What is Cloud Migration?

Cloud migration is the process of moving your business systems, applications, and data from traditional on-premises data centers to cloud platforms like AWS. It enables businesses to achieve greater flexibility, cost-efficiency, scalability, and improved security and performance.

There are different migration approaches, such as simple lift-and-shift, re-platforming to utilize cloud-native features, or fully re-architecting applications to maximize the cloud's capabilities.

Cloud Migration Use Cases

Migrating to the cloud isn't just about moving data—it's about unlocking new opportunities for growth, cost savings, and innovation. Here are some compelling reasons to make the move:

Digital Transformation

Modernize legacy applications and infrastructure to support new business models, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation.

Global Expansion

Leverage Public Cloud's global network to support rapid international growth, ensuring consistent performance and availability worldwide.

Cost Optimization

Leverage dynamic scaling and on-demand pricing models to reduce IT costs by up to 20% while maintaining performance and flexibility.

Enhanced Security

Enhance security, compliance, and disaster recovery capabilities by migrating to AWS, ensuring business continuity.

AI & ML Integration

Integrate advanced AI and ML capabilities into your infrastructure, driving next-gen innovation and data-driven insights.

Faster Time-to-Market

Achieve up to 43% faster time-to-market for new applications and features by leveraging cloud-native automation and CI/CD pipelines.

Top Challenges We Solve

Challenge 01

Challenge 02

Operational Downtime

Traditional migration methods often result in extended service disruptions, affecting customer experience and revenue.

Our Solution

Phased migration strategies using automated tools and blue-green deployments to ensure business continuity.

Challenge 03

Security & Compliance Gaps

Legacy systems often harbor unpatched vulnerabilities and lack the guardrails needed for modern regulatory compliance.

Our Solution

Architecting cloud environments with enterprise-grade security controls and automated compliance monitoring.

The Migration Journey

A structured approach to cloud migration that minimizes risk and maximizes business value at every stage.

Cloud services have an important role to play in making companies more agile and, as a result, more likely to succeed. SquareOps provides a comprehensive end-to-end framework for migration.

Assessment & Planning

Portfolio discovery and migration readiness evaluation with TCO analysis. We establish security frameworks and create a detailed business case for migration to define the overall strategy.

Migration Strategy Development

Design comprehensive migration plans and select specific workloads for transition. We conduct proofs of concept to validate against actual business requirements, ensuring minimal disruption through phased execution.

Migration Execution

The actual transition occurs in waves or sprints to maintain business continuity. We prioritize secure data movement, infrastructure setup, and either re-hosting or re-platforming approaches.

Optimization & Modernization

Post-migration, workloads undergo evaluation for modernization opportunities. Adopt cloud-native features like serverless computing, containers, or managed databases to improve efficiency and performance.

Support & Maintenance

Continuous monitoring and management follow the migration completion. We provide ongoing support to ensure the environment remains optimized as business requirements evolve with proactive management.
