Cloud & Email Migrations
Cloud migration is the process of moving your business’s data, applications, and workloads from on-premise infrastructure or legacy systems to cloud-based environments.
This move can involve everything from migrating software applications, emails, databases to fully integrating your business operations into a cloud platform.
The goal of cloud migration is to leverage the benefits of the cloud, such as increased scalability, flexibility, security, and cost savings, while minimising disruption to your operations.
Types of Cloud Migrations
Every business has unique needs and objectives when it comes to moving to the cloud. Understanding the different types of cloud migration can help you choose the right approach for your organisation:
Rehosting (Lift and Shift): Moving applications or workloads from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud with minimal changes. This is often the quickest migration option.
Replatforming: Making a few modifications to your existing applications to optimise them for the cloud, without fully rearchitecting them.
Refactoring: Rebuilding or redesigning applications to take full advantage of cloud-native features such as microservices, serverless computing, and auto-scaling.
Hybrid Cloud Migration: Moving some parts of your infrastructure to the cloud while keeping other parts on-premises. This approach is ideal for businesses with complex or regulatory requirements.
Cloud-to-Cloud Migration: Transferring data, applications, or services from one cloud environment to another, typically when switching providers or optimising your cloud portfolio.
