Cloud migration

Move to the cloud in planned, reversible stages.

Assessment, migration and optimisation for applications and data, with testing and a rollback plan at every step.

Why teams call us

Problems this solves

  • 01

    Ageing servers and hardware

    On-premise hardware reaching end of life or support.

  • 02

    Fear of downtime

    Previous moves caused outages or data issues.

  • 03

    Lift-and-shift cost shock

    Copying servers as-is to the cloud sometimes costs more than before.

  • 04

    Unknown dependencies

    Nobody is sure which systems talk to which.

Our approach

Every application gets a deliberate decision: rehost (move as it is), replatform (small changes to use managed services), refactor (redesign for the cloud), replace with a SaaS product, or retire. We map dependencies first, so nothing breaks unexpectedly when it moves.

Migrations run in waves with rehearsals, data validation and rollback plans. After the move we tune sizing and costs, because the first month in the cloud is rarely the cheapest it can be.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Strategy per application and migration waves.

  3. 03

    Migrate

    Rehearsed, validated, reversible waves.

  4. 04

    Optimise

    Sizing, cost and performance tuning.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Ask us

Will the cloud be cheaper?
Not automatically. Savings come from rightsizing, managed services and switching off what is not needed. We estimate costs before migrating and review them after.
How much downtime should we expect?
Most moves need a short planned window or none at all, depending on the application and data. It is agreed in advance for each wave.
Can sensitive data stay in India?
Yes. Major cloud providers have Indian regions, and we design for any data-localisation requirements that apply to you.
