Cloud Migration Process
It’s important to understand that cloud platform benefits come alongside considerable challenges, including the need to improve availability and latency, scale, manage tricky connections, and address cloud security challenges.
Combitel cloud migration services help businesses move infrastructure, applications and business processes. Our processes reduce risk, maximise performance and introduce robust processes for future growth.

Planning is the most crucial step. Before starting the migration, we will compile a complete inventory of your current hardware and software environment. Every application your organisation employs will be evaluated based on its requirements and objectives.
Once mapped, we assess how to move each to the cloud creating a cloud migration blueprint. Migration blueprints guide workloads, security, and training when moving business applications and data to the cloud. Our migration planners make fact-based decisions, so business disruption is minimised.
There are 3 ways to describe how you use cloud services for your business. These are IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, simply described as host, build and consume.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offers storage, networking and virtualisation providing an alternative to on-premise infrastructure. With IaaS you can buy what you need now, and purchase more as your business grows.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides hardware and software where the infrastructure is maintained by the provider. Predominantly used by businesses that develop unique applications without the need for extensive system administration knowledge.
Software as a Service (SaaS) makes software available over the internet. With SaaS you don’t need to install software on your devices, everything is available when you log in to your online account.
Depending on the size and complexity of your business, you may start with one service or find a need for all three. We will guide you through the pros, cons and the costs of all available options to achieve your business goals.
Having planned your migration carefully, the actual process should go smoothly and quickly. The connections between services and dependencies will largely dictate the order in which to migrate services. Applications with the fewest dependencies will be easier to migrate first.
Data migration is one of the trickiest parts of cloud migration. We use bi-directional syncing between on-premise and cloud databases until all software that consumes the data is moved to the cloud and tested.
Successful migration requires cloud security enabling businesses to deploy and manage a consistent security framework that spans the multi-cloud infrastructure.
We recommend a security solution to protect your cloud assets across all leading cloud platforms including AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Complete network topology visualization and continuous asset monitoring protecting against malware and ransomware.
As with most new technology, some training will be required for your entire organisation. Most applications will mirror your previous setup however, cloud technology introduces new ways of working including unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) tools. We are able to offer classroom and one to one sessions to fast-track the new benefits of these tools.
The switch from legacy equipment to cloud software is going to take a little time to get used to. It’s important to make adoption as easy as possible for everyone in your business. Our training and support can go a long way to ensuring company-wide adoption.
