FAQ
Questions companies usually ask first
Clear answers help you understand how the engagement works before we get on a call.
What are cloud migration services?
Cloud migration services help a company move applications, databases, files, infrastructure, and operations from on-premise hosting, legacy servers, or unmanaged environments to cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, or multi-cloud setups.
What workloads can NextPage migrate to the cloud?
We can help migrate web applications, APIs, databases, background jobs, file storage, admin systems, SaaS platforms, legacy business systems, and supporting DevOps workflows. The exact plan depends on dependencies, uptime needs, data size, and security controls.
How do you reduce downtime during cloud migration?
We reduce downtime by mapping dependencies early, using staged environments, data replication where appropriate, test migrations, validation checklists, rollback plans, DNS and cutover planning, and post-cutover monitoring.
Should we rehost, replatform, or refactor before migrating?
It depends on the workload. Rehosting can be faster for stable systems, replatforming helps when the application needs cloud-managed services, and refactoring is useful when architecture limits reliability, scale, or delivery. We usually recommend a mixed plan by workload instead of one migration pattern for everything.
Can you migrate databases and storage?
Yes. We can plan database migration, replication, backup checks, object storage movement, file validation, and cutover testing for relational databases, business data, application assets, and media stores.
Do you support AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud?
Yes. We can work with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments. Platform choice should follow the current stack, security requirements, budget, team skills, and long-term operating model.
What happens after the migration is complete?
Post-migration work usually includes monitoring, cost tuning, backups, security review, runbooks, incident response setup, performance improvements, and a modernization backlog for workloads that should be improved after the first move.
How long does a cloud migration project take?
A small migration can start with a short readiness sprint, while larger platforms often need multiple migration waves. Timeline depends on application complexity, database size, integration depth, downtime tolerance, compliance needs, and how much modernization is required before cutover.
