Overview

From assessment to a well-run cloud.

Cloud transformation services are more than a lift-and-shift. RapidData takes you through the full journey — assessment, migration, modernization and managed run — so you don't just move to the cloud, you operate it well: secure, observable and cost-optimised.

Our cloud migration services and Azure migration services use a proven 6Rs playbook and wave planning for zero-downtime cutovers, while our modernization practice re-platforms and refactors workloads to unlock cloud-native performance and scale.

We design hybrid cloud where it makes sense, deploy in sovereign regions where compliance demands it, and run your estate with FinOps discipline so cloud spend stays under control as you grow.

Stage 01

Assessment & Strategy

We baseline your estate, map dependencies, and build a wave-planned migration and modernization roadmap with a clear business case.

01

Cloud assessment

Application and infrastructure discovery and dependency mapping.

02

6Rs disposition

Rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire or retain.

03

Business case & TCO

Cost, risk and value modelling for the move.

04

Landing zone design

Secure, well-architected foundations on AWS, Azure or GCP.

Stage 02

Migration & Modernization

Execute migrations with wave planning and zero-downtime cutovers, then modernise workloads to cloud-native for performance, scale and cost efficiency.

01

Cloud migration services

Wave-planned migrations with zero-downtime cutover.

02

Azure migration services

Specialist migration to Microsoft Azure.

03

Cloud modernization

Re-platform and refactor to cloud-native architectures.

04

Hybrid cloud

Integrate on-premise and cloud where it makes sense.

Stage 03

Managed Cloud & FinOps

Run the cloud well: 24×7 operations, security, observability and FinOps cost optimisation under named SLAs.

01

Managed cloud

24×7 operations, patching and support under SLA.

02

FinOps

Continuous cost optimisation and accountability.

03

Security & compliance

Guardrails, posture management and residency controls.

04

Observability

Monitoring, alerting and performance management.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What do cloud transformation services include? +

The full journey: cloud assessment and strategy, migration (including Azure migration services), cloud modernization, hybrid cloud, and managed cloud with FinOps — from planning to a well-run cloud estate.

Do you offer Azure migration services? +

Yes. We provide specialist Azure migration services, alongside AWS and GCP, using a proven 6Rs playbook and wave-planned, zero-downtime cutovers.

What is cloud modernization? +

Re-platforming and refactoring workloads to cloud-native architectures so they gain the performance, scalability and cost efficiency the cloud offers — beyond a simple lift-and-shift.

Can you support hybrid and sovereign cloud? +

Yes. We design hybrid cloud where appropriate and deploy in sovereign-cloud regions where compliance and data residency require it.

How do you control cloud cost? +

Through FinOps discipline: right-sizing, commitment management, continuous optimisation and cost accountability built into managed run.

How do you migrate without downtime? +

We use dependency mapping, wave planning and live-parallel cutover techniques to migrate with minimal or zero downtime to operations.
