Cloud Migration Services
Move to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud with confidence. From assessment and wave planning to zero-downtime cutover and validation, we migrate your applications and data with lower risk and faster time-to-cloud.
Expert Cloud Migration Services
With over 28 years of technology and infrastructure experience, Hire Cloud Agency plans and executes migrations that are methodical, measurable, and low-risk. We combine deep AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud expertise with a proven 6 Rs framework to move your workloads without surprises.
Why Choose Our Cloud Migration Services?
We treat migration as an engineering discipline, not a one-time event. Every workload is assessed, given the right 6 Rs strategy, migrated with validated data integrity, and cut over behind a tested rollback plan — so you gain the cloud's scalability and savings without risking your business.
The 6 Rs of Cloud Migration
Not every workload belongs in the cloud the same way. We evaluate each application against the six proven migration strategies and choose the disposition that maximizes value.
Rehost
Lift-and-shift workloads to the cloud with minimal changes using tools like AWS MGN, Azure Migrate, and Google Migrate. The fastest path to exit the data center.
Replatform
Lift-tinker-and-shift — make targeted optimizations such as moving to managed databases, load balancers, or container runtimes without rewriting the application.
Refactor
Re-architect legacy applications into cloud-native, microservices, or serverless designs to unlock elasticity, resilience, and long-term agility.
Repurchase
Drop-and-shop — retire custom software in favor of a modern SaaS or managed offering when it lowers cost and operational burden.
Retire
Identify and decommission redundant, duplicate, or unused applications so you only pay to migrate what actually delivers value.
Retain
Keep specific workloads on-premises or revisit them later when compliance, latency, or dependency constraints make migration premature.
Our Proven Migration Process
A repeatable, wave-based methodology that de-risks every step from discovery to a validated, production-ready cutover.
Assessment & Discovery
We inventory every application, map dependencies, benchmark performance, and build a TCO model and cloud readiness score so decisions are driven by data, not guesswork.
Wave Planning & Strategy
Workloads are grouped into migration waves, assigned a 6 Rs disposition, and sequenced so low-risk pilots go first and high-value systems follow with confidence.
Data Migration
Databases and storage are replicated using change-data-capture and continuous sync, with checksums and record counts validating integrity before any cutover.
Zero-Downtime Cutover
We sync live data to the final moment, then shift traffic behind DNS and load balancers so users move to the cloud with minimal or zero downtime.
Validation & Rollback
Smoke tests, performance validation, and security checks confirm success — and a tested rollback path stays ready until you sign off on the migration.
Cloud Migration Services
End-to-end migration capabilities across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud — from the first assessment to a fully optimized, running workload.

Key Benefits of Migrating with Us
A well-planned migration is not just about moving servers — it is about the outcomes your business gains once you get there.
Faster Time-to-Cloud
Proven playbooks, automation, and landing zones compress months of planning into weeks so you reach the cloud and start realizing value sooner.
Lower Migration Risk
Dependency mapping, wave planning, integrity validation, and tested rollback paths remove the guesswork and protect against data loss and outages.
Real Cost Savings
Rightsizing, retiring dead workloads, and choosing the correct 6 Rs disposition typically cuts infrastructure spend by 20–40% after migration.
Elastic Scalability
Once in the cloud, your workloads scale automatically with demand, so you handle traffic spikes and growth without over-provisioning hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about cloud migration strategy, timelines, downtime, and cost.
Which cloud platforms do you migrate to?
We migrate to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). We are platform-agnostic and recommend the target that best fits your workloads, compliance needs, existing skills, and budget — including multi-cloud and hybrid architectures.
What are the 6 Rs of cloud migration?
The 6 Rs are the six strategies for moving a workload: Rehost (lift-and-shift), Replatform (lift-tinker-and-shift), Refactor (re-architect), Repurchase (move to SaaS), Retire (decommission), and Retain (keep as-is for now). We assign each application the disposition that delivers the best balance of speed, cost, and long-term value.
How long does a cloud migration take?
A single application or lift-and-shift wave often completes in 2 to 6 weeks. Mid-sized estates typically run 3 to 6 months across multiple waves, while large enterprise portfolios that include refactoring can span 6 to 18 months. We phase the work so you see value early rather than waiting for a big-bang finish.
Will there be downtime during the migration?
For most workloads we achieve zero or near-zero downtime. We use continuous data replication, blue-green and canary cutovers, and traffic shifting behind load balancers so users move to the cloud seamlessly. When a brief maintenance window is unavoidable, we schedule and communicate it in advance.
How do you protect our data during migration?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest throughout the move. We use change-data-capture replication, then verify every migration with checksums, record counts, and reconciliation reports before cutover. The source environment stays intact until validation passes, so nothing is ever at risk.
How do you help control cloud costs?
Cost control starts in the assessment with a TCO model, then continues through rightsizing, retiring unused workloads, reserved and spot capacity, and FinOps tagging for visibility. Choosing the correct 6 Rs disposition for each workload is the single biggest lever, and it commonly reduces run-rate by 20 to 40 percent.
What happens if something goes wrong during cutover?
Every wave has a documented, tested rollback plan. Because the source environment remains available and data replication is reversible until sign-off, we can fail back quickly with no data loss if validation does not meet the agreed success criteria.
Do you provide support after the migration?
Yes. We offer post-migration optimization, monitoring and observability setup, managed cloud operations, and 24/7 support. Many clients keep us on for day-two DevOps, cost optimization, and continued modernization once their workloads are live in the cloud.
