Overview
Cloud migration services plan and carry out the move of servers, applications, databases and data from on-premises data centres or another cloud to a cloud platform such as AWS or Microsoft Azure. They cover assessment, landing-zone design, wave planning, migration and cutover, and the optimisation and operations that follow.

Optimisation and operations
“
Done well, migration is the first stage of a longer discipline, not a one-time project: stabilizing the environment, modernizing what’s worth keeping, and instrumenting it so it doesn’t quietly become next decade’s legacy stack.
That’s the difference between a migration vendor and a modernization partner.
The Migration Factory Model is Rapyder’s assessment-led methodology for cloud migration, applied across 500+ engagements on AWS and Microsoft Azure. It runs in four phases — Assess, Mobilize, Migrate & Modernize, and Operate & Optimize — so migration leads directly into governed operations instead of a one-time handoff.
Assess
Mobilize
Migrate & Modernize
Operate & Optimize
Not every workload should move now. If a workload has a genuine near-term retirement plan, unclear ownership, or unresolved compliance status, the right output of a Cloud Migration Assessment is sometimes “not yet,” not “migrate anyway.”
A partner who never says this is protecting their backlog, not your timeline.
Services
Rehost, replatform, or refactor workloads to AWS using AWS MAP-aligned phases and Migration Factory Model discipline.
Move servers, VMware estates, databases, and large data volumes to Microsoft Azure using Azure Migrate, Azure Database Migration Service, and Azure Data Box.
Modernize legacy databases and applications as part of the migration wave, not as an afterthought.
Moves on-premises servers, VMware estates and databases out of the data centre in planned waves, with replication running in the background and rollback plans at every cutover.
Moves workloads between clouds, such as Google Cloud to AWS, including data warehouses and object storage, without disrupting live users.
Migrate for today, scale AI tomorrow: once your workloads are on the cloud, see Rapyder’s AI and Machine Learning Services and Data Analytics Services for what to build on top of them.

Not every workload should move the same way. Choosing the right cloud migration strategy for each one is part of the assessment.

FAQs
Rapyder starts every migration with an assessment: workload discovery, dependency mapping and a cost baseline. Each workload then gets its own path (rehost, replatform, refactor, retain or retire), moves in planned waves with rollback plans, and stays with the same team for optimisation and operations after cutover, rather than a lift-and-shift handover.
Yes. Rapyder is a multi-cloud migration partner, with AWS Migration Success Partner recognition (2022) and Microsoft Solutions Partner status with three Azure specializations: Infra and Database Migration to Microsoft Azure, App Modernization on Microsoft Azure, and AI Platform on Microsoft Azure.
Most migrations take from a few weeks to several months, depending on the number of workloads, their dependencies and the strategy chosen for each. The exact timeline and wave plan are set during the Cloud Migration Assessment, before any commitment.
Compliance is designed in from the start: the landing zone includes identity, network, logging and encryption controls before any workload moves, and Rapyder is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Data is replicated and validated before cutover, so the source system stays intact until the new environment is proven.
Yes. Rapyder has moved production workloads between clouds, including GCP-to-AWS migrations for one of India’s largest job portals and a leading online travel company, covering applications, data warehouses and object storage. Rapyder also migrates workloads from on-premises, AWS or Google Cloud to Azure.
Many workloads can use replication, staged synchronization, blue-green techniques, or controlled cutover to reduce interruption. The achievable downtime depends on the application, data platform, transaction model, network, and rollback requirements. Rapyder defines and tests the cutover plan before production migration.
Workload discovery, dependency mapping, a cost baseline, a recommended strategy for each workload and a wave plan. It is the first step in every engagement and comes before any commitment, so you know what will move, how, in what order and at what cost before signing anything.
Rapyder’s repeatable, wave-based migration methodology, built on AWS MAP’s Assess, Mobilize and Migrate & Modernize phases: standardized assessment, planning, and execution templates carried across engagements, with the same delivery team accountable from wave one through post-migration operations.
No. The Cloud Migration Assessment determines which approach — rehost, replatform, refactor, or another of the 7 Rs — fits each workload. Strategy is an output of the assessment, not a requirement to book one.
Cost depends on the number of servers, applications and databases, how many need replatforming or refactoring rather than a straight rehost, data volumes, compliance needs, and whether you want managed operations afterwards. AWS MAP funding can offset part of the cost for eligible migrations. Rapyder gives a fixed estimate after the free Cloud Migration Assessment.
Often, yes. The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) provides funding and credits for eligible migrations across the assess, mobilize and migrate phases. Rapyder has delivered 25 MAP-funded engagements and checks your eligibility during the assessment, so the funding is planned into the business case from the start.
The 7 Rs are the strategies for moving each workload: retire (switch it off), retain (keep it where it is for now), rehost (lift and shift), relocate (move a platform as-is, such as VMware), repurchase (replace it with SaaS), replatform (move with small changes, such as a managed database) and refactor (re-architect for cloud). The right mix is decided per workload during assessment.
