Cloud infrastructure and migration
Moving what should move, keeping what should stay, and knowing the difference before you spend.
The problem
Things we hear in the first call.
“We moved to the cloud and the bill went up, not down.”
“Half our systems are hosted, half are in the closet, and nothing agrees with anything.”
“The server is out of warranty and nobody wants to touch it.”
What we do
Assessment and plan
A dependency map of what runs where, a recommendation per workload, and an order of operations that does not break the business.
Migration execution
Lift, re-platform, or leave alone. Each workload moves inside a defined window with a rollback that has been tested.
Cost control
Right-sizing, committed-use discounts, storage tiering, and a monthly review so the bill stays explainable to finance.
Identity and network foundation
Single sign-on, conditional access, private networking, and segmentation established before workloads land on top of them.
Resilience
Backup and restore measured against a stated recovery target, then proven by an actual restore.
Handover
Diagrams, admin access, and runbooks handed to your team, written so the next engineer can follow them.
How an engagement runs
Durations are typical for a company of 10 to 250 people. Scope is confirmed before anything starts.
Assess
Inventory, dependencies, licensing, and the constraints nobody wrote down. Output is a disposition per workload.
Design
Target architecture, identity and network foundation, cost model, and the migration sequence.
Migrate
Workloads move in waves, lowest risk first. Each wave has a window, a test plan, and a rollback.
Optimize
Tune sizing and storage against real usage, close out old hardware and licenses, and set the monthly cost review.
What you get
Documents and access you keep, whether or not the engagement continues.
- Current and target architecture diagrams
- Workload disposition table with rationale
- Migration runbook for each wave
- Tested restore evidence
- Cost baseline and monthly review format
- Administrative handover pack
Common questions
The one that fits your applications, your licensing, and the skills you can hire for. We take no vendor commission, so the recommendation is made on those grounds and written down with its reasoning.
For most workloads, a planned window outside business hours. Some systems move with no interruption; a few genuinely cannot, and we tell you which those are during assessment rather than on the night.
Sometimes, and we will say so. Where your team has the skills but not the time, we plan and supervise while they execute, which costs less and leaves the knowledge in-house.
Hardware still under warranty and doing useful work is usually worth keeping until it is not. A hybrid end state is a legitimate answer, not a failure to finish.
Not always, and we will not promise it. Moving a workload unchanged usually costs more than the server it replaced; the saving comes from retiring hardware, right-sizing, and dropping licenses you no longer need. We model that before you commit, and we show the assumptions.
