Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What are Cloud Migration Services?
Cloud Migration Services help organizations move applications, data, and infrastructure from on-premise or legacy environments to the cloud. The goal is not just relocation, but building a stable, secure, and scalable foundation that supports performance, compliance, and long-term system growth.
- How much does cloud migration cost?
The cost of cloud migration depends on system complexity, data volume, and the level of planning required to maintain business continuity. Smaller environments are quicker to move, while complex platforms require phased migration and deeper architectural work.
Typical cloud migration costs range from $10,000–$30,000 for smaller systems, $40,000–$120,000 for mid-sized platforms, and $150,000+ for large or enterprise environments. These estimates generally include assessment, migration execution, and stabilization, excluding ongoing cloud usage.
- How is cloud migration different from application modernization?
Cloud migration focuses on moving existing systems to the cloud while preserving current functionality. Application modernization goes further by redesigning systems for cloud-native operation. Many organizations start with migration and progressively modernize to improve scalability, performance, and operational efficiency.
- How long does a typical cloud migration take?
Cloud migration timelines depend on application complexity, system dependencies, data volume, and business constraints. Simple workloads may move within weeks, while large, interconnected platforms require phased migrations over several months to ensure stability, continuity, and minimal operational risk.
- Is cloud migration secure for sensitive data?
Cloud migration can be highly secure when planned correctly. Security is built into the process through encryption, access controls, data handling policies, and compliance alignment, ensuring sensitive data remains protected during migration and throughout ongoing cloud operations.
- Will cloud migration disrupt existing business operations?
Cloud migration does not have to disrupt daily operations. A phased approach allows systems to run in parallel while workloads move gradually. This ensures continuity, reduces downtime, and gives teams time to validate performance before fully transitioning to the cloud.
- How do you control cloud costs after migration?
Cloud costs are controlled through continuous monitoring, workload optimization, and governance practices. By right-sizing resources, removing unused services, and tracking usage patterns, organizations maintain performance while keeping cloud spending predictable and aligned with business growth.
