Migration Day
Workloads everywhere. One Azure blueprint out.
One complimentary day with your IT leaders and architects to agree why you are migrating or modernizing, which workloads lift and shift (IaaS) and which modernize to containers or PaaS, and the Azure architecture that gets you there. Anchored to Microsoft's Cloud Adoption and Well-Architected Frameworks.
Six artifacts, all aligned to you.
Migration / Modernization Objectives
Why migrate / modernize, in your words: business drivers, exit dates, compliance constraints, and the measures of success.
Migration / Modernization Assessment
Your data centers, other clouds, systems, apps, and data captured, with a disposition for each workload: rehost, replatform, refactor, rebuild, replace, retire, or retain.
Azure Architecture Design
Subscriptions, network topology, connectivity, and where each system lands: a new landing zone designed, or your existing one enhanced against the Azure Landing Zone reference architecture.
Governance Recommendations
Identity, Azure Policy, security, HA / BC / DR, monitoring, and cost controls, checked against the five Well-Architected pillars.
High-Level Roadmap
Waves sequenced by dependency and value, the first wave scoped, owners named, next step booked.
Cost & Funding Snapshot
Indicative Azure run-rate for the first wave, Hybrid Benefit and reservation levers, and the Microsoft funding path.
Five blocks. Roughly 9 to 4, with a working lunch.
Discover
Your goals and their drivers: cost, risk, contract or lease exits, AI readiness. The current estate surfaces: data centers, AWS or GCP, VMware, apps, databases and data, plus dependencies and hidden costs.
Rationalize
Each workload gets a disposition: lift and shift to VMs or Azure VMware Solution, containerize on AKS, or move to PaaS such as App Service and Azure SQL. New apps and data are shaped cloud-first. The first wave emerges.
Design
Your Azure architecture, a new landing zone or your existing one enhanced: subscription hierarchy, hub-and-spoke or Virtual WAN network, ExpressRoute or VPN connectivity, and where each system lands.
Govern
The controls the platform must meet from day one: Entra ID and RBAC, Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, availability zones with Backup and Site Recovery for HA / BC / DR, Azure Monitor, and cost guardrails.
Act
Waves sequenced, the roadmap agreed in the room with owners named, costs and Microsoft funding lined up, and the next step, an Azure Migrate assessment or Migration Hub Accelerator, booked.
