Legacy systems and on-premises infrastructure face certain limitations when it comes to scaling and can hinder the growth of a business. Some of the drawbacks include increased costs associated with maintenance, risk of data loss, and extra IT support. Cloud migration, on the other hand, provides numerous benefits like increased scalability and flexibility, improved performance, and accelerated innovation all paving the way for sustained business growth.

As your strategic cloud migration partner, we do an extensive analysis of your current infrastructure, business goals, and requirements. We then get on with analyzing the most suitable migration plan and creating a roadmap for achieving a seamless transition that provides sustained value.

Downtime can be one of the major challenges during cloud migration and may occur depending on some factors, including workload complexities, application dependencies, and data synchronization. With strategic planning and execution, taking suitable technical measures, and using cutting-edge tools, we aim to manage downtime and reduce its impacts efficiently.

Rehost Commonly called 'the lift and shift approach', rehosting is migrating applications from on-premises to the cloud without making any changes to the application. For instance, if you are considering moving from the traditional server, all you have to do is pick the application within it, with the other necessary software, and install it within Amazon EC2, followed by deployment.

 Replatform Replatforming, or the lift, reshape, and shift strategy, involves incorporating the necessary changes to achieve optimization without changing the core application architecture. Making adjustments improves the application's performance.

‍Refactor This strategy is about rewriting the code to rebuild the application to take advantage of the cloud offerings. Businesses that need applications compatible with the cloud can go for refactoring. Here, the entire architecture transforms to adapt to the cloud environment.

‍Repurchase Repurchasing is where we move applications to another product, mostly a SaaS platform in the cloud provider's marketplace. For example, you may be managing firewalls manually when using on-premises systems. You can then use AWS Firewall Manager if you have decided to migrate to the AWS cloud, thereby taking the complexities out of managing firewall rules.

Retire Retaining, as the name implies, is keeping some applications in the on-premises environment and not migrating them to the cloud. The reasons for retaining can be incompatibility with the cloud environment, app complexities, or compliance to keep the application on-premises.

We have vast experience helping many customers migrate from on-premise infrastructure and other cloud service providers successfully, and realize the potential of AWS. With our comprehensive framework, we cover all the critical aspects- mitigating risks, ensuring operational continuity, accuracy in budgeting to avoid cost overruns, and more. You can rest assured we address your concerns and ensure optimal performance of your workloads in the cloud environment with our best practices.

There are certain deciding factors like the complexities of the workload, IT infrastructure, and the chosen migration strategy that greatly influence the timeline for cloud migration. So it can be anywhere from a few weeks to months. A complete assessment of the current infrastructure, outlining goals, and creating a detailed plan will help us estimate the time.
