Cloud infrastructure and migration
Continent IT designs, migrates and supports cloud solutions. Infrastructure discussions require information about applications, workloads, data and acceptable downtime. Hosting choices should account for business and data access requirements; migration needs a verification and rollback approach.
Discuss your project →Tasks to discuss
- Planning application hosting around workloads and dependencies.
- Service and data migration: sequence, verification and rollback conditions.
- Operations: monitoring, backups, access and updates.
What to include in your enquiry
- Where do services run now, and what dependencies and data volumes are involved?
- What are the requirements for hosting country, availability and recovery?
- When can cutover happen, and how will operation be checked afterwards?
What determines the estimate
Cost depends on service count, dependencies, data volumes and migration and support requirements. Infrastructure charges and engineering work should be considered separately. Provider, hosting country, redundancy and support terms are agreed for the specific task.
Questions before starting a project
Can a service be migrated without downtime?
It depends on application architecture, data storage and synchronisation capabilities. Zero downtime cannot be promised before assessment. A migration plan defines an acceptable cutover window, verification and rollback conditions. Backups and recovery testing are discussed before the move.
What makes up cloud infrastructure costs?
Separate provider resource charges from setup, migration and support work. Identify compute, storage, traffic and backup needs. Comparing options also requires hosting-country, access and recovery requirements; a lower server price does not describe the cost of the whole system.
