Cloud Migration Strategy

Migration Methodology

Architecture Planning

The architects and migration engineers at Evolve Partners are available to discuss technical requirements related to high availability, scalability, or elasticity in your new cloud, physical, or hybrid architecture. EPI has the knowledge and experience with the unique auto-scaling options that work best for most cloud providers in the industry today.

Migration Planning

Migration planning is a prerequisite to determining how a migration project will flow. EPI can work with your team to identify workload/server interdependencies or perform a Pre-migration Assessment to discover which application/server interdependencies exist, and provide graphical illustrations of those interdependencies.

Migration Execution

Your EPI project manager will work with you to coordinate execution of the Enterprise Cloud Migration Plan. Through seamless communication and scheduled meetings, your team will stay up-to-date on the status of the each phase of the overall migration project.

Pre Go-Live Options

Oftentimes, migration projects involve operating system upgrades, architectural changes, or related changes that may impact the performance of your workloads. Evolve Partners Load Testing services can be executed before your workloads are live in your new cloud, physical, or hybrid environment.

Go-Live

Leading up to the go-live event, Evolve Partners’ engineers will prepare go-live scripts, for example, to address connection strings changes, activation of jobs, or scheduled tasks, etc. EPI will also lower TTL values on any domains that will be pointed to the new environment as part of the go-live event, to ensure timely DNS propagation.

Hosting Environment Consultation

EPI has created and fostered partnerships with the world's leading cloud and hosting services since 2000. Our provider-agnostic paradigm puts you, the customer, at the top of our priority list. You can be assured our motivation rests solely in architecting and proposing the best hosting solution, service provider and environment for your business.

Cloud Hosting

EPI architects and supports all cloud environments and cloud providers, specializing in enterprise cloud adoption and cloud workload migration. Our portfolio of automated cloud migration tool partners coupled with EPI DevOps and technology solution alliances ensure that your new cloud environment will be secure, scalable, and tuned for performance as well as cost savings.

Managed Hosting

For many businesses, fully managed hosting delivers a “turnkey” environment for hosting and managing the servers that power their Web sites, workloads, and data services. EPI-managed hosting partners provide superior service, performance, and economy, and when combined with EPI support, deliver a comprehensive “server-to-browser” solution that allows our customers to focus on their business — and leave the servers to the experts.

Dedicated Hosting

For some applications and workloads, dedicated servers remain the most viable and stable option to ensure the highest level of performance, security, and control. EPI server migration and configuration experts will identify where dedicated servers are your most sensible solution.  We can integrate a fully-dedicated environment for you on any OS and for any application, workload, or data service.

Hybrid Hosting

Combining the scalability, elasticity, economy, and performance of cloud hosting with the power, security, and control of dedicated servers provides the most robust and flexible hosting environment available to any business. Run literally any Web site, enterprise application, or workload without limits. EPI hosting architects are experts in identifying, configuring, and optimizing hybrid hosting environments for a superior hosting footprint.

Data Center and Colocation Hosting

For large, multi-server global enterprises, PaaS, IaaS, SaaS, and Big Data hosting needs, data centers and co-lo facilities are a necessary capital investment. Also useful for DR and failover environments, the security and dedicated, proprietary nature of this infrastructure require expert IT staff and resources to operate and manage. EPI's design-to-suit model coupled with our server management and capabilities saves you money on staff and operations.
