Cloud and Server Migration for One Application
Cloud and server migration moves one application, its database and its files onto new infrastructure. The whole move is rehearsed on a copy before anyone is asked to switch.
What usually forces a move
- An ageing office machine that a power cut or flooding can stop
- A hosting provider closing, raising rates or dropping your plan
- A virtual server bought years ago that no longer carries today’s load
- Two systems that must be merged after an acquisition
How the move is carried out
Cut-over inside an agreed window
Both systems run side by side before anybody switches. Your staff check their screens, reports and printing on the copy. The cut-over then happens in a window agreed with your customers, with a defined point to roll back to.
Frequently asked questions
Can our application keep running during the migration?
Yes, until the cut-over. The new environment is built and loaded alongside the old one, and only the final switch needs a quiet window.
What decides lift-and-shift or re-platforming?
It depends on the urgency and the state of the code. A provider closing soon points to lift and shift. A planned move can also replace a self-run database.
What if something behaves oddly after we switch?
The old environment stays intact and reachable for an agreed period. Rolling back is then a decision and not a rebuild.
Who owns the new environment afterwards?
You do. It is created in your own cloud account from the start. It is not transferred later.
