Our Migration Approach: From Holistic Assessment to Go‑Live

A detailed discovery sets the stage: we catalog applications, data flows, networks, and infrastructure to map dependencies and reduce surprises during the migration process.

Holistic assessment and prioritization

We combine Rackspace’s cataloging with a Well‑Architected Review to classify workloads by value, readiness, and risk.

Target design and consumption modeling

We design landing zones and security architecture that match business objectives, then estimate consumption using tools and benchmarks to model TCO and ROI.

Validation, cutover, and optimization

Validation includes rehearsals, integrity checks, and rollback plans so go‑live is measured and safe.

• Wave plans, runbooks, and change windows for predictable system transitions.
• Automation and controls embedded in pipelines to keep security and compliance repeatable.
• Documentation of the resulting architecture so your teams can operate and audit with confidence.

After cutover, we tune cost and performance, align governance, and capture quick wins so the business realizes value quickly and sustainably.

The Right Strategy for Every Workload

We match each workload to a practical modernization path so teams move quickly without sacrificing future flexibility. Our approach uses five core choices—Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, and Retire—to align technical effort with business value.

Rehost, replatform, refactor: we evaluate speed, risk, and long-term value and select the best path per application.

Repurchase and retire: where SaaS accelerates capability delivery we recommend repurchase; when assets add no value we retire them to unlock savings and simplify support.

Start with a meaningful pilot to validate tooling, runbooks, and team readiness. A focused pilot creates a repeatable reference and reduces downstream risk.

We document scope, testing, rollback, and acceptance criteria for each workload and standardize decision criteria so owners choose consistently across platforms.

Strategy	When to use	Primary benefit
Rehost	Low change tolerance, quick cutover	Speed to value
Refactor	High modernization need, long-term payoff	Performance and scalability
Repurchase/Retire	SaaS fits requirements or asset is obsolete	Lower ops cost and savings

Cost Efficiency, Performance, and Time-to-Value

Clear cost controls and delivery automation together compress time-to-value while preserving reliability. We act on evidence: Flexera finds roughly 35% of enterprise cloud spend is wasted, often much higher without controls.

Our approach ties rightsizing to delivery so teams realize measurable savings and better system performance during the migration process.

Rightsizing, autoscaling, and workload placement

We rightsize compute and storage, enable autoscaling, and place workloads where they run best, reserving capacity for steady demand and choosing serverless for spiky patterns.

CI/CD and DevOps automation to accelerate releases

We implement mature CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling to shorten cycle times, reduce release risk, and improve consistency across environments.

Performance engineering for resilient, high-availability systems

We design for high availability with multi-AZ deployments, caching, async processing, and observability to detect issues early and cut mean time to recovery.

• Instrumented operations: observability tools for proactive management.
• Cost guardrails: budgets, alerts, and tagging to curb waste.
• Testing in the migration process: performance baselines and automated remediation to prevent regressions.

Cloud Migration Timeline and Investment Ranges

We translate scope and complexity into actionable timelines that stakeholders can trust. Below we show typical durations, budget bands, and the drivers that shape both time and cost.

Typical durations: from simple apps to complex workloads and DWH

Simple applications often move in roughly two to two-and-a-half months.

Medium and complex applications commonly extend to six months or longer, depending on integrations and refactoring needs.

Data warehouse (DWH) projects range from about two to eight months, driven by data volume, ETL work, and parallel run requirements.

Cost ranges and factors: scope, complexity, data volume, environments

We estimate investments using method (rehost vs. refactor), workload complexity, data size, platform features, and number of environments.

• Application budgets commonly span $20,000–$250,000 for medium to large efforts, refined after discovery.
• Mid-size company DWH migrations typically fall between $140,000–$280,000 for 500–1,000 employees.
• Larger enterprises often see DWH ranges of $280,000–$700,000, depending on integrations and scale.
