Cloud Migration and Modernization

Keep the business running while the infrastructure changes. Cloud migration should improve resilience, access, recovery, and control without creating new uncertainty for the people who depend on the systems. We map the business impact first, then sequence architecture, migration, validation, cutover, and ownership around it.

01

The Problem

Infrastructure risk becomes business risk.

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.

01

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.

02

What is actually happening

The environment was sized around assumptions.

Workload behavior, recovery requirements, network paths, observability, and operating accountability were not designed together.

03

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.

02

What Changes

What Cloud Migration and Modernization includes.

Cloud migration should improve resilience, access, recovery, and control without creating new uncertainty for the people who depend on the systems. We map the business impact first, then sequence architecture, migration, validation, cutover, and ownership around it.

01

Cloud Architecture Design

Design cloud architecture around your specific workloads — ERP, WMS, file servers, databases, and custom applications. Right-sized from day one.

02

Migration Planning

Dependency mapping, migration sequencing, cutover planning, and rollback procedures. Every application gets a migration strategy: rehost, refactor, or replace.

03

Data Migration

Secure data migration with integrity validation at every stage. Database replication, file system migration, and archive strategy for historical data.

04

Security & Compliance

Cloud security architecture with IAM, encryption, network segmentation, backup, and disaster recovery. Designed for SOC 2, ITAR, CMMC, and industry-specific compliance.

05

Cost Optimization

Right-sized instances, reserved capacity planning, auto-scaling policies, and ongoing cost monitoring. Cloud should cost less than on-premise, not more.

06

Managed Operations

Post-migration monitoring, patching, backup validation, and incident response. Your team focuses on the business while we keep the infrastructure running.

03

How It Fits Your Operations

How Cloud Migration and Modernization fits your operation.

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.
Systems the foundation supports
ERP workloads
databases
API services
backups
logs and cost data

What Launchpad defines before engineering begins

  • What the business needs to change and why.
  • Which systems, records, risks, and readiness gaps shape the work.
  • What should be built, how it fits the architecture, and in what order.

Launchpad Before Engineering

Decide what to build and in what order.

Launchpad assesses the business and turns discovery into priorities, risks, readiness, architecture, and an implementation Roadmap. Metrotechs then engineers and supports the approved solution.

Metrotechs designs, builds, integrates, and supports the approved solution.
Launchpad keeps priorities, risks, owners, decisions, and delivery governance connected.

Delivery sequence

How Metrotechs delivers Cloud Migration and Modernization.

Cloud migration should improve resilience, access, recovery, and control without creating new uncertainty for the people who depend on the systems. We map the business impact.

01

Assessment

Inventory all on-premise systems, map dependencies, and define migration priorities based on business impact and technical readiness.

02

Architecture

Design target cloud architecture with networking, security, compute, storage, and DR. Present cost model and migration timeline.

03

Pilot Migration

Migrate a non-critical workload first to validate the architecture, networking, and migration tooling. Prove the pattern before scaling it.

04

Phased Migration

Migrate production workloads in planned waves with cutover windows approved by operations. Parallel running where needed.

05

Validation & Optimization

Post-migration performance validation, cost optimization, and security hardening. Handoff to managed operations or your internal team.

FAQ

Questions that usually decide the scope.

Straight answers to what operators ask before committing budget to this work.

We design cloud environments around the workloads, data, recovery needs, and governance model the business has to own. ERP implementations may use dedicated instances, managed databases, or hybrid architectures that keep sensitive workloads on-premise while moving others to cloud.
