Cloud Migration
Cloud Migration Services
Migration starts with understanding what each workload actually needs, then moving it to the environment that meets those needs: public cloud, private cloud or sovereign infrastructure.
Our Cloud Migration Service
Most migrations start with a destination and work backwards, but at Synapse, we start with the workload.
Business impact analysis tells us what matters and in what order. Discovery tells us what you are actually running. From there, we design the target environment, cost it, and move workloads in sequenced phases with a rollback position at every step. Some go to Azure. Some belong on private or sovereign infrastructure. That decision is the work, and the migration is the final step.
Benefits of Cloud Migration Services
-
01
Business impact analysis comes first
Before anything moves, we establish which services are critical, what depends on what, and what the business can tolerate.
-
02
The destination is a decision
Public cloud suits some workloads. Others cost less, perform better or comply more easily on private or sovereign infrastructure. We assess each on its merits, the Adaptive Cloud approach.
-
03
Costed before committed
Target architecture design includes run-cost estimation, so the commercial case is understood before migration starts.
-
04
Phased, with a way back
Workloads move in sequenced phases with rollback at each step. Continuity is planned for.
-
05
A defined handover
When migration completes, there is a clear handover into managed service with a hypercare period, so the environment is proven stable before day-to-day operations begin.
Synapse helped us take years of accumulated storage complexity and turn it into something clean, centralised, and future-proof. It’s the foundation for everything we build next.
How it works
Our proven approach combines technical expertise, careful planning and accountable delivery to move workloads to the right environment with minimal disruption. From discovery through to ongoing management, we provide a clear path to a more resilient, cost-effective and adaptable infrastructure.
The Synapse Way
- A dedicated Customer Success Manager for every customer.
- Proactive improvement, placement revisited as requirements change.
- Data-driven, every placement decision backed by evidence.
- Full accountability, one team from assessment through handover.
