Data center migrations are among the highest-risk projects an IT organization can undertake. With disciplined planning, they can also be among the most rewarding.
Start With Discovery
You cannot migrate what you do not understand. Build a complete inventory of applications, dependencies, and data flows before moving a single workload.
Choose the Right Migration Strategy
- Rehost (lift-and-shift) for speed and low risk
- Replatform to gain cloud-native benefits with modest change
- Refactor for workloads that need to scale elastically
- Retire or retain systems that no longer earn their keep
Migrate in Waves
Sequence workloads into waves with clear validation gates and rollback plans. Automated verification at each step keeps downtime near zero and prevents data loss.
