Typical cloud migrations our Azure specialists can help you with — each designed to deliver the right outcome for your business, not just move workloads from one place to another.
Modernise your server infrastructure without starting from scratch. We migrate Windows and SQL Server workloads to Azure, giving you access to advanced features and capabilities while reducing costs.
Moving critical business applications to Azure means better reliability and stronger security. We handle the transfer so your applications work properly in the cloud, not just technically run there.
Your open-source workloads belong on Azure too. We migrate Linux environments and open-source applications, delivering the flexibility and performance you need without vendor lock-in.
Already running VMware? Migrate to Azure VMware Solution without rebuilding your environment. Your existing VMware workloads move to Azure as they are, giving you cloud benefits without the re-architecture headache.
Move your Windows desktops and applications to Azure Virtual Desktop for high availability and scalability. You'll reduce on-premises infrastructure costs while giving users access to their desktop from anywhere.
Not ready to move everything to the cloud? Azure Arc extends Azure management and services to your on-premises and multi-cloud environments, giving you consistent governance and operations across your entire infrastructure.

FAQS
Azure Cloud Migration involves moving applications, data, and workloads from on-premises environments or other cloud platforms to Microsoft Azure. This process can encompass various strategies and methodologies to ensure a seamless transition, optimise performance, enhance security, and reduce costs. Azure provides a comprehensive suite of tools and services to support every stage of the migration journey, from assessment and planning to execution and optimisation.
The duration of an Azure migration can vary greatly based on the size and complexity of the existing infrastructure, the amount of data being migrated, and the specific requirements of the business. On average, a straightforward migration can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Complex migrations involving considerable re-architecting of applications can take longer, sometimes up to a year or more.
The Azure migration journey typically involves assessment, planning, preparation, migration and ongoing optimisation and management.
There are several types of migrations to Azure, including rehosting, refactoring, rearchitecting, rebuilding and replacing.
