Cloud Migration
Methodical workload assessment, data transfer, and low-risk cutover to modern cloud infrastructure.
What this is
Our migration service transfers existing servers, databases, and application stacks from legacy hosts or on-premise hardware to Cloud9solution with minimal application downtime.
How it works
- 1Discovery review: dependency mapping, database sizes, and cutover window targets.
- 2Staging setup: replication of target instances and schema configurations.
- 3Dry-run rehearsal: testing synchronization speed and verifying DNS switch procedures.
- 4Cutover execution: final delta sync, DNS update, and post-migration validation.
What's included
| Discovery | Complete architecture and dependency assessment |
| Replication | Continuous incremental data synchronization |
| Testing | Dry-run migration testing in staging |
| Cutover Support | Engineers on live call during the maintenance window |
Suitability assessment
✓ When this makes sense
- •Moving away from legacy shared hosting or unmanaged VPS providers.
- •Consolidating disparate servers into a modern, unified infrastructure stack.
- •Upgrading end-of-life operating systems and database engines during relocation.
✕ When it doesn't
- •Brand new applications with no existing data or workloads to migrate.
- •SaaS applications where the vendor provides no data export mechanism.

Block-level disk streaming and database transaction log shipping to achieve near-zero delta replication before DNS cutover.
Frequently asked questions
By synchronizing data continuously prior to the maintenance window, cutover downtime is generally limited to the brief DNS propagation period.
