Cloud Migration and Management (Azure, AWS, Oracle, Google, etc.)

GDC Services supports our customers on the cloud journey, providing end-to-end services for Cloud Migration and Management of Cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, Google, etc.).

In the modern digital world, limitations of traditional on-premise infrastructures are more and more obvious, and leveraging cloud advantages became a key to success for many companies. However, there are also many companies disappointed with their cloud journey because their route to cloud was strewn with obstacles or because in the end of the journey they were left alone and didn’t know what to do next.

GDC Services offers to shorten your way to the clouds to 6 simple steps and can help you manage and maintain your cloud even when you’re there with our set of Cloud Services.

5 steps to the cloud

GDC Services offers a simple and effective way to migrate your infrastructure to the cloud and transform it to leverage cloud advantages. It consists of 6 steps:

1. Discovery – experts inspect your infrastructure, discovering servers, applications, dependencies etc. 

2. Infrastructure and Application Assessment – using discovered information, experts assess your infrastructure for eligibility and suitability to be migrated to clouds. As an option, GDC Services experts can also assess business applications and suggest the best options for moving them to clouds with minimal investments.

3. Migration Planning & Cloud design – detailed planning of future migration, including creation of designs, project plans, etc.

4. Landing zones build – experts build everything you need to migrate your workloads to clouds. This also includes building new (non-related to migration) elements of infrastructure in the cloud.

5. Cloud Migration – actual migration of workloads, including all the pre- and post-migrations check, so that you could be sure that everything works after the migration.
