Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Initial Consultation: We'll schedule a consultation to discuss your cloud migration goals, current IT environment, and any specific concerns you might have.
Discovery Meeting: We'll hold a collaborative meeting to gather detailed information about your:
Business Objectives: What are you hoping to achieve by moving to the cloud? (Increased scalability, cost savings, improved accessibility, etc.)
IT Infrastructure: We'll get a general overview of your applications, data, infrastructure types (on-premises, hybrid), and security posture.
Desired Assessment Scope: We'll discuss the areas you'd like us to focus on during the assessment (e.g., prioritize application assessment or security review).
Assessment Tailoring: Based on the information gathered, we can customize the assessment to address any industry-specific regulations or hybrid cloud considerations you might have.
Actionable Recommendations: Specific guidance tailored to your environment, addressing identified gaps and outlining next steps.
Potential Migration Paths: We'll explore various cloud migration strategies based on your goals and assessment findings.
Cost Estimates (Optional): We can provide preliminary estimates of potential cloud migration costs based on your specific environment and chosen migration path (additional service).

Setup and migration

Setup or migration service available
Yes
How the setup or migration service works
Cloud migration execution is the heart of the process, where your on-premises workloads are carefully transferred to the chosen cloud platform or from one cloud to another. Here's what we would do.
Pre-Migration Activities:
Data Preparation: Data cleansing and optimization techniques might be applied to ensure data integrity and minimize the amount of data transferred, potentially reducing costs.
Application Packaging: Depending on the migration approach (lift-and-shift vs. refactoring), applications might be packaged for deployment in the cloud environment.
Migration Execution:
Migration Tool Selection: The appropriate migration tools are chosen based on the workload type and the cloud platform used. Common tools include:
Data Transfer Tools: These automate the transfer of large datasets from on-premises storage to the cloud.
Server Migration Tools: These facilitate server conversion and deployment in the cloud environment.
Application Migration Tools: These help move and configure applications in the cloud, potentially with minimal code modifications.
Phased Migration Rollout: Workloads are migrated in stages according to the defined strategy. Each phase is closely monitored for any issues, and rollback procedures can be implemented if necessary.
Security Configuration: Security best practices are applied throughout.
Deploy migrated workloads in the cloud environment.
Cost Optimization Continuously optimize usage to control costs.

Quality assurance and performance testing

Quality assurance and performance testing service
Yes
How the quality assurance and performance testing works
Resource Monitoring and Analysis Implement continuous monitoring of CPU, memory, storage, and network metrics. Utilize monitoring tools to identify resource bottlenecks and performance anomalies. Scaling and Right-Sizing Regularly assess workload demands and adjust resource allocations accordingly. Scale up or down VM sizes based on usage patterns to optimize performance Storage Performance Optimize storage performance by selecting appropriate storage tiers. Implement storage performance monitoring to detect latency and throughput issues. Memory Management Employ memory management techniques like ballooning and memory compression. Adjust memory reservations and limits for VMs based on workload requirements. Disk I/O Optimization Utilize a well-managed Azure premium storage for high-performance I/O workloads. Implement disk striping or RAID configurations to improve disk I/O throughput. Virtual Machine Configuration Fine-tune CPU affinity and VM placement to maximize resource utilization. Optimize VM configurations for guest operating system performance. Update and Patch Management Regularly apply updates and patches to the operating systems. Schedule maintenance windows to minimize disruption to critical workloads. Backup and Disaster Recovery Optimization Tune backup and replication schedules to minimize impact on performance. Test and validate disaster recovery processes to ensure efficient failover. Documentation and Reporting Maintain documentation of performance optimization strategies. Generate performance reports and metrics to track improvements.

Fighting climate change

By assisting organisations to easily migrate their data to the Cloud, Technimove are assisting in reducing the carbon footprint involved in the physical migration of data and infrastructure via road, air and sea.

Covid-19 recovery

By assisting organisations to easily migrate their data to the Cloud, this will assist users to work remotely. This is advantageous for users when displaying COVID symptoms as they can work remotely and self-isolate, rather than having to work for a physical office premises, thus increasing the risk of spreading the virus.
