What Is Cloud Migration?
Cloud migration is moving your digital operations—such as applications, data, and IT processes—from on-premise infrastructure to cloud-based platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
This transition can involve:
Rehosting (Lift and shift)
Refactoring (Updating apps for the cloud)
Replatforming (Making minor changes for compatibility)
Rebuilding (Developing apps from scratch in the cloud)
Every business has a unique migration journey. Our consultants help you choose the approach that fits your needs and ensures a smooth transition with minimal risk.
Our Cloud Migration Consulting Process
At Silex Cloud Solutions, we follow a structured yet flexible approach to ensure your migration is efficient and aligned with your business goals.
1. Cloud Readiness Assessment
We begin by understanding your current IT environment. This includes evaluating your hardware, software, data storage, and user requirements. We identify which components are ready for cloud migration and which may need updates or replacement.
2. Strategy and Planning
Once we assess your setup, we create a clear migration roadmap. This includes timelines, budgets, cloud providers, security protocols, and contingency plans. Whether you’re moving a single app or your entire infrastructure, we tailor the strategy to your business.
3. Cloud Platform Selection
Choosing the right cloud provider is key. We help you compare major cloud platforms and select the best one for your use case—considering performance, cost, compliance, and scalability.
4. Migration Execution
We manage the full migration process—from data transfer and application movement to system configuration and testing. Our goal is to avoid disruption and ensure business continuity during the transition.
5. Post-Migration Support
After the migration is complete, we provide ongoing monitoring, troubleshooting, performance tuning, and user training to ensure everything runs smoothly.
