Cloud Migration

Small environments (< 50 servers) typically migrate in 3–6 months. Mid-size environments (50–200 servers) take 6–12 months. Large enterprise data centres may take 12–24+ months. We phase migrations so you see value from moved workloads within the first 8 weeks.

AWS MAP is a structured migration methodology with three phases: Assess (business case and portfolio analysis), Mobilise (landing zone and pilot), and Migrate (production wave migrations). It comes with AWS funding credits for qualifying migrations. We are MAP-certified partners and can help you qualify for credits.

We run AWS Database Migration Service with continuous replication to sync data to the AWS target in real time before cutover. The cutover window is just the time to switch DNS or application endpoints — not a data transfer window. We run reconciliation queries comparing row counts and checksums before and after cutover.

Yes — this is our standard deployment target for GCC customers. AWS me-south-1 Bahrain is the only AWS region with physical infrastructure inside the GCC, providing data residency for Saudi PDPL and NCA ECC. We design the architecture to keep all data in Bahrain from day one.

We always have a validated rollback plan: DNS TTLs are lowered before cutover so re-pointing to the old environment takes effect quickly, data replication runs in reverse, and the old environment remains live during a validation window. We never decommission the source until the migrated workload has operated stably for a defined period (typically 30 days).
