Cloud Migration
Move workloads to the cloud safely with proven lift-and-shift, re-platforming, and modernisation strategies.
About This Service
PCCVDI Solutions executes cloud migrations for organisations at every stage of cloud maturity — from the first tentative lift-and-shift of a legacy application to full-scale application modernisation involving container refactoring and microservices decomposition. Our migration methodology follows the 6R framework (Rehost, Replatform, Repurchase, Refactor, Retire, Retain), applied pragmatically based on the business value, technical debt, and risk profile of each workload.
Every migration engagement begins with a Discovery and Assessment phase: we inventory your application portfolio using AWS Migration Hub, Azure Migrate, or CloudEndure, map application dependencies, characterise workload performance baselines, and produce a migration wave plan with sequenced cutover schedules designed to minimise risk. Critical workloads are migrated last, after the team has built confidence on lower-risk applications in earlier waves.
Cutover weekends are meticulously planned with detailed runbooks, parallel-run validation periods, automated smoke tests, and pre-agreed rollback triggers. Post-migration, we deliver a 30-day hypercare engagement covering performance baselining, cost governance setup, security posture review, and knowledge transfer to your internal team — ensuring you own the new environment confidently.
Core Capabilities
Specialist capabilities that make our Cloud Migration practice stand apart.
Migration Assessment & Wave Planning
Inventory and classify your application portfolio, map inter-service dependencies, and produce a phased wave plan with risk-ordered cutover sequencing.
Lift & Shift (Rehost)
Rapidly migrate VMs, databases, and application servers to cloud IaaS using AWS SMS, Azure Migrate, or Velostrata with minimal code change and near-zero downtime.
Re-platforming
Move databases to managed services (RDS, Cloud SQL), application servers to PaaS (App Service, Elastic Beanstalk), and caches to ElastiCache without full refactoring.
Application Modernisation
Refactor monolithic applications into containerised microservices, adopt cloud-native patterns (event sourcing, CQRS), and redeploy on Kubernetes or serverless.
Data Migration & Synchronisation
Migrate terabytes of database and file-system data using AWS DMS, Azure Data Factory, and custom CDC pipelines with validation and reconciliation reports.
Post-Migration Hypercare
Provide 30-day intensive support post-cutover including performance monitoring, cost review, security hardening, and knowledge transfer to the internal team.
Tools & Platforms We Use
Industry-leading technologies vetted and proven in production environments worldwide.
What You Gain
Structured Risk Mitigation
Dependency mapping and wave-ordered cutovers ensure no workload is migrated blind, dramatically reducing the probability of post-migration incidents.
Accelerated Timeline
Automated discovery tools and proven runbook templates compress migration timelines by 40 % compared to manual, ad-hoc approaches.
Immediate Cloud Economics
Right-sized cloud instances, reserved pricing, and autoscaling configured from day one unlock cloud cost benefits from the first month.
Future-Ready Architecture
Modernisation pathways applied during migration position your applications to exploit cloud-native services rather than treating cloud as an expensive data centre.
How We Engage
Discovery
We start with a deep-dive workshop to understand your goals, current stack, and pain points.
Design
Our architects produce a tailored solution design with clear milestones, risk register, and cost estimates.
Delivery
Agile sprints with regular demos, transparent progress tracking, and continuous stakeholder alignment.
Handover & Support
Full knowledge transfer, documentation, and optional ongoing managed service or retainer support.
