A Customized Migration Solution to Ensure Success.
Your IT director just told you that he’s done “a couple” cloud migrations. We’ve done 300 this month alone.
Architecting for the cloud takes time, expertise and planning. Migrating to the cloud can be an even bigger challenge – which is why organizations trust HOSTING’s Advanced Solutions team. We plan, implement and test the movement of business-critical data and applications into the new cloud-based architecture – freeing up internal IT resources to focus on other initiatives.
Because each organization has a unique set of business requirements, we never cut a solution from a cookie-cutter template. Our customized migration services include project management, risk management and progressive schedules to ensure expectations are met and success is achieved – the first time.
HOSTING’s proprietary Cloud Migration Framework is customized to each organization’s individual IT landscape.
Synchronization — We secure the transmittal of data to HOSTING without any changes to the source environment. Although HOSTING’s cloud experts have done thousands of migrations without a single rollback, we ensure that rollback remains available throughout the process.
Monitoring — We continuously monitor the implementation to ensure that there is no impact to business-critical production environments.
Testing — Once an organization’s environment is 100% synched to the target environment, we provision full and dedicated access for final testing and analysis. Upon achievement of customer satisfaction, we coordinate the final cloud migration cutover schedule.
Cutover — Using automated scripts to eliminate human error, data is typically “live” in less than 60 minutes.

We have a professional service capability that will plan, implement and test the movement of your data and your applications into your customized cloud.
So there are basically fourtypes of migrations that we do.
We can move data, we can move SQL databases, we can also do VM image migrations, and we can also do Linux migration.
And the nice thing about this is we have a proven methodology for doing this.
We do this kind of thing all the time, as opposed to a typical company that would only do this once. So we have depth of experience.
We can both reduce the risk and the time.
And, also, we have the resources that can do this.
So if you don’t have extra staff with time on their hands – which is the case most businesses – we can provide the people to help execute the migration.
Transition Statement: So that’s migration. Once we have the environment set up and we have all the data and applications ready to go, the next step is to turn it on and to manage the entire system.
