Data Center Migration Services We are Highly Specialized
Our specialists help you migrate your information and data from one data center to another, depending on the situation and your business goals. Below we present those in which we specialize.
Migration and consolidation
The process of reducing the number of physical data centers or servers can be accomplished through platform migration and consolidation. The migration of consolidated resources is often initiated with acquisitions, mergers, the requirement to reduce costs, or the implementation of virtualization solutions.
Migration with placement or relocation
A relocation or migration involves moving infrastructure from one data center to another. This is usually required in cases where the old cloud provider is unable to meet the new needs of the company.
Migration from the local data center
When you migrate to the cloud, everything from software and hardware to operating systems and workloads have to been moved to a new cloud provider. Changing a local data center into a cloud-based one usually helps companies optimize costs and expand the functionality of the existing solution.
Hybrid migration
Hybrid cloud data center migration combines elements of both traditional and modern migration models. These challenge arise when a company has both cloud and on-premises resource. When a company wants to increase its resiliency and continuity, hybrid migration is often the best option.
Our Data Center Migration Stages
The process of upgrading a data center is complex and time-consuming. We perform the following stages to get the best results in our data center migration process.
Definition of business needs and preparation
Companies may need some preparation for the migration procedure: analysis of the existing applications, identifying their weaknesses, as well as determining the business goals they want to achieve through the services of cloud providers. These aspects enable us to end up with a solution that complies with industry standards and meets the expectations of our clients.
Choosing the cloud provider
At this stage, we compare the business needs and features of our client's network infrastructure with the capabilities offered by leading cloud vendors and choose the best option. Thus, our clients never overpay for services they don't really need.
Migration procedure
After we have completed all the preparatory steps, we will implement the migration of the data center. Depending on the complexity of a particular solution, we either perform a big bang migration or split this process into several stages to eliminate downtime in your business processes.
Testing and validation
After the migration procedure is completed, we test the updated solution in the field and make sure that it functions as it was originally intended. In case of inconsistencies, we perform the necessary alterations so that in the end you get an efficient network infrastructure.
Benefits of Our Data Center Migration Services
IT Outpost has the best data center migration experts. Let’s find out what benefits you will get from cooperation with us.
Less operating costs
As the cloud services become more practical, more organizations are moving to solutions based on them. At the same time, the cost of solutions placed in the cloud is less than their local hosting, because companies have to pay only for the resources they use.
Modern hardware and software
Data center migration to the cloud ensures that your business data is processed and stored with the most advanced software and hardware. This gives companies additional confidence in their security and high operational speed.
Boosted performance
Migrating to a cloud platform provides companies with the ability to leverage high-speed processing, which can reduce the amount of delay experienced by the digital solutions they use. Thus, they increase the speed of their workflows at a minimal cost.
Better protection from threats
Confluence data center migration allows companies to achieve better compliance with industry and corporate security standards through cutting-edge business data protection mechanisms (for example, based on machine learning) used by leading cloud providers.
Increased scalability
The need for scalability is one of the main drivers of cloud migration. Thus, by moving to the cloud, companies can get more sophisticated infrastructure and services without a large financial investment.
