On prem to Azure migration
Migrating from an on-premises environment to Microsoft Azure allows businesses to modernise infrastructure, optimise costs, and ensure future-ready operations.
What our on-prem to Azure Migration service involves
Our on-prem to Azure migration service ensures a smooth, secure, and cost-effective transition. We begin with a full assessment of your current environment, including physical servers, Hyper-V, VMware environments, Windows Server, SQL Server, and existing business processes. This cloud readiness analysis informs a tailored migration strategy prioritising workloads that deliver the greatest business outcomes.
Our team then plans and executes the migration, handling virtual machines, web apps, and databases using Azure Database Migration Service, while leveraging Azure hybrid benefit and implementing access control policies, network security groups, and firewall rules to ensure increased security. Test migrations and test failovers guarantee smooth migration with minimising downtime, before fully migrating workloads to the Azure cloud environment.
Post-migration, we optimise your Azure resources, monitor progress with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics, and fine-tune cloud services for performance, cost efficiency, and scalability. Our goal is a successful migration that modernises your existing infrastructure while delivering measurable cost savings and increased scalability.
Benefits of migrating from On-Premises to Azure
Migrating to Microsoft Azure offers multiple tangible and strategic benefits:
Increased Scalability: Quickly scale your Azure resources up or down according to demand.
Enhanced Security: Protect on premises workloads and cloud services with advanced access control policies, network security groups, and Azure Active Directory.
Cost Optimisation: Reduce expenditure on hardware costs, operating systems, and underutilised physical servers by leveraging cloud services and Azure hybrid benefit.
Business Continuity: Implement robust disaster recovery and backup solutions using Azure Site Recovery.
Improved Performance: Use Azure Monitor and Log Analytics to track system health and optimise web apps, virtual machines, and databases.
Future-Proof Infrastructure: Modernise existing applications, migrate workloads to Azure Kubernetes Service, and gain access to new Azure services.
