Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Migration?
Azure Migration is the process of moving data, applications, and other business elements from an on-premises data centre or different cloud environment to Microsoft’s Azure cloud. This process, when managed properly, minimises downtime, optimises workloads, and promotes scalability and modernisation.
How can Azure Migration Services benefit my business?
Our Azure Migration Services can transform your business operations by moving your workloads to a cloud-based environment. This means you’ll get greater scalability, lower costs, enhanced security, and a load of new productivity tools. Azure’s enterprise-grade solutions can support all kinds of digital transformation initiatives, improving your firm’s resilience and creativity in the modern world of work.
What Does the Migration Process Involve?
Your cloud journey typically starts with a cloud migration assessment of your current IT infrastructure and dependencies. Then comes planning the migration methodology, executing the migration with minimal downtime, and post-migration monitoring and support. It also involves ensuring your apps are compatible with the Azure environment and optimising them for best performance. When you make use of cloud migration services with an Azure partner like Synextra, this process is handled for you.
What Types of Migrations Does Azure Support?
Azure supports various types of migrations, such as Data Migration, Database Migration, and IaaS migration. For example, you can move your SQL Server databases to Azure using the Azure Database Migration Service. For partial migrations, Azure’s Hybrid Cloud solutions allow you to maintain a balance of on-premises and cloud-based workloads.
What is your approach to migrating applications to Azure?
Every application in your estate can benefit from its own cloud migration strategy. We recommend the 5 Rs framework to help you make the right choice for each workload:
- Rehost (lift and shift): Move your workloads as they are with minimal changes.
- Replatform: Make small tweaks to use Azure services, like moving your database to Azure SQL.
- Refactor: Completely rearchitect your application for the cloud.
- Repurchase: Sometimes it’s smarter to swap your old application for something new.
- Retire: Here’s the one everyone forgets—sometimes the smartest move is to switch something off entirely.
One size never fits all. The key is making deliberate choices rather than defaulting to lift and shift for everything.
Can Azure Migration Help with Cyber Security?
Yes, Azure cloud migration can enhance your organisation’s cyber security. Microsoft Azure offers a range of security services and tools designed to protect your cloud environments, including your data and apps. Azure’s rock-solid security measures are compliant with many international and industry-specific regulatory standards, and you’ll benefit from real-time data analysis to monitor your security status.
How does Azure Migration Contribute to Cost Savings?
Joining the Microsoft Azure cloud means you’ll only pay for what you use; a more flexible and cost-effective solution than maintaining on-premises servers. The savings aren’t just in terms of hardware but also operational costs like power, cooling, on-site security and maintenance.
Will My Business Face Downtime during Azure Migration?
The goal of any Azure migration service is to minimise downtime, if not completely avoid it. Microsoft provides various tools, such as Azure’s Migration Tool, to help ensure your business continues to operate normally during the migration. And if you choose an external Azure migration partner to help with your migration plan, they’ll do everything they can to keep things running smoothly. Each migration is unique, so the process will be tailored to your business to ensure maximum uptime.
How Can I Estimate the Cost of Azure Migration?
Azure provides a pricing calculator to help estimate the costs of various services. This, combined with a detailed assessment of your business’s IT needs, can help determine the cost of migration. The overall cost savings will depend on multiple factors, including the number of workloads you’re migrating and the specifics of your cloud adoption strategy. Again, this is something an experienced Azure migration partner can help calculate.
How Does Azure Migration Support my Business’s Digital Transformation?
By migrating to Azure, your business gains access to Microsoft’s suite of powerful cloud-based tools, ranging from advanced data analytics to AI capabilities. Your Microsoft 365 SaaS apps will all benefit from deep integration with this cloud infrastructure, enjoying the best possible performance. Bringing your workforce into the world of cloud computing is a core step in digital transformation, which can enhance their productivity and creativity like never before.
