Data Centre Migration
Exiting a data centre or colocation facility on a deadline, with dependencies mapped and cutovers rehearsed.

Cloud Migration
A staged move to the cloud with discovery, wave planning and a rollback path for every step.
Overview
A cloud migration is mostly a discovery exercise with some engineering attached. The systems that cause trouble are never the ones on the list; they are the undocumented scheduled job, the hard-coded IP address, and the integration that only runs at month end.
We inventory everything first, including network dependencies observed from real traffic rather than from documentation. Then we group workloads into waves, starting with the low-risk ones to prove the pattern, and keep the option of rolling back until each wave is genuinely settled.
What you get
Discovery that is complete
Dependencies mapped from observed traffic, not from an out-of-date architecture diagram.
Waves, not a weekend
Workloads move in groups, each proving the approach before the next one starts.
Costs modelled first
A projected run rate before committing, including data transfer and licensing, which is where estimates usually go wrong.
Rollback until settled
Each wave keeps a tested way back until it has run cleanly through a full business cycle.
How we work
- 01
Discover
Full inventory of applications, data, integrations and network dependencies, with owners identified.
- 02
Plan
Each workload assigned a disposition — rehost, replatform, refactor, retain or retire — and grouped into waves.
- 03
Migrate
Waves executed with parallel running where possible, validation at each step, and rollback available throughout.
- 04
Optimise
Once stable, resources are rightsized and the environment tuned against real usage rather than pre-migration guesses.
Common questions
How long does a migration take?
It depends almost entirely on the number of applications and how well they are understood. Discovery is usually three to six weeks, and it determines everything that follows.
Will our costs go down immediately?
Often they go up first. A lift-and-shift carries existing sizing with it; the savings arrive during optimisation, which is why we treat that as part of the project rather than an afterthought.
Can we migrate some systems and not others?
Yes, and that is frequently the right answer. Some workloads have no business case for moving, and "retain" is a legitimate disposition.
Often paired with
Cloud Cost Optimisation (FinOps)
Reduce cloud spend in the right order — visibility, deletion, rightsizing, then commitments.
