Assess

Our cloud experts run an initial workshop to understand your current infrastructure, challenges and goals for the cloud migration. This is followed by a deep-dive infrastructure assessment where we use software tools to analyse the current workloads. From this we are able to build a design of how your business applications would look when migrated to the cloud.

Scope and understand the deployment
Right-size the destination
Choose between lift-and-shift or re-platforming
Review licensing
Review networking and dependencies
Select the optimum migration method

Migrate

Firstly we deliver a details scope of works for the migration to the cloud. Clear expectations of who is responsible for which pieces, expected timescales to complete each stage along with contingency plans as required. Then the team undertake the careful migration of each phase ensuring minimal disruption of business operations. Once migrated, we remove any unnecessary “on-premise” components from each workload to maximise performance.

Build target environment and import data
Confirm successful data import
Enable monitoring and reporting
Patch and update OS and applications
Harden servers
Zero trust approach
Remove legacy 3rd party tools

Optimise

Our team will review your cloud services to monitor for under/over specific workloads, checking scaling up in appropriately configured and limits are in place.
Regular reviews to monitor over-specified workloads, appropriate use of storage accounts, optimum licensing strategy. Recommendations to consider alternative deployment methods to reduce costs e.g. serverless instances.
