Let’s start with the basics. To define it simply, the term ‘cloud migration’ refers to the process of moving your business’s data, email and applications to a cloud computing environment.

Often, this entails moving the data from a legacy, on-premise IT infrastructure to the public cloud. This legacy infrastructure is usually outdated, unreliable and takes up space, but can also hinder a business’s growth and agility.

In other instances, cloud migration could involve a business moving away from one cloud provider to another, such as migrating an application from AWS services to Azure.

What do we mean by Cloud Migration Services?

Cloud migration services refer to the way in which businesses are moving to the cloud and the products used to get there.

Cloud providers themselves (such as Azure, AWS and Google) all offer tools and services to help migrate your workloads and applications. However, many businesses who lack the technical skills prefer to enlist the help from IT partners.

These cloud migration services take away the uncertainty and pain of moving your assets by offering a bespoke, thorough solution. Your IT partner will handle the timescale, budget and services within your migration for you, all while minimising downtime and disruption to your business.
