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| Repurchase/Retire | SaaS fits requirements or asset is obsolete | Lower ops cost and savings |
Cloud Platforms and Capabilities We Support

- Standardize identity, networking, and observability to lower variance.
- Implement tagging, cost allocation, and policy enforcement that scale across providers.
- Plan to avoid vendor lock-in by favoring portable patterns where practical.
| Provider | Key Capabilities | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| AWS | MAP, Well‑Architected, cost tools | App lift, cost optimization |
| Azure | Hybrid integration, Expert MSP controls | Enterprise apps, hybrid workloads |
| Google Cloud | Data accelerators, analytics | Data warehousing, ML |
Security, Compliance, and Governance by Design
We design security controls that travel with your workloads so risk is managed from day one.
Data protection and access control are core to our approach, combining ScienceSoft’s ISO 27001-based ISMS with platform-native tools and policy automation.
We enforce encryption at rest and in transit, centralized identity and least-privilege policies across each cloud environment, and we validate these controls through continuous testing and hardened pipelines.
Compliance readiness and policy-driven operations
We build controls for HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and FedRAMP into templates and evidence packages so audits are repeatable and straightforward.
Rackspace Fabric enables standardized tagging, monitoring, and governance while Intellias-style access controls and encryption preserve data integrity during migration and afterward.
- Policy-driven management to standardize resources and alerting.
- Automation and guardrails to reduce misconfiguration and account risks.
- Training, runbooks, and support that scale with your business needs.
| Control | Provider/Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity & Access | Central IAM + least-privilege | Limit unauthorized access |
| Encryption | Platform KMS & application keys | Protect data at rest and in transit |
| Governance | Rackspace Fabric & policy engine | Tagging, monitoring, and audit trails |

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.
- We protect schedules with staged readiness, rehearsed cutovers, and prioritized dependency sequencing.
How we improve predictability
- Reserve specialists when needed and balance internal resources across waves.
- Use playbooks from our cloud migration services to standardize execution and reduce rework.
- Refine estimates iteratively as discovery yields more accurate data.
| Scope | Typical Duration | Estimated Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Simple application | 2–2.5 months | $20,000–$75,000 |
| Medium/complex application | 6+ months | $75,000–$250,000 |
| Data warehouse (mid-size company) | 2–8 months | $140,000–$280,000 |
| Data warehouse (large enterprise) | 4–12 months | $280,000–$700,000 |
