Cloud Migration & Optimisation
We plan and execute cloud migrations that move your on-premise or legacy infrastructure to modern cloud platforms safely — with detailed migration planning, risk management, zero-data-loss strategies, and post-migration optimisation that realises the full cost and performance benefits of cloud.
What We Deliver
Cloud Migration Capabilities
From lift-and-shift to full application refactoring — migration strategies matched to your workload, timeline, and risk tolerance.
Migration Assessment & Strategy
Cloud readiness assessments covering your application portfolio, dependencies, data volumes, compliance requirements, and business constraints — producing a detailed migration plan with phased approach, risk register, and business case.
Lift-and-Shift Migration
Fast, low-risk migration of existing workloads to cloud infrastructure (IaaS) with minimal modification — preserving current architecture while achieving cloud hosting benefits, then optimising post-migration.
Re-platforming & Modernisation
Migrating workloads to managed cloud services (PaaS): databases to RDS/Cloud SQL, servers to container services, batch jobs to serverless — reducing operational overhead while staying migration-safe.
Application Refactoring for Cloud
Deep modernisation: decomposing monoliths into microservices, adopting serverless patterns, implementing event-driven architecture, and rebuilding data layers for cloud-native performance and scalability.
Database Migration & Synchronisation
Zero-downtime database migration strategies using change data capture, dual-write patterns, and parallel running — migrating from Oracle, SQL Server, or on-prem MySQL/PostgreSQL to managed cloud database services.
Post-Migration Optimisation
Right-sizing compute, implementing auto-scaling, configuring reserved instances, refining backup strategies, and applying Well-Architected Framework best practices after migration to maximise cost and performance gains.
How We Work
Our Cloud Migration Process
From portfolio discovery to post-migration optimisation — a phased, risk-managed approach that avoids big-bang cutovers and data loss.
Portfolio Discovery
Cataloguing all applications, databases, dependencies, integrations, and compliance requirements — producing the complete picture needed for safe migration planning.
Migration Strategy & Roadmap
Selecting the migration approach (lift-and-shift, replatform, or refactor) for each workload, defining the sequence, and estimating effort, timeline, and risk for each phase.
Landing Zone Setup
Establishing the target cloud environment: account structure, networking, IAM policies, security controls, and monitoring before any workloads are moved.
Phased Migration Execution
Migrating workloads in planned waves: starting with lower-risk applications to validate the process, then progressively migrating business-critical systems with full testing at each stage.
Cutover & Validation
Coordinating the final cutover for each workload: traffic switching, DNS updates, data validation, and acceptance testing — with rollback procedures pre-tested and ready.
Post-Migration Optimisation
Right-sizing, reserved capacity planning, auto-scaling configuration, and Well-Architected reviews in the 30–90 days after migration to realise the full cost and performance benefits of cloud.
Why SharpLogic
Why organisations choose us for cloud migration
Migration specialists
Cloud migration is a high-stakes, complex programme. Our team has executed migrations across industries and scales — from single applications to full data centre exits.
Zero-data-loss planning
Rigorous data migration strategies, validation checklists, and rollback procedures that ensure no data is lost or corrupted during migration — regardless of data volume or complexity.
Risk-managed approach
Phased migration, parallel running, feature flags, and DNS-level traffic switching to manage risk at every stage — not a big-bang cutover that puts your business at risk.
Cost savings delivered
Post-migration optimisation is built into every engagement — we don't just move your workloads, we ensure you realise the cost benefits that justified the migration.
Industries We Serve
