Workshop on Application and Database Migration to Azure

Many organizations are constrained by aging applications and databases, facing escalating maintenance costs and diminishing performance. We help you ensure that your applications and databases are planned and designed for scale, security, automation, innovation readiness, and lower total cost of ownership.

Our comprehensive Azure app and database migration service utilizes Azure Migrate, Database Migration Service, and Site Recovery to orchestrate end-to-end workload transitions with automated testing pipelines and real-time replication. Our Azure-certified cloud experts implement industry best practices for migrating mission-critical applications and databases through detailed dependency mapping, automated validation, and proven migration strategies aligned with Azure Well-Architected Framework to accelerate your digital transformation while reducing risks and operational costs.

Features:

1. Business objective and technical goal setting

• We collaborate with you to identify business objectives (minimizing costs, scalability, performance optimization, etc.), and review current databases, applications, and their dependencies to select appropriate Azure services and migration strategies.

2. Azure readiness assessment

• We evaluate your current applications and databases using Azure Migrate and Azure DMS to analyze dependencies, compatibility, and migration paths to overcome infrastructure sizing, security, and compliance issues and ensure seamless cloud migration.

3. Azure cloud service selection

• We assist you in selecting a relevant Azure cloud service, such as Azure App Service, Azure SQL Database, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), or Azure Virtual Machines, based on your workload requirements, scalability needs, and performance goals.

4. Azure cloud environment configuration

• We help you configure your Azure environment by setting up the necessary resources, including Azure Virtual Networks, Storage Accounts, Azure SQL Database or Azure App Service, and security controls for a smooth application and database migration.

5. Migration cost estimation

• Get detailed expenses for compute, storage, and network resources. We use Azure Pricing Calculator to make accurate cost projections and quantify migration-related expenses.

6. Migration planning and roadmap

• We analyze your apps to determine which migration strategy (refactor, rehost, etc.) would be ideal. We develop a detailed migration roadmap comprising workload assessment, Azure services (Azure SQL Database, App Service), timeline estimation, and testing strategies.
