Frequently Asked Questions About On-Premises Migration
Get answers to common questions about planning and executing your on-premises to on-premises migration.
What is an on-premises to on-premises migration?
An on-premises to on-premises migration involves moving servers, data, and applications from one physical location to another without moving to the cloud. This may include upgrading to new hardware, relocating to a new office, moving to a data centre, or redesigning your on-site infrastructure.
How long does an on-premises migration typically take?
The duration depends on the complexity of your systems, the amount of data, and the number of applications involved. We conduct a free assessment to understand your environment and provide a realistic timeline. Most migrations can be planned and executed with minimal downtime through careful sequencing and out-of-hours work.
Will there be downtime during the migration?
We design migrations to minimise downtime. Wherever possible, we perform migrations during out-of-hours periods and use staged approaches to move systems in controlled phases. Our planning process identifies critical dependencies to ensure business continuity.
What if something goes wrong during the migration?
We develop comprehensive rollback and recovery plans before any migration begins. Each phase is tested thoroughly, and we maintain clear recovery options at every stage. Our experienced team monitors the process closely to catch and resolve issues quickly.
Do you handle data migration and validation?
Yes. We manage the complete data migration process, including discovery, planning, transfer, and validation. We verify that all data is correctly transferred and accessible in the new environment before decommissioning legacy systems.
