  • Tech stack fit

    Your current languages and databases should be native to the specific cloud vendor for a smoother application migration.

  • Pricing model

    Look at reserved instances, spot pricing, and enterprise agreements to find the option that best suits your budget.

  • Compliance and data sovereignty

    Your cloud ecosystem should meet your industry-specific regulations.

  • Vendor lock-in tolerance

    It’s important to maintain a balance between using cloud-native technologies and keeping the possibility to switch vendors in case of unexpected changes.

FAQs

01/

How long does cloud migration take?

The longevity of infrastructure migration services depends on several factors, including the complexity of your system, the volume of your data, the specific migration plan, the cloud you chose, and, of course, the size of your business.

  • For a small studio, our cloud migration process will take one or two months.
  • A medium-sized organization will require around six months.
  • Enterprise-grade companies need at least a year of a sophisticated approach.

02/

How much does cloud migration cost?

Cloud migration services costs depend heavily on your project and your requirements. Among the most influential cost drivers are the complexity of your setup, the duration of the cloud journey, any additional services required, the cloud vendor’s fee, and necessary licenses. At NIX, we cater to businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises. To get a precise estimate for your specific migration project, contact us for a personalized consultation and detailed project assessment.

03/

What cloud migration strategy do you recommend for our workloads?

The most efficient cloud migration strategy is the one that aligns with your current architecture and business goals. Across the range of cloud migration capabilities, we offer the following strategies:

  • Rehost or lift and shift, where we migrate infrastructure and data without significant modifications.
  • Replatform, where we retain your architecture and adjust it minimally to seamlessly integrate it into the cloud.
  • Refactor, where NIX’s cloud migration consultants redesign your apps to cloud-native solutions.
  • Repurchase, where we replace your applications with cloud SaaS solutions that lead to simple IT management.
  • Retain, where we keep some apps and data on-premises when cloud migration for them is not relevant.
  • Retire, where we assess your applications and decommission those that are no longer relevant.

To define the best cloud migration strategy for your system, we work closely with you to assess your current architecture and business goals.

04/

What are the main risks during cloud migration and how do you mitigate them?

Drawing on over 18 years of providing cloud migration services, the NIX team effectively solves issues that arise before and during the streamlined migration. Here are the primary potential risks of cloud transformation, and how we address them:

  • Data loss. To prevent data loss, we use automated data validation tools and checksum verification, along with multiple ‘dry run’ syncs before the final cutover.
  • Extended downtime. Through a rigorous deployment strategy, we stage and test a cloud alongside the live legacy system, ensuring that the new cloud setup is 100% verified before traffic redirection.
  • Uncontrolled infrastructure costs. We right-size instances and set auto-scaling limits, ensuring you pay only for the performance.
  • Security vulnerabilities. By implementing IaC templates, fortified with best security practices, zero-trust principles, and continuous vulnerability scanning, we ensure total protection of your environment against modern cybersecurity threats.
  • Poor performance. During cloud readiness assessment and strategy development, we perform dependency mapping to identify high-latency risks. We also use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and data caching to optimize performance in your cloud setup.

05/

How do you handle compliance for regulated industries during migration?

At NIX, compliance is our foundational responsibility during the cloud migration and afterwards. To ensure compliance with specific industry regulations, such as those in healthcare or fintech, we apply several frameworks, including the shared responsibility model, automated governance, and data sovereignty. Additionally, we provide comprehensive logging and traceability through cloud migration services and apply specific configuration templates. For instance, HIPAA/HITECH for the healthcare sector, GDPR for data privacy, PCI-DSS for the finance sector, and ISO 27001 or SOC3 for service organizations.

06/

What do you need from us to start a cloud migration project?

Usually, before rolling out our cloud migration services, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation process, identifying the structure of your current architecture. But to speed up the preparation processes and kick off the lift and shift migration, we require the following from you:

  • Your business objectives, success metrics, and KPIs are what we should aim for during the solution development.
  • The tech stack you have and the tech stack you need for your future cloud environment.
  • Security and regulatory requirements, in case your business operates in a highly regulated sector.
  • Stakeholder contacts, to access your key team members, like tech leads, business owners, or security officers.

07/

Do you offer post-migration support and optimization?

Of course! Following your seamless transition to the cloud solutions, we provide you with a dedicated warranty period and post-migration support, optimizing the performance of your cloud setup and ensuring that you gain all the advantages of the cloud technologies. It includes:

  • Continuous monitoring and observability through autonomous tools to provide real-time visibility into the system’s health.
  • Security hardening, by performing continuous security audits, IAM policy, and patch management.
  • Cost optimization and right-sizing according to your current needs and resource utilization.
  • 24/7 tech assistance to address any system disruptions and ensure its high performance at any time zone.
