Overview

What this means for your business

We plan and run migrations in carefully sequenced waves, so your business keeps running while workloads move. Once in Azure, we modernise applications and data onto platform services that are easier to scale, secure and maintain.

FAQs

Common questions

Will there be downtime?

We plan cut-overs to keep downtime to a minimum, usually outside business hours, and test every workload before and after it moves.

Should we rehost or modernise?

Often both: rehost first to exit a data centre quickly, then modernise the applications that will benefit most.

Can you migrate from VMware?

Yes. We can move VMware workloads to Azure VMware Solution or convert them to native Azure virtual machines.
