Adoption plan
Cloud adoption and migration planning
An inventory, a cutover plan and a clear after
Make a migration decision with an inventory, a transition plan and a clear definition of what must work after the move.
What we can scope
For businesses assessing a move to AWS, Azure or DigitalOcean, or reviewing the deployment of an existing cloud workload.
Workload review
Workload and dependency review
Target platform
Migration scope for AWS, Azure or DigitalOcean
How the work is planned
-
Assess the present environment, the business reason for moving and the constraints on the transition.
-
Agree a target approach, a validation checklist, a rollback plan and responsibilities for the cutover.
-
Plan migration in manageable steps and confirm application checks and operational ownership after each step.
Bring a brief we can quote
- An inventory of applications, databases and storage
- Known dependencies, acceptable downtime and business-critical dates
- Access ownership, budget and current backup arrangements
Questions before you start
Can a migration be completed without downtime?
Downtime depends on the workload and migration approach. Ask for an agreed cutover window and rollback plan; no zero-downtime promise is made here.
Will moving to cloud lower our costs?
That needs a workload-specific comparison of hosting, storage, data transfer, licensing and operations. Share current usage and costs for a useful assessment.
