CLOUD MIGRATION SERVICES

Migrate to Cloud.
Without Breaking
What Works Today.

We move legacy systems — SQL Server, Oracle, on-premise apps — to AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. With parallel running, data validation, and zero-downtime cutover. Production stays up. Reports keep running. Your team sleeps at night.

Parallel run. Validate. Cut over. Production never stops.

OUR APPROACH

Four Phases. No Surprises.

Every migration follows the same de-risked approach. You see what's happening. You sign off at each phase gate.

1

Discovery & Assessment

We map every system, dependency, and data source. Identify what's safe to migrate now, what needs refactoring, what should stay on-prem.

2

Architecture & Plan

We design your target cloud architecture, choose between lift-and-shift vs re-platform vs re-architect for each component, get sign-off on the plan.

3

Build & Parallel Run

Cloud environment built. Data replicated. Apps deployed. Both old and new run side-by-side for 2-4 weeks. Validate, validate, validate.

4

Cutover & Decommission

DNS cutover. Old systems retired on a defined schedule. Knowledge transfer. Optional 30-day post-launch support window.

At every phase gate, you decide whether to proceed. We never push to the next phase until you've signed off on the current one. No surprise scope creep. No "we built it, please pay." If we're not ready, we don't move.

What We Migrate

From legacy systems to modern cloud-native services. Old to new, safely.

Database Migrations

Move legacy databases to managed cloud equivalents. Schema conversion, data replication, application connection updates.

SQL Server / OracleAWS RDS / Aurora

Application Migrations

Lift-and-shift apps to cloud VMs, or re-platform to managed services and containers. Decision is per-app.

On-Prem VMsEC2 / GKE / ECS

File & Object Storage

Move file shares, document repositories, archives to cloud object storage with proper lifecycle policies.

NAS / SANS3 / GCS / Azure Blob

Email & Collaboration

Exchange to Office 365 or Google Workspace. Mailbox migration, calendar, distribution lists, security policies.

Exchange ServerOffice 365 / Workspace

Mainframe Modernization

COBOL / AS/400 / mainframe to cloud. Refactor where viable, encapsulate where not. Multi-year journey, phased.

AS/400 / MainframeCloud Microservices

Networking & Security

VPC design, hybrid networking, identity migration, firewall and security group setup. The plumbing that makes the rest work.

HOW WE DE-RISK MIGRATION

The Risks That Keep You Up At Night — Solved.

Migrations fail in predictable ways. Here's how we plan around each one.

Risk

Data Loss

Critical data corrupted or lost during migration. Reports show wrong numbers. Customer records vanish.

Our Answer

Multi-Layer Validation

  • Row-level data parity validation pre-cutover
  • Hash-based integrity checks on every batch
  • 30-day retention of source data after cutover
Risk

Production Downtime

Migration takes the system offline. Customers can't transact. Sales drop.

Our Answer

Parallel Running

  • New system runs alongside old for 2-4 weeks
  • DNS-based cutover (rollback in <5 minutes if needed)
  • Off-hours cutover windows planned with your ops team
Risk

Cost Overrun

Cloud bill comes in 3x estimate. Workloads sized wrong. Surprise data egress fees.

Our Answer

Cost Modeling Upfront

  • Detailed monthly cost forecast in Phase 2
  • Right-sized resources, reserved instances where viable
  • Egress and data transfer costs called out explicitly
Risk

Application Compatibility

Legacy app doesn't run on cloud. Hidden dependencies break. Hardcoded IPs everywhere.

Our Answer

Discovery Before Build

  • Phase 1 dependency mapping flushes hidden assumptions
  • Lift-and-shift vs re-platform decision per-app
  • Staging cloud environment for compatibility testing
Risk

Team Knowledge Gap

Your team doesn't know cloud. After we leave, they can't operate it.

Our Answer

Knowledge Transfer

  • 5-day knowledge transfer with your ops team
  • Runbooks, architecture diagrams, escalation paths
  • Optional 30-day post-launch handholding
WALK THROUGH A REAL MIGRATION

On-Premise SQL Server → Cloud-Native

A common path for mid-sized enterprises. Here's how we'd plan it.

Starting Point

On-Premise SQL Server

A 6-year-old SQL Server cluster running the company's order management, customer DB, and reporting workloads. Hardware refresh due. Maintenance window costs increasing. Reports slow at scale.

  • SQL Server 2017 Enterprise
  • Windows Server 2019 cluster
  • On-prem SAN storage
  • SSRS reporting layer
  • 2 Application servers (.NET Framework apps)
Pain Points
  • Slow reports during peak hours
  • $80K+ annual SQL Server licensing
  • Hardware refresh quoted at $200K+
After Migration

Cloud-Native AWS Architecture

Modern, managed, scalable. Same data flowing through better infrastructure. Apps modernized in phases — not big-bang.

  • AWS RDS for SQL Server (managed)
  • EC2 + Auto Scaling for app servers
  • S3 for backups + archive
  • Power BI replacing SSRS reports
  • CloudWatch monitoring + alerts
Wins
  • Reports 3x faster (RDS + read replicas)
  • Predictable monthly bill, no hardware refresh
  • Disaster recovery in 4 hours instead of 4 days

This is an illustrative path — not a specific past client. Your migration plan is tailored in Phase 1 discovery to your actual systems and constraints.

Is This The Right Fit For You?

We're upfront about who this service serves best — and who should look elsewhere.

Great Fit

Organizations Ready to Modernize

For teams with established systems that need to move — but can't afford to break what works.

  • Organizations with aging on-premise infrastructure due for refresh
  • Companies hitting licensing renewal walls (SQL Server, Oracle, VMware)
  • Teams with hybrid environments wanting to consolidate
  • Businesses needing better disaster recovery and uptime
  • Mid-market to enterprise with $50K+ migration budgets
Not the Right Fit

When to Look Elsewhere

Honest about when this isn't the right service.

  • Greenfield builds with no existing systems — start cloud-native, no migration needed
  • Small businesses (under 20 employees) — modern SaaS tools cover most of what you need
  • Organizations in active acquisition / merger — wait until org structure stabilizes
  • Teams looking for staff augmentation only — we deliver fixed-scope projects
