AWS · Azure · GCP — Multi-Cloud Specialists

Cloud Solutions
& Migration Done Right.

We design, migrate, and manage cloud environments that are secure, cost-efficient, and built to scale — on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or multi-cloud. Every migration starts with a strategy that matches workloads to the right platform, controls costs from day one, and eliminates the performance and security risks that most cloud migrations leave behind.

Migration Strategy

The 6 Rs of Cloud Migration

We assess every application individually and apply the right migration strategy — from retiring redundant workloads through to rearchitecting applications that need to be rebuilt cloud-native. The right strategy for each workload is what separates a successful migration from a costly one.

Retire
Retain
Rehost
Replatform
Refactor
Rearchitect
Retire
Decommission applications that are redundant, unused, or replaced by cloud-native alternatives. Reduces scope and cost before migration begins.
Lowest Effort
Retain
Keep applications on-premises where cloud migration does not make business or technical sense — regulatory constraints, latency requirements, or near end-of-life.
No Cloud Spend
Rehost
Lift and shift: move application to cloud with minimal changes. Fastest migration path. Best for workloads that need cloud infrastructure benefits without code changes.
Low Complexity
Replatform
Migrate and make minor optimisations — move to managed database services, containerise the application, or switch to platform-as-a-service. Some cloud benefit with limited rework.
Medium Effort
Refactor
Re-architect parts of the application to leverage cloud capabilities — microservices, cloud-native APIs, managed services — while keeping the core application logic.
High Benefit
Rearchitect
Rebuild the application from scratch using cloud-native architecture — serverless, containers, event-driven. Highest complexity and cost, but maximum cloud-native benefit.

How We Work

Our Cloud Engagement Process

A structured 5-phase approach — every phase produces a working deliverable before the next begins. No surprises, no scope creep, no migrations that go live without a tested rollback plan.

01
Discovery & Assessment

We assess your full application and infrastructure portfolio — workload inventory, dependency mapping, performance baselining, and a 6R classification for every application. Output: a complete migration backlog with effort and risk scoring.

02
Cloud Strategy & Design

We design your cloud architecture — landing zone design, network topology, security controls, IAM framework, and the technical standards that every migrated workload must meet. Output: a tested reference architecture.

03
Business Case & Approval

We build the financial business case — current cost baseline, cloud TCO model, migration cost estimate, and a risk-adjusted ROI projection. Output: a board-ready investment case with costs, savings, and payback period.

04
Migration Execution

We migrate workloads in sequenced waves — pilot wave first to validate process, then accelerating through the portfolio. Every cut-over is tested in parallel before go-live, with a documented rollback procedure and a hypercare period post-migration.

05
Optimise & Operate

After migration, we optimise — rightsizing, reserved instance purchases, security posture review, and operational runbook completion. We provide 30-day hypercare post each wave, then handover to your team or transition to managed services.

Why Rackwave

Why Enterprises Choose Rackwave for Cloud

Cloud migrations fail for predictable reasons. Here is what we do differently to make sure yours does not.

01
We assess workloads before we move them.

Most migrations fail because applications are moved without understanding their dependencies, performance requirements, or cloud readiness. We spend 2-4 weeks on assessment before any workload moves.

  • Full application portfolio inventory
  • Dependency mapping for every workload
  • 6R classification with effort scoring
  • Performance baseline before migration
  • Risk and complexity rating per application
  • Sequencing logic that avoids dependency conflicts
02
We control cloud costs from day one — not after the bill arrives.

FinOps is built into every architecture we design. Rightsizing, reserved instance strategy, and spend visibility are not afterthoughts — they are part of the design before a single resource is provisioned.

  • Cloud spend baseline and target modelling
  • Resource tagging governance from day one
  • Rightsizing as part of every migration wave
  • Reserved instance purchase strategy
  • Cost anomaly alerting configuration
  • Monthly FinOps review with optimisation backlog
03
Security is architecture, not an audit at the end.

We design cloud security into the landing zone before any workload migrates — IAM, network segmentation, encryption, logging, and compliance controls are in place before the first application arrives.

  • Landing zone security controls designed first
  • Zero-trust IAM design
  • Network segmentation and firewall rules
  • Encryption at rest and in transit by default
  • Centralised logging and security event monitoring
  • Compliance controls for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR

Client Testimonials

What Cloud Migration Clients Say

Feedback from CTOs, infrastructure leaders, and CFOs who have completed cloud migrations with Rackwave Technologies.

