MIGRATIONS

Leave your hyperscaler without running the migration yourself.

Our engineers plan and run your move from a hyperscaler, a virtualization platform or your own hardware. You get a written plan, a tested rollback path and a parallel run if you need one. Included with every plan, at no extra cost, without touching your managed hours.

Backed by InMotion Hosting, 25+ years of infrastructure operations. Senior engineers run the move.

  • Small moves in 3 to 5 business days
  • Rollback plan on every move
  • You approve every cutover
  • Plans from $1,349/mo

WHY TEAMS MOVE

Most migrations start with one of these.

01

Bill shock and metered surprises

Variable invoices that spike exactly when traffic does.

One fixed monthly number instead.

02

Egress fees

Charges every time data moves.

A fixed egress allowance changes the math for data-heavy workloads.

03

Ticket-queue support

No direct line to an engineer who knows your environment.

Engineers in a shared Slack channel instead.

04

Virtualization licensing disruption

Rising licensing costs pushing teams off legacy virtualization.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Realistic timelines, not sales timelines

Indicative ranges. Your actual timeline and cutover window are confirmed after discovery, based on data volume, dependencies and the cutover method you approve.

  • Small, single environment
    3–5 business days
    15–30 min downtime
  • Mid-size, multi-environment
    1–2 weeks
    30–60 min downtime
  • Large, complex dependencies
    3–4 weeks
    1–2 hours (often near-zero for individual services)
