Azure Migration: Implementation

Cloud migration and modernization are ongoing processes that need considerable organizational change management across people, processes and technology. Here at Cloud 9ine Consulting we can help migrate on-premises servers, virtual machines, databases and web applications to Azure, whilst utilizing a range of native Azure migration tools.

By taking such a comprehensive strategy will not only guarantee that your business achieves new benefits but enable efficiency, agility and scale once your workloads are operating on the Azure Cloud.

As part of this exercise, the teams at Cloud 9ine Consulting will:

Migrate your existing workload into the Azure cloud in three stages:

• Planning

• Implementation

• Operations

Prior to commencement of this migration service, one of our Microsoft certified consultants will perform a complimentary suitability review with your teams, which will consist of a call lasting between 30 minutes to an hour.

The first Planning phase will entail creating a strategy, assessing the environment and successfully communicating with stakeholders to ensure that the execution roadmap is understood.

Following are the steps that will take place:

• Defining a Cloud adoption strategy

• Including and aligning stakeholders

• Engaging the services of a cloud migration

• Planning transition to Azure

• Creating a case study for migration

The second Implementation phase will consist of iterations that entail transferring a piece of workload and describing how the newly migrated task must be processed.

Following are the steps that will take place:

• Prepare for the migration

• Establish the landing zone structure

We will migrate one workload at a time or a small set of workloads each release using an iterative method. With each iteration, we will assist your business in ensuring that workloads are ready to meet production needs by analyzing, moving and optimizing these.

Following are the steps that will take place:

• Gaining visibility and control over the security position
