Migration

This service provides a structured and professionally delivered Azure migration implementation to move your workloads from on-premises environments or existing cloud platforms into Microsoft Azure. It is designed to accelerate cloud adoption while reducing risk, minimising disruption, and ensuring a smooth and predictable transition. Hyve’s approach follows Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF), ensuring all migrations are aligned to proven best practices across security, performance, cost optimisation, and operational excellence. The engagement focuses on the implementation phase of migration—taking validated workloads and executing their transition into Azure in a controlled and efficient manner. The service begins with validation of the target Azure environment, ensuring the landing zone is correctly configured for identity, networking, security, and governance. This ensures workloads are migrated into a robust and scalable foundation that supports ongoing operations and future growth. Migration execution is delivered using proven Microsoft-native tooling such as Azure Migrate, alongside industry-standard approaches for workload replication, dependency handling, and cutover planning. Workloads are migrated using appropriate strategies such as rehosting (lift-and-shift) or light replatforming where beneficial, maintaining application stability while enabling cloud benefits. Cutover is carefully orchestrated to minimise service disruption, with clear rollback planning and validation steps in place. Following migration, workloads are tested to confirm functionality, performance, and connectivity, ensuring they are operating as expected within the Azure environment. Throughout the engagement, key areas are addressed, including:

Secure integration with identity services (e.g., Azure Active Directory) Network configuration and connectivity validation Implementation of security controls aligned to best practices Performance and capacity validation post-migration Alignment to governance and cost management principles

The outcome is a controlled, low-risk migration that enables organisations to quickly realise the benefits of Azure, including improved scalability, resilience, and operational flexibility. Workloads are delivered into Azure in a secure, compliant, and optimised state, ready for ongoing management, optimisation, and future modernisation initiatives. This service is suitable for organisations at the implementation stage of their cloud journey, who have defined workloads for migration and require a trusted partner to execute the transition efficiently and professionally.
