Migration Planning & Relocations

Our subject matter experts (SMEs) have migrated 500,000+ business-critical workloads and applications. We specialize in executing migration projects without the high costs, downtime and risks commonly associated with data center migrations. Our team uses both proprietary and open-source tools to ensure all phases of the application and workload migration are completed in accordance with any technical and business requirements. As always, our cutover project dashboards provide complete visibility and enable businesses to monitor their migration at any phase.

There are various migration methodologies, depending on the overall data center strategy. We detail each migration wave by bundling the appropriate applications, infrastructure and support requirements needed to move to the target destination. The target can be a public and private cloud, colocation or managed service.

Creating the migration plan allows us to:

Mitigate risk and minimize any downtime
Custom migration bundles based on business dependencies
Create a device shutdown and startup schedule for every migration event
A playbook for migration team members
Real-time risk analysis and updates as the project progresses

We make sure stakeholders and decision-makers have a pulse on the project status at all times, which guarantees a smooth migration that’s on time – every time.
