What Are Cloud Migration Services?

Cloud migration is the process of moving your on-premises servers, applications, databases and data to Microsoft Azure. It encompasses everything from the initial readiness assessment through workload migration waves, application modernisation, and post-migration optimisation — transforming legacy infrastructure into a scalable, cost-efficient cloud platform.

Migration Capabilities

Every Migration Path Covered

Whether you're lifting and shifting, re-platforming or fully modernising — Cambay has the certified expertise to deliver.

Infrastructure Migration (Lift & Shift)

Re-host existing VMs, storage and networking on Azure IaaS with minimal code change. Fastest path to cloud with immediate cost benefits and a validated rollback plan.

Application Re-Platforming

Move apps to Azure PaaS — App Service, Azure SQL, and Containers — eliminating OS management overhead and unlocking built-in scaling and resilience.

Database Migration

Migrate SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL to Azure SQL Managed Instance or Azure Database services with near-zero downtime using Azure Database Migration Service.

Exchange & Email Migration

Migrate from Exchange on-premises, G Suite, or legacy mail platforms to Exchange Online and Microsoft 365 with full mailbox, calendar and contacts fidelity.

Data Centre Exit

Full data centre decommission programmes — migrating every workload to Azure and validating complete shutdown of on-premises infrastructure within agreed timelines.

Application Modernisation

Re-architect legacy monolithic applications as cloud-native microservices, containerise with Azure Kubernetes Service, and integrate CI/CD pipelines for future agility.

Our Methodology

How Cambay Delivers Risk-Free Migrations

Our migration methodology is built on 150+ real-world Azure projects. We de-risk every phase through rigorous assessment, wave-based execution, and validated rollback capability at every step.

Discovery & Dependency Mapping

Azure Migrate automated discovery of all VMs, databases and apps — with dependency mapping to understand what needs to move together.

Migration Wave Planning

Workloads grouped into logical waves by dependency, criticality and business impact — lowest risk first, highest value early.

Test Migration & Validation

Every workload is test-migrated in a staging environment and validated against performance, functionality and integration benchmarks before production cutover.

Production Cutover & Optimisation

Controlled production cutover in maintenance windows with real-time monitoring, rollback readiness, and immediate post-migration performance optimisation.

FAQ

Cloud Migration Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about planning and executing a cloud migration to Microsoft Azure.

Plan Your Migration

How do we know which workloads are ready to migrate to Azure?

We use Azure Migrate — Microsoft's free assessment tool — to automatically discover and analyse every server, VM, database and web app in your environment. It assesses Azure readiness, estimates monthly Azure costs, and identifies dependency groups. This gives you a clear, data-driven migration prioritisation rather than guesswork.

What is the difference between lift and shift, re-platform and re-architect?

Lift and shift (re-host) moves workloads to Azure VMs with no code change — fastest, lowest risk. Re-platform moves apps to Azure PaaS (e.g. Azure SQL, App Service) with minimal changes, gaining managed service benefits. Re-architect rebuilds apps as cloud-native microservices or serverless functions — highest effort but maximum long-term agility and cost efficiency.

How do you ensure data integrity during a database migration?

We use Azure Database Migration Service for ongoing replication — keeping source and target databases synchronised until final cutover. Before cutover, we run validation scripts comparing row counts, checksums and application query results between source and target. Cutover only proceeds when 100% data integrity is confirmed.

What if something goes wrong during migration — what is the rollback plan?

Every workload migration includes a documented rollback plan tested before production cutover. For IaaS migrations, source VMs remain running in parallel until the migrated Azure VM is validated. DNS failback takes under 5 minutes. For database migrations, the source database remains the system of record until the Azure database passes all validation checks.

Do you migrate non-Microsoft workloads like Linux, Oracle or Red Hat to Azure?

Yes. Azure supports Linux (Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, SUSE), Oracle Database, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and a wide range of open-source and commercial workloads. Azure Migrate supports VMware, Hyper-V, and physical server discovery. We've migrated Oracle RAC clusters, SAP environments and complex middleware stacks to Azure.

How do you handle licencing during and after migration to Azure?

Licencing is a critical part of our pre-migration assessment. We analyse your existing Microsoft licences for Azure Hybrid Benefit eligibility (typically saving 40% on Windows Server and SQL Server Azure costs), assess reserved instance opportunities for sustained savings, and provide a full licencing optimisation report as part of the migration plan.
