Organizations are adopting the cloud to minimize infrastructure and operational costs and take advantage of several other benefits of cloud computing. Organizations whose data center leases are set up to expire or want to get out of infrastructure maintenance adopt cloud platforms to transform and focus on innovation.

Lift-and-shift migration enables organizations to keep running their applications with minimal disruptions. This assessment aims to assess the cloud readiness of your on-premises physical servers or virtual machines running on VMWare / Hyper-V for rehosting on Azure and prepare a roadmap for the migration. This approach helps quickly migrate, test, and operationalize the workloads on Azure without significant changes.

Our Approach This assessment will be carried out with the proven discovery tools to prepare an inventory and a manual-based approach to categorize and summarize the details. The outcome of this assessment is a roadmap that elaborates the findings and recommends a suitable approach for the actual migration.
