Overview

Azure migration without the risk.

Azure migration services are about more than moving servers. RapidData builds a secure, well-architected Azure landing zone, assesses and dispositions every workload with the 6Rs, and migrates in waves with zero-downtime cutovers.

Where it pays off, we modernise workloads to Azure-native services — App Service, AKS, Azure SQL, serverless — to gain performance, scale and cost efficiency rather than just rehosting.

We then run Azure for you with FinOps cost discipline, security posture management and observability under named SLAs.

Stage 01

Assess & Landing Zone

We discover your estate, map dependencies, build the business case, and stand up a secure Azure landing zone.

01

Discovery & assessment

Inventory and dependency mapping.

Azure landing zone

Secure, well-architected foundations.

04

Business case

TCO and migration-wave planning.

Stage 02

Migrate & Modernize

We migrate in waves with zero downtime and modernise to Azure-native where it pays off.

01

Wave-planned migration

Zero-downtime cutovers.

02

Azure-native modernization

App Service, AKS, Azure SQL, serverless.

03

Data migration

Databases and storage with integrity.

04

Hybrid integration

Connect on-premise and Azure.

Stage 03

Managed Azure & FinOps

We operate Azure with cost, security and observability under SLA.

01

Managed Azure

24x7 operations and support.

02

FinOps

Continuous Azure cost optimisation.

03

Security posture

Defender, policy and compliance.

04

Observability

Monitoring and performance management.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are Azure migration services? +

Services that move your applications and data to Microsoft Azure — covering assessment, secure landing zones, 6Rs migration with zero-downtime cutover, modernization to Azure-native services, and managed Azure with FinOps.

How do you migrate to Azure without downtime? +

Through dependency mapping, wave planning and live-parallel cutover techniques that minimise or eliminate downtime.

Should we rehost or modernise on Azure? +

It depends per workload. Our 6Rs assessment dispositions each one; we modernise to Azure-native services where the value justifies it.

Do you support hybrid and sovereign scenarios? +

Yes. We design hybrid integration and can deploy in sovereign Azure regions for data-residency and compliance.

How do you control Azure cost? +

With FinOps: right-sizing, reservations and savings plans, and continuous optimisation built into managed run.

Do you also do AWS and GCP? +

Yes. We are multi-cloud and also deliver AWS and GCP migration and modernization.
