Move to the Cloud the Right Way, Not Just the Fast Way

Rushing workloads into the cloud unchanged is how organizations end up paying more for something that runs no better. Datacipher’s certified architects plan and carry out cloud migrations that move each workload the right way, so you land in the cloud with better performance and real value, not just a new place to run the same problems.

Business Challenges

Lift and Shift That Delivers Nothing
Moving workloads to the cloud exactly as they were often costs more and performs no better, because they were never adapted to work the way the cloud rewards.
Not every workload should move the same way, or move at all, and without a plan, everything gets treated the same and the results suffer.
Applications depend on other systems in ways that are rarely fully documented, and the forgotten connections tend to surface painfully mid-migration.
Moving workloads that the business runs on is risky, so necessary migrations get delayed for fear of downtime or data loss.
Without planning for how workloads will actually run and cost in the cloud, the bill after migration can come as an unwelcome shock.

Our Solution

Datacipher’s certified architects plan and carry out cloud migrations that move each workload the right way for what it is. Rather than lifting everything across unchanged, we assess your applications and decide the right approach for each, whether that means moving it as is, adapting it to run better, rebuilding it to take full advantage of the cloud, or retiring what is no longer needed.

Before anything moves, we map the dependencies that migrations usually trip over, so they are handled in the plan rather than discovered mid-move. The migration itself runs in planned stages with the business kept running throughout, and workloads are adapted so they genuinely benefit from the cloud rather than just landing there. Whether you are moving to a single cloud, across clouds, or into a hybrid setup, the goal is the same: arrive with better performance and real value, not a new set of problems.

Key Features

The Right Approach for Each Workload

Every application assessed and matched to the right migration approach, from moving as is to adapting, rebuilding, or retiring, rather than one method for everything.

Dependency Mapping First

The connections between systems mapped before anything moves, so the dependencies that usually break migrations are handled up front.

Applications Adapted for the Cloud

Workloads adapted so they actually benefit from the cloud, rather than lifted across unchanged and left running no better than before.

Staged, Low-Disruption Migration

The move carried out in planned stages with the business running throughout, rather than a single risky switch.

Planned for Cost and Performance

Migration planned with how workloads will run and cost in the cloud in mind, so there are no unwelcome surprises after the move.

Business Benefits

1

A Cloud Move That Actually Pays Off

Adapting workloads for the cloud means you arrive with better performance and real value, not just a more expensive version of what you had.

2

No Nasty Surprises Mid-Migration

Mapping dependencies first means the connections that usually derail a migration are handled in the plan, not discovered during the move.

3

The Business Keeps Running

Staged migration keeps the business operating throughout, so moving to the cloud does not mean downtime you have to absorb.

4

Costs You Saw Coming

Planning for how workloads run and cost in the cloud means the post-migration bill matches expectations rather than shocking you.

5

The Right Home for Each Workload

Deciding the approach per workload means each one ends up where and how it belongs, rather than forced through a single method.

Solution Architecture

Migration is planned from an assessment of your workloads and their dependencies, then carried out in staged moves into the target cloud, with workloads adapted to run well, all led by Datacipher’s certified architects.

OEM Partners

Our certified cloud architects migrate workloads to and between the major cloud platforms, and plan the move around your existing systems rather than tying you to a single platform or a single method.

Delivering measurable business results through enterprise networking, cybersecurity, and cloud solutions that improve performance, resilience, and operational efficiency.
Case Study

From 20 Hours of Downtime to Under 1 Hour

DDoS attacks were knocking RailTel offline for nearly 20 hours a month. For one of India’s largest telecom providers, that couldn’t continue. Datacipher deployed Corero’s hybrid DDoS protection, phased in with zero disruption. Downtime fell to under an hour, and attacks now get blocked in real time.

Case Study

50% More Capacity, 70% Fewer Complaints

Rising user demand had pushed QTL’s network into constant congestion, dragging down service quality and pushing customer complaints higher every month. Datacipher upgraded the network with Juniper MX Series routers, rolled out in off-peak hours to avoid disruption. It helped lift overall capacity by 50%, and and cutting performance complaints by 70%.

Case Study

80% Fewer Wi-Fi Dropouts

Mahindra & Mahindra’s ageing Wi-Fi couldn’t keep up with a growing number of devices. Staff hit constant dropouts, and productivity slipped. Datacipher moved them to Juniper Mist, an AI-driven wireless network, phased in with minimal downtime. Connectivity issues fell 80%, and speeds rose 30%.

Case Study

A Data Center Move With Zero Downtime

With its lease expiring and its infrastructure past its prime, Technicolor had just six months to move its entire data center without disrupting a global media operation. Datacipher planned and ran the migration in carefully coordinated phases, hitting the deadline with zero unplanned downtime and moving Technicolor onto faster, more reliable infrastructure.

Case Study

60% Fewer Incidents, 35% Faster

BESCOM’s branch offices were running on outdated firewalls. They couldn’t handle modern threats or rising traffic, so security gaps and slowdowns crept in. Datacipher replaced them with Juniper SRX1500 firewalls, migrating every policy in phases. Security incidents fell 60%, and performance improved 35% across sites.

Case Study

20% More Revenue From New Services

Kerala Vision Broadband wanted to launch new, competitive services but was boxed in by its existing network. Datacipher upgraded the infrastructure with Juniper MX Series routers, adding support for advanced offerings like MPLS-based VPNs. The ISP piloted the services, rolled them out, and lifted revenue 20% in six months.

Dependencies Handled Before They Bite

We map the connections that derail migrations before anything moves, so the surprises stay in the plan rather than in the cutover.

Support That Doesn't End at Go-Live

Once your workloads are running in the cloud, our relationship continues, backed by our operations centers.

FAQs

Can we just move everything to the cloud as it is?
You can, but it often costs more and performs no better, because the workloads were never adapted for the cloud. We assess each one and choose the right approach, so the move actually delivers value rather than just relocating the problem.
We assess each application and match it to the right approach, from moving it as is, to adapting it, rebuilding it to take full advantage of the cloud, or retiring what is no longer needed. Not everything should move the same way.
By moving in planned stages with the business running throughout, and by mapping dependencies first so the connections that usually cause problems are handled in the plan rather than mid-move.
We plan the migration with how workloads will run and cost in the cloud in mind, so the post-migration bill matches expectations. Keeping cloud spend in check over time is covered further by our Cloud Cost Optimization service.
Our Professional Services migration covers moves of any kind, such as network, firewall, or data center. This page is specifically about moving workloads and applications to or between clouds, which has its own considerations. The two are related, and we handle both.