Manufacturing Group — AWS Migration
★★★★★

We had tried to migrate to AWS twice before — both programmes stalled because the dependency mapping was wrong and applications that needed to move together were sequenced apart. Rackwave spent three weeks on assessment before moving anything, identified 23 dependency groups we had not mapped, and delivered a migration sequence that actually worked. 47 applications moved in 9 months with zero production incidents.

Financial Services — Azure Landing Zone
★★★★★

Our regulators had concerns about cloud security — and they were right to have them. Rackwave designed our Azure landing zone from a security-first position: IAM, network controls, encryption, audit logging, and compliance evidence for SOC 2 all in place before a single workload migrated. When our external auditors reviewed the architecture, it passed without a remediation finding. That was not luck — it was deliberate design.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about cloud solutions and migration services with Rackwave Technologies.

  • How long does a cloud migration take?

    Timeline depends on the number of applications and their complexity. A focused single-application migration or infrastructure lift-and-shift typically runs 4 to 8 weeks. An enterprise-wide migration programme covering 20 to 50 applications typically runs 6 to 12 months, delivered in sequenced waves. We always assess and sequence first — the assessment phase (2 to 4 weeks) produces the migration backlog and wave plan before any workloads move.

  • How do you ensure zero downtime during migration?

    Zero-downtime migration requires running source and target environments in parallel before cut-over. For every workload, we design a cut-over plan that specifies the exact steps, timing, validation checks, and rollback procedure. We test the cut-over in a staging environment before the production cut-over window. For database migrations, we use change data capture to keep source and target in sync during the transition. No workload goes live until the parallel validation period passes.

  • Which cloud platform should we use — AWS, Azure, or GCP?

    Platform selection depends on your specific workloads, existing technology investments, team skills, and regulatory requirements. AWS is the broadest platform with the most services. Azure is the natural choice if you are heavily invested in the Microsoft ecosystem. GCP has the strongest capabilities for data, analytics, and Kubernetes workloads. We evaluate these factors for your specific situation and provide a documented recommendation — we do not have a preferred platform partner that influences our advice.

  • How much can we expect to save by moving to cloud?

    Cost reduction varies significantly by starting point. Organisations running ageing on-premises infrastructure typically achieve 25% to 40% total infrastructure cost reduction after migration and optimisation. Organisations on expensive co-location agreements often see greater savings. However, cloud migrations that are not actively managed for cost often spend more than on-premises — we design FinOps controls from the start to ensure savings are realised and maintained.

  • What is the difference between lift-and-shift and cloud-native migration?

    Lift-and-shift (Rehost) moves an application to cloud with minimal changes — typically the fastest and lowest-risk approach, with modest cloud benefit. Cloud-native migration (Refactor or Rearchitect) redesigns the application to use cloud services — containers, managed databases, serverless — delivering significantly more performance, scalability, and cost efficiency but requiring more time and investment. We recommend the right approach for each application based on its cloud readiness, business criticality, and expected lifespan.

  • Do you provide cloud managed services after migration?

    Yes. We offer 24/7 cloud managed services — monitoring and alerting, incident response, patch and security management, capacity management, and continuous FinOps optimisation. Managed services clients typically achieve 15% to 25% additional cost reduction in the 12 months after migration through continuous rightsizing and reserved instance optimisation. We also provide a 30-day hypercare period after each migration wave as standard, regardless of whether the client proceeds to managed services.

  • How do you handle cloud security and compliance requirements?

    Security is designed into the landing zone architecture before any workloads migrate. Our standard landing zone includes IAM with principle of least privilege, network segmentation, encryption at rest and in transit by default, centralised logging and audit trail, security event monitoring, and compliance controls mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA as required. For regulated industries, we work with your compliance and legal teams to ensure the architecture meets specific regulatory obligations before go-live.

  • Can you manage a multi-cloud environment across AWS and Azure?

    Yes. Multi-cloud management requires a unified operations layer — consistent tagging and governance, shared security monitoring, cross-cloud networking, and a single-pane-of-glass for cost and performance visibility. We design multi-cloud architectures that provide genuine workload portability and avoid vendor lock-in, while maintaining the operational simplicity of a single cloud where the workload does not require multi-cloud placement.
