What leaders see
The system is in the cloud, but risk still feels local.
Performance, outage exposure, security questions, backup confidence, and monthly spend are still hard to explain.

Cloud Data Migration
Move your data to the cloud without losing a single record. Operating data -- ERP databases, file shares, document archives, and transaction histories -- is the most critical asset in a cloud migration. We migrate it with replication, validation gates, and integrity checks at every stage so nothing is lost, corrupted, or orphaned.
01
The Problem
Data Migration That Breaks What It's Supposed to Preserve
Cloud problems usually start when infrastructure is moved before ownership, recovery, cost control, and data dependencies are designed around the AI, ERP, and integration workloads.
What is actually happening
The environment was sized around assumptions.
Workload behavior, recovery requirements, network paths, observability, and operating accountability were not designed together.
What gets worse
The cloud becomes another rented server room.
The business pays for flexibility without gaining a stronger foundation for AI, ERP control, reporting, and data readiness.

What Changes
What Cloud Data Migration includes.
Operating data -- ERP databases, file shares, document archives, and transaction histories -- is the most critical asset in a cloud migration. We migrate it with replication, validation gates, and integrity checks at every stage so nothing is lost, corrupted, or orphaned.
01
Database Migration
Migrate SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and AS/400 databases to cloud-native or cloud-hosted instances. Replication-based migration minimizes cutover downtime to minutes.
02
File System Migration
Migrate shared drives, document libraries, and file archives with full permission and metadata preservation. Tiered storage policies applied during migration -- active files on fast storage, archives on cold storage.
03
Data Integrity Validation
Record counts, checksums, and sample comparisons at every migration stage. Data does not go live until source and target match within defined accuracy thresholds.
04
Replication & Sync
Continuous database replication from on-premise to cloud during the migration period. Cutover happens when replication is in sync -- downtime measured in minutes, not hours.
05
Archive Strategy
Define what data migrates to production cloud, what goes to cloud archive (cold storage), and what gets decommissioned. Reduce storage costs while maintaining compliance retention requirements.
06
Encryption & Security
Data encrypted in transit and at rest. Secure transfer protocols, access controls during migration, and audit logging for compliance requirements.

Operating infrastructure and data readinessWhich workloads move first, what has to stay isolated, and how rollback works.
Governance dependencyThe infrastructure has to support uptime, recovery, security, observability, cost control, and data access before AI depends on it.

Delivery sequence
How Metrotechs delivers Cloud Data Migration.
Operating data -- ERP databases, file shares, document archives, and transaction histories -- is the most critical asset in a cloud migration. We migrate it with replication,.
01
Data Discovery
Inventory all databases, file shares, and data stores. Measure volumes, document access patterns, and identify compliance requirements for retention and residency.
02
Migration Architecture
Design the migration approach for each data source -- replication method, transfer mechanism, target storage architecture, and validation procedures.
03
Test Migration
Execute test migrations and validate integrity. Measure transfer times, verify data accuracy, and confirm application functionality against migrated data.
04
Production Migration
Execute production migration with replication sync, cutover, and post-migration validation. Verify every data source before decommissioning on-premise copies.
05
FAQ
Questions that usually decide the scope.
Straight answers to what operators ask before committing budget to this work.
It depends on volume and bandwidth. A 500GB ERP database migrates in hours with replication. Multi-terabyte file shares may take days of background sync. Cutover downtime is typically under 30 minutes for replication-based migrations.
