Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our cloud migration services
How do you minimize downtime during migration?
We employ multiple strategies including blue-green deployments, database replication with near-zero RPO, phased cutover approaches, and comprehensive rollback plans. Most migrations achieve less than 4 hours of planned downtime, with many achieving zero downtime through careful planning.
What happens to our existing data center contracts?
We help you navigate existing commitments by creating migration timelines that align with contract renewals and negotiate favorable exit terms when possible. Our financial models account for overlapping costs during transition periods.
How do you ensure data security during migration?
All data transfers use encrypted channels, and we implement strict access controls throughout the migration process. We maintain chain of custody documentation and validate data integrity at every stage with automated checksums and reconciliation.
Can you migrate applications we don't have source code for?
Yes, we have extensive experience migrating COTS applications, legacy systems, and applications where source code is unavailable. Our rehosting approach can lift these workloads while our discovery tools map dependencies without code access.
