Migrations go wrong when everything moves at once. We prefer many small moves: map what exists, build the new foundation next to the old one, and move workloads in an order that keeps the business running.
The steps
It starts with an assessment, using read-only access to your accounts and systems: what runs where, what depends on what, and what it costs today. From that we help you choose a target, which can be one of the large clouds, a smaller provider or your own bare metal.
Next comes the landing zone: accounts, networking, access and security baselines, written as code before the first workload arrives. Workloads then move in waves. Each wave has data replication, criteria for deciding whether it worked, and a rollback plan, and we rehearse it before the real cutover.
Where it pays off we also modernize along the way, with containers, managed databases, caching, a CDN and autoscaling in place of one large server.
Afterwards
You end up with an environment built from code that is identical in dev, test and production. We can keep running it for you, as managed operations.
BUGECE moved from a single physical server to a scalable AWS architecture with us.
