Cloud Migration & ModernisationFuture-proof your enterprise infrastructure.
Escape the limitations of legacy datacenters. We guide organizations through secure, risk-mitigated transitions to Azure and AWS, turning rigid monoliths into elastic, cloud-native architectures.
Lift-and-shift is only the beginning.
Simply moving virtual machines to the cloud often replicates legacy problems in a new environment. True modernization requires re-architecting for scalability, resilience, and cost-efficiency. We help you containerise applications, transition to managed database services, and establish automated CI/CD pipelines that dramatically accelerate your time-to-market.
Sound familiar?
- On-premise hardware is aging, expensive to maintain, and prone to outages
- Scaling infrastructure during peak business periods is slow, rigid, and costly
- Legacy monolithic applications are hard to update, test, and deploy quickly
- Disaster recovery and backup solutions are unreliable or require manual intervention
- Security compliance is difficult to manage across disparate legacy server environments
- Engineering teams spend too much time managing servers instead of writing code
What is included
- Cloud readiness assessment and strategic migration roadmap
- Rehosting (lift-and-shift) of legacy virtual machines and storage
- Refactoring and rearchitecting monolithic apps to microservices
- Containerisation strategy using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS/EKS)
- Database modernisation to PaaS (Azure SQL, Managed Instances, RDS)
- Automated CI/CD pipeline implementation for modern deployments
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) provisioning using Terraform or Bicep
- Cloud security baseline configuration and zero-trust architecture
- Cost optimization (FinOps) and right-sizing of cloud resources
- High availability and disaster recovery (HA/DR) architectures
The Cloud Transformation Journey
From initial strategy and IaaS migration to cloud-native application refactoring and ongoing cost optimisation.
Cloud Strategy & Assessment
Evaluate your current estate, calculate TCO, and build a risk-averse roadmap.
- Comprehensive infrastructure and application dependency mapping
- Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and ROI financial analysis
- Security, risk, and compliance readiness evaluation
- 6R migration strategy (Rehost, Refactor, Rearchitect, etc.)
- Proof of Concept (PoC) deployment for critical workloads
Infrastructure Migration (IaaS)
Seamless lift-and-shift of on-premise servers and virtual machines to the cloud.
- VMware and Hyper-V migrations to Azure Virtual Machines or AWS EC2
- Large-scale file share and object storage data transfers
- Virtual Network (VNet/VPC) design and ExpressRoute/Direct Connect setup
- Active Directory extension and identity synchronization
- Zero-downtime migration planning and cutover execution
Application Modernisation
Transform legacy monoliths into agile, scalable cloud-native applications.
- Monolith-to-microservices architectural breakdown
- Transitioning web apps to Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Serverless computing integration (Azure Functions, AWS Lambda)
- API gateway implementation and legacy interface wrapping
- Modernising authentication flows with OIDC and SAML
Database Modernisation
Migrate traditional relational databases to managed, highly available cloud services.
- SQL Server / Oracle migration to Azure SQL or Amazon RDS
- Transitioning to managed NoSQL services (Cosmos DB, DynamoDB)
- Schema conversion and compatibility remediation
- Automated backup, scaling, and high-availability configuration
- Data replication and minimal-downtime synchronization
Containerisation & Kubernetes
Package applications for supreme portability, rapid scaling, and resilient orchestration.
- Docker image creation and application containerisation
- Kubernetes cluster design and deployment (Azure AKS / Amazon EKS)
- Helm chart development and manifest management
- Service mesh implementation for secure microservice communication
- Persistent volume mapping and stateful set configuration
Cloud Optimisation & FinOps
Continuous alignment of cloud infrastructure to maximize performance while minimizing costs.
- Resource right-sizing based on historical usage metrics
- Reserved Instance and Savings Plan strategic purchasing
- Orphaned resource identification and automated cleanup
- Auto-scaling policies for unpredictable traffic spikes
- Custom FinOps dashboards for department-level chargebacks
Financial Services Group — Complete Datacenter Exit
A legacy financial institution faced mounting hardware renewal costs and compliance risks. We architected a 12-month complete datacenter exit to Azure, lifting-and-shifting core legacy VMs while concurrently modernising their main consumer portal into a containerised, auto-scaling AKS deployment.
