How long does cloud migration take?

A typical migration takes 4–12 weeks depending on the size of the system, number of services, and compliance requirements. We run migrations in phases to minimise risk.

Will there be downtime during migration?

We design migrations to have zero or near-zero downtime using blue-green deployments, database replication, and traffic cutover strategies.

Do you migrate databases?

Yes. We migrate SQL and NoSQL databases, implement replication during transition, validate data integrity, and handle the cutover.

Services · Cloud & DevOps

Move to cloud without the downtime

We migrate on-premise systems, legacy hosted infrastructure, and monolithic architectures to AWS, Azure, or GCP — safely, with zero data loss, and without the big-bang cutover risk.

What We Deliver

Capabilities

Everything included in our cloud migration service — from strategy through to production.

📋

Migration Assessment

Full infrastructure audit — costs, risks, dependencies, and a phased migration plan before anything moves.

☁️

Lift & Shift

Move existing workloads to cloud VMs first — fast, low-risk, and immediate cost savings — then modernise.

🏗️

Re-architecture

Containerise with Docker/Kubernetes, move to managed services, and decompose monoliths where it makes sense.

🗄️

Database Migration

Zero-downtime database migrations with continuous replication, cutover windows, and full rollback capability.

🔒

Security Hardening

VPC design, IAM policies, encryption at rest/transit, secrets management, and compliance baseline post-migration.

💰

Cost Optimisation

Right-sizing, Reserved Instances, Spot Fleet, S3 lifecycle policies, and cost dashboards to prevent bill shock.

Delivery Process

How we deliver it

Every phase is timeboxed and has clear deliverables — you always know what's happening and what's next.

Discovery & Assessment Week 1–2

Full inventory of existing infrastructure, dependencies, data volumes, and a risk-ranked migration backlog.

Foundation Setup Week 2–3

Cloud account structure, VPC design, IAM baseline, monitoring stack, and CI/CD pipeline for cloud deployments.

Pilot Migration Week 3–5

Migrate lowest-risk workload first. Validate approach, tooling, and runbooks before the full migration.

Wave Migrations Week 5–12

Migrate workloads in priority waves. Database migrations with continuous replication and tested cutovers.

Optimise & Handoff Week 12+

Cost optimisation, performance tuning, documentation, team training, and phased decommission of legacy.
