What's Included

Cloud migration services cover seven capabilities mapped to a factory methodology rather than ad-hoc per-server execution. Application discovery uses AWS Migration Hub, Azure Migrate, or GCP Migrate with automated dependency mapping and migration-readiness scoring per workload. Migration factory execution runs parallel workstreams — infrastructure, database, and applications — with dedicated cutover engineers and rehearsal cutovers validating procedures before production. Cloud migration consulting is packaged separately for clients who want a decision-ready plan with 7-R classification, target architecture, and funding application before committing to delivery. Database migration uses AWS DMS, Azure DMS, Google Cloud DMS, and native replication with cross-engine schema conversion (Oracle to PostgreSQL, SQL Server to Aurora). Application modernization runs alongside migration where it adds business value. MAP funding access offsets AWS migration costs. Hypercare and transition deliver 30 days of enhanced support after cutover.

04

Near-Zero-Downtime Cutover

Rehearsed cutover procedures with parallel-run validation, DNS-based traffic switching, rollback triggers, and automated health checks. Production cutovers executed during IST maintenance windows with minimal business impact.

05

Database Migration

Homogeneous and heterogeneous database migrations — Oracle to PostgreSQL, SQL Server to Azure SQL, on-premises MySQL to Aurora. Schema conversion, data migration, query validation, and performance benchmarking.

06

Post-Migration Optimisation

Right-sizing, Reserved Instance purchasing, security baseline validation, monitoring setup, and application performance tuning on Indian cloud regions. Ensuring migrated workloads are optimised, not just moved.

What You Get

A cloud migration engagement ships ten specific deliverables tied to migration governance and operational handover. Application inventory with dependency mapping and migration-readiness scoring shows what's moving and in what order. The per-workload migration strategy assigns 7-R classification — rehost, replatform, refactor, retire, or retain — and justifies each choice. The cloud landing zone deployment provides the target environment with networking, security, IAM, and monitoring before any workload migrates. Migration runbooks document rehearsal cutover procedures and rollback paths. Database migration includes schema conversion artifacts and parallel-run validation reports. Post-migration performance benchmarks compare against pre-migration baselines. MAP funding application and credit management run alongside delivery for AWS migrations. The 30-day hypercare engagement includes enhanced monitoring and accelerated SLA. FinOps optimization tracking and managed-operations transition documentation close out the project formally.

Our 4-Phase Delivery Process

A cloud migration runs through four phases with explicit deliverables, timelines, and exit criteria. Discovery & Planning (2-4 weeks) inventories every application, maps dependencies, classifies workloads under the 7-R framework (rehost, relocate, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain), builds the wave schedule, and submits MAP funding applications for AWS migrations. Foundation & Landing Zone (2-3 weeks) deploys the target cloud landing zone with networking, security baseline, IAM, monitoring, and CI/CD infrastructure — the production target environment is validated before any workload moves. Migration Execution (4-16 weeks, depending on scope) runs parallel workstreams with rehearsal cutovers per wave, data-validation sign-offs, and production cutover with rollback ready. Hypercare & Optimize (4 weeks plus ongoing) covers enhanced monitoring with accelerated SLA, performance validation against pre-migration baselines, cost optimization, and transition to ongoing managed operations.

What are Cloud Migration Services in India?

Cloud migration services in India are structured programmes that move enterprise workloads from on-premises datacentres to hyperscaler platforms — AWS, Azure, or GCP — with minimal disruption and verifiable cost reduction. Indian enterprises operating infrastructure across Noida, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore face mounting maintenance expenditure, capacity constraints, and compliance obligations under DPDPA 2023 and RBI cloud circulars for BFSI organisations. Opsio delivers cloud migration from its ISO 27001-certified Bangalore delivery centre (Opsio Private Limited), executing wave-based migration planning, parallel-run validation, and rehearsed cutover procedures that virtually eliminate downtime risk. As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner with the AWS Migration & Modernization Competency, Opsio helps eligible Indian enterprises offset part of their migration costs through MAP funding (amounts set by AWS per project), utilising AWS Application Migration Service and DMS targeting ap-south-1 Mumbai and ap-south-2 Hyderabad regions. Azure migrations leverage Azure Migrate targeting Central India and South India regions. The practice covers heterogeneous database modernisation, including Oracle-to-PostgreSQL re-platforming, and post-migration cost optimisation calibrated to INR budgets.

