costs without cloud economics. A migration strategy must include right-sizing, managed services, and cloud-native patterns.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Cloud Capabilities, End-to-End

Strategy through operations — every stage of your cloud journey covered by certified architects and engineers.

Cloud Strategy & Business Case

Build the financial model, TCO comparison, and phased migration roadmap needed to secure executive approval and set clear ROI expectations.

Azure Landing Zone Design

Design and deploy a governance-ready Azure Landing Zone: management groups, subscriptions, networking, identity, security baselines, and policy guardrails.

Workload Assessment & Sizing

Use Azure Migrate, AWS Migration Hub, and discovery tooling to inventory workloads, assess compatibility, and right-size cloud resources.

Lift-and-Shift Migration

Migrate VMs, databases, and file storage with minimal changes using Azure Site Recovery, Database Migration Service, and AWS Migration Factory patterns.

Re-Platforming & Optimization

Move to PaaS: migrate SQL Server to Azure SQL Managed Instance, IIS apps to Azure App Service, and scheduled jobs to Azure Functions or Batch.

Post-Migration FinOps

Implement Reserved Instances, Auto Scaling, right-sizing recommendations, and cost allocation tagging to deliver the expected cloud economics.

OUR APPROACH

How We Deliver Cloud Migration

A structured, outcome-focused engagement — from discovery through production and beyond.

Discover & Assess

Deploy discovery agents to inventory all on-premises workloads. Assess dependencies, migration complexity, and cloud compatibility.

Plan & Design

Design the landing zone, define migration waves by dependency group, and build the detailed runbook for each workload migration.

Migrate & Test

Execute migration wave by wave. Perform functional and performance testing at each wave. Maintain rollback capability until cutover is confirmed.

Optimize & Operate

Decommission on-prem hardware. Apply FinOps optimizations. Establish cloud monitoring and operations practices.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions About Cloud Migration

Answers to the questions we hear most from enterprise buyers, architects, and decision-makers.

A cloud migration strategy defines how each application in your portfolio will be moved to the cloud. The most common approaches are Rehost (lift-and-shift VMs), Replatform (move to managed PaaS services), Refactor (redesign for cloud-native), and Retire (decommission obsolete apps). Most migrations use all four strategies across different workloads.

For most workloads, we use continuous replication — data is synced to the cloud in real time while the on-premises system stays live. Cutover involves only the final sync delta, typically a maintenance window of minutes. For zero-downtime requirements, we implement blue-green or traffic-shifting cutover patterns.

An Azure Landing Zone is a pre-configured, governance-ready environment that follows Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework. It includes management groups, subscriptions, networking topology (hub-spoke or vWAN), identity (Azure AD/Entra ID), security baseline, and policy assignments — everything your workloads need to run securely from day one.

Migration costs depend on workload count, complexity, and target cloud services. We build a detailed TCO model during the assessment phase. Most enterprises see 25–45% infrastructure cost reduction within 12 months of migration when combined with right-sizing and PaaS adoption.

Yes. We migrate to Azure, AWS, and GCP, and support multi-cloud architectures where different workloads run on different clouds. We also help design the governance, networking, and security model for multi-cloud environments.
