“I don’t need a hard disk in my computer if I can get to the server faster… carrying around these non-connected computers is byzantine by comparison.”
- Steve Jobs
Cloud migration is the process of moving data, applications, business elements and workload stored on an organizations IT infrastructure; such as office computers and hard drives, to a virtual pool of on-demand storage, computing and shared network service called the cloud. This eliminates the need for large on-site storage capacity and maintenance.
We understand the toll of being offline to a business and its reputation; how it affects scheduled maintenance and how it results to a delay in the decision to migrate certain business data and information to the cloud. Which is why we help businesses in migrating their systems to the cloud, while ensuring reliable and seamless cloud migration services. We facilitate your cloud migration process and make sure you stay available 24/7 – we do this via the latest technologies such that you barely notice the transmission.
With all the possibilities offered by cloud technology, it becomes difficult to decide which cloud migration approach is best suited to your business. For this reason and based on our customer needs as well as what they value the most, we are able to apply the best approach to swiftly migrate new and existing infrastructure to the cloud. We make sure to do this in a timely manner so as to deliver value in cost reduction, flexibility, agility, control and competitive edge. While at it, we allow the businesses to be closer to the customers, delivering services at the speed of the market demand and diverting the core staff capacities to more in the request on-site tasks.
To achieve a seamless transfer of data and applications from a local, on-premises data center to the public cloud, we employ lift and shift migration. As the name implies, the application is lifted as it is from the on-site computers and servers and migrated to the cloud – a model of migration better known as shallow migration. We manage to make little to no change to your server side infrastructure that resides on the cloud – whereas if any change is implemented, we make sure it does not affect the smooth running of the application and business thereof.
With our tested methodology to cloud migration, we are able to reconfigure a business’s applications such that an application or business element can be modified even during migration to take full advantage of the cloud capabilities available as well as widening the horizon of what the business can benefit via the cloud technology. These modifications can range from auto scaling to server-less computing required to run a business application. However technical the modification needs to be, we guarantee to see your business throughout the process – from inception to the final delivery.
Our in-depth knowledge in data and cloud migration services exposes us to the most recent migration technique. Whatever cloud environment or technique you settle on, we will draw up blueprints for future applications and elements of your business to meet current standards of cloud compliance and take full advantage of cloud technology. We are capable of making any choice of cloud move happen professionally, regardless of its complexity - be it lift and shift, shift to software-as-service (SaaS), application refactoring and re-platforming.