India's Migration Partner from Datacentre to Cloud

Cloud migration services exist because Indian enterprises running workloads in on-premises datacentres across Noida, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore face rising maintenance costs, capacity constraints, and the inability to scale for digital initiatives. On-premises-to-cloud migration unlocks elastic scalability, modern services, and cost optimisation — but migration executed poorly causes extended downtime, data loss, performance regression, and budget overruns. Opsio executes cloud migrations using proven factory methodology — wave-based migration planning, rehearsed cutover procedures, parallel-run validation, and automated testing that virtually eliminates migration risk. As a holder of the AWS Migration & Modernization Competency, we help Indian enterprises access Migration Acceleration Programme funding that offsets part of the initial migration costs, making cloud migration financially compelling.

Our migration practice supports all major target platforms: AWS Mumbai and Hyderabad using MGN and DMS, Azure Central and West India using Azure Migrate and Database Migration Service, and GCP Mumbai. Platform selection is based on your application requirements, existing cloud investment, and Indian data residency needs.

For Indian BFSI institutions, migration requires maintaining RBI-mandated security controls throughout the transition, ensuring zero data loss for financial records, and meeting CERT-In incident reporting requirements during the migration period. Our BFSI migration methodology includes parallel-run validation, rollback procedures, and compliance documentation at every stage.

Application modernisation during migration transforms the business case. Rehosting (lift-and-shift) gets you to cloud quickly; replatforming adds managed services like RDS and ElastiCache; refactoring rebuilds for cloud-native benefits. We assess each application and recommend the optimal strategy based on business value, technical complexity, and your Indian team's readiness.

Our migration assessment evaluates your on-premises environment, estimates cloud costs in INR, identifies MAP funding eligibility, and delivers a detailed wave plan with timeline, risk mitigations, and resource requirements.

Cloud Migration Services in India — FAQ

How does AWS MAP funding work for Indian enterprises?

AWS Migration Acceleration Programme provides funding and credits that offset part of the initial migration costs for qualifying Indian organisations; AWS sets the amount per project. Opsio assesses your eligibility, prepares the MAP application, and manages the funding process. Credits apply to AWS infrastructure consumption during and after migration.

What is the typical investment for cloud migration in India?

Indicative bands in INR, excluding GST and your cloud bill: Discovery & Planning ₹8,50,000–₹25,00,000 (2–4 week engagement); Migration Execution ₹25,00,000–₹1,25,00,000 (full migration, in waves); Post-Migration Managed Ops ₹4,25,000–₹12,50,000/mo (ongoing operations). MAP funding can offset part of these costs; AWS sets the amount per project. Post-migration FinOps right-sizing keeps cloud costs in line with actual utilisation.

How long does cloud migration take?

Small environments (10-50 servers): 4-8 weeks. Mid-market (50-200 servers): 8-16 weeks. Large-scale (200+ servers): 16-24 weeks. Timeline includes assessment, landing zone, wave execution, and optimisation. We can accelerate by running multiple migration waves in parallel once the methodology is proven. For Indian enterprises, timelines account for DPDPA data classification requirements and CERT-In compliance validation. Our India team (Bangalore, Chennai, Gurgaon and Pune) runs IST-aligned project management, and AWS MAP funding can offset migration costs for qualifying organisations.

Can you migrate our Oracle databases to PostgreSQL during migration?

Yes. We combine cloud migration with database modernisation — migrating Oracle to PostgreSQL or Aurora PostgreSQL eliminates expensive Oracle licensing. AWS SCT (Schema Conversion Tool) handles schema translation, DMS migrates data with ongoing replication, and we validate query compatibility. Moving off Oracle licensing is often a major lever in the business case.

How does Opsio ensure near-zero downtime during migration?

Continuous replication keeps cloud and on-premises environments synchronised. Rehearsed cutover procedures are tested in advance. DNS-based traffic switching enables instant rollback. Health checks validate application functionality before and after cutover. Production cutovers during IST low-traffic windows minimise impact. For BFSI, we add parallel-run validation comparing transaction outputs.

How does Opsio handle DPDPA compliance during migration?

Data encrypted in transit during migration using TLS. Landing zone deployed with DPDPA-compliant data residency controls on Indian regions. Access controls maintained throughout transition. Migration activities logged and auditable. No data leaves Indian borders during or after migration. CERT-In incident reporting capability operational throughout.

What happens if something goes wrong during migration?

Every migration wave includes tested rollback procedures. Continuous replication means the on-premises environment remains operational during migration. DNS-based cutover enables instant traffic reversion. Health check failures automatically trigger rollback. In our migration methodology, the ability to rollback safely is a prerequisite before any production cutover begins.

How does post-migration optimisation work?

Immediately after migration, workloads often run on right-sized-for-on-premises instances. We implement FinOps: right-sizing based on actual cloud utilisation metrics, Reserved Instance or Savings Plan purchasing for predictable workloads, spot strategies for fault-tolerant workloads, and storage tiering. Post-migration optimisation brings cloud costs in line with actual utilisation.
