Frequently Asked Questions

How do you ensure zero data loss during migration?
We use controlled migration mechanisms with checksums, validation scripts, and parallel verification. Data is validated at source and destination before cutover. Rollback procedures are tested and ready if any discrepancy is detected.
What is the typical downtime during migration?
Our phased approach minimizes downtime to hours, not days. Critical systems use parallel run strategies where both environments operate simultaneously. Final cutover typically happens during low-usage windows with rapid rollback capability.
Can you migrate legacy applications that aren't cloud-ready?
Yes. We assess each application and recommend the appropriate strategy: rehost (lift-and-shift), replatform (minor modifications), refactor (cloud-native), or retain on-premises with hybrid connectivity.
How do you handle compliance requirements during migration?
Compliance is built into every phase. We map regulatory requirements upfront, ensure data residency compliance, maintain audit trails throughout migration, and validate security controls before go-live.
What cloud platforms do you support?
We primarily specialize in Microsoft Azure but also support AWS, Google Cloud, and hybrid/multi-cloud architectures. Our methodology is platform-agnostic with Azure-specific optimizations.
How long does a typical cloud migration take?
Timeline depends on scope and complexity. Small workloads can migrate in weeks, while enterprise-wide migrations typically span 3-12 months. We provide detailed timelines during the assessment phase.
