Our answers to your questions
Cloud migration with Microsoft Azure refers to the process of transferring data, applications and other business elements from a local infrastructure to the Azure cloud environment.
Benefits include scalability, cost efficiency, improved security, high availability, global reach and access to advanced Azure services and technologies.
Lift & Shift refers to the direct transfer of existing applications and data to the Azure Cloud without significant changes to the architecture or code.
Lift & Shift is ideal if you want to benefit quickly from the cloud without making extensive adjustments to your applications. It works well for legacy systems and applications that don't require specialized cloud capabilities.
Benefits include fast migration, lower upfront costs and the ability to immediately take advantage of Azure cloud benefits such as scalability and improved security.
Refactoring involves redesigning and optimizing applications to take full advantage of cloud environments. This can include changes to the code and architecture to make the application cloud-native.
Refactoring is useful if you want to take full advantage of the performance and flexibility of the Azure cloud. It is particularly suitable for applications that are frequently updated or have high scalability and availability requirements.
Refactoring enables better use of cloud resources, increased flexibility, optimized costs, improved performance and the ability to use modern cloud services and functions.
The duration varies depending on the complexity and scope of the project. Lift & shift can be completed in a few weeks, while refactoring can take several months.
A typical plan includes assessing the current infrastructure, selecting the right migration strategy (lift & shift or refactoring), planning the migration, implementation and testing, and continuous optimization after the migration.
The costs vary depending on the complexity and scope of the project. We provide customized offers based on your specific requirements and current IT infrastructure.
