Cloud migration - flexible, independent and for every environment

Cloud migration can take place in many ways: from a host change (migration between hosting providers), to a platform change (for example from on-premise servers to a cloud computing environment), to a factor change where existing applications are optimized for the cloud. Which strategy is ultimately used does not matter to us.
We work with all common platforms and cloud providers, regardless of your current hosting provider. Regardless of whether your data, applications or IT processes are to be migrated - our aim is to transfer your systems securely and efficiently to a future-proof environment.

Which type of cloud is most suitable for your company?

 
Which cloud computing environment is best for your company depends on your individual requirements. Below we present the differences so that you can make the best choice for your company.

Private cloud

The private cloud offers companies a dedicated environment that provides more control and security than public cloud models. It is particularly suitable for companies with special requirements in terms of data protection, compliance and customized IT architectures. By using a private cloud, companies retain full control over their resources and can optimally adapt their environment to internal processes.

A key advantage of the private cloud is its cost efficiency. For companies planning for the long term, it can be a cheaper alternative to the public cloud. In addition, users often benefit from shorter support response times, as many private cloud providers offer specialized customer service. The ability to flexibly scale infrastructure and services ensures a future-proof IT environment.

However, private clouds are often less versatile than public clouds. The range of services can be more limited and companies are tied to more fixed frameworks. As a result, the choice of services and functions can be more limited than with large hyperscalers. We will be happy to find out in a personal consultation whether a private cloud is the optimal solution for your company or whether a different architecture is more suitable.

Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid clouds combine the advantages of public and private clouds and are particularly suitable for companies with individual requirements. It is ideal if part of the infrastructure is to remain on-premises in a private cloud, while certain services, such as a feature like sending SMS from a hyperscaler, are used from the public cloud. A hybrid cloud also offers maximum flexibility in transition phases, such as a migration to the cloud.

A key advantage of hybrid clouds is their versatility. Companies can keep sensitive data and critical applications locally or in a private cloud and at the same time access the scalability and wide range of services offered by public clouds.

However, this flexibility also brings challenges. The administrative effort is higher, as several contractual partners and different platforms often have to be coordinated. In addition, higher latencies can occur when systems from an on-premise network access cloud services. Administration and rights management in a hybrid environment also require careful planning and extensive expertise.

However, one disadvantage of public clouds is that their size makes them a popular target for hacker attacks. In addition, the providers charge well for their extensive services and often only pay off once the project reaches a certain size and complexity.

The providers of the public clouds meet the strictest security requirements, including comprehensive ISO certifications such as ISO/EC 27001. Your data is encapsulated as required, stored redundantly and protected by state-of-the-art technologies to prevent data loss or unauthorized access.

Public cloud

Public clouds such as Azure, AWS or Google offer the highest levels of security, scalability and availability - and are completely flexible in the pay-as-you-go model. You only pay for what you actually use. Specialized cloud services enable fast setups, automatic backups and ensure that your data is always available and protected.

Phases of cloud migration

Cloud migration is a multi-stage process that requires careful planning and implementation. From the initial analysis to the ongoing support of your new environment, we work systematically and efficiently to ensure a seamless migration. The individual steps are outlined below.
Slide 1 of 6

  • Workshop

    In an initial workshop, we work with you to analyze the challenges posed by your current infrastructure and the goals you want to achieve with cloud migration. We clarify how we can best support you and lay the foundations for a successful migration.

  • Requirement Engineering

    In this phase, we define the exact requirements for your new cloud infrastructure. We take both technical and operational aspects into account to ensure that the new environment is perfectly tailored to your needs.

  • Detailed conception

    Based on the defined requirements, we develop a detailed concept for your migration. We plan every step precisely to ensure a smooth transfer of your data, applications and processes.

  • Preparation of the new target infrastructure

    Before the migration starts, we set up the target environment and configure it according to your requirements. We use state-of-the-art technologies such as Infrastructure as Code and configuration management tools such as Terraform and Ansible to build a scalable and future-proof infrastructure.

  • Migration

    During the migration phase, we transfer your data and applications to the new cloud environment. We carry out extensive functional tests to ensure that everything works perfectly before you accept the new infrastructure.

  • Maintenance and management

    After the successful migration, we can take over the maintenance and management of your new cloud environment on request. With our managed services, we ensure that your infrastructure remains secure, up-to-date and optimally available at all times.

Advantages of cloud migration

Icon of a banknote

Low operating costs

Cloud migration brings numerous advantages that go far beyond simply modernizing the infrastructure. One of the biggest plus points is the elimination of technological and physical maintenance, as this is handled entirely by the cloud provider. This saves time and resources and reduces operating costs in the long term.

Cost optimization

Another advantage is cost optimization. With flexible billing models such as pay-as-you-go, you only pay for the resources you actually use. At the same time, you benefit from the inherent scalability that allows you to quickly expand or reduce your infrastructure as required.

Circular icon with a stylized sun

Sustainability & safety

The cloud is also more climate-friendly, as leading providers are increasingly converting their data centers to renewable energies. In addition, there are enhanced security measures and compliance standards that guarantee you maximum data security and reliability.

Modernization

With a cloud migration, you modernize your IT landscape and create the basis for shorter development cycles and more efficient processes. Thanks to better management and monitoring tools, you can keep an eye on your infrastructure at all times and benefit from maximum flexibility.
