Migration

The challenge

Moving workloads to the cloud is often the first step in a broader transformation, but a poorly planned migration can introduce downtime, data loss, and unexpected costs. A disciplined migration process ensures that every server, database, and application lands in the right Azure service with minimal business disruption.

Beyond the technical lift, migration is an opportunity to rationalize your portfolio. Identifying workloads that should be retired, consolidated, or modernized during the move avoids carrying unnecessary complexity into your new environment and sets a strong foundation for future innovation.

What we deliver

• Discovery and assessment of existing infrastructure, dependencies, and performance baselines
• Migration wave planning that groups workloads by risk, dependency, and business priority
• Automated server and database migration using Azure-native tooling
• Validation and testing protocols to confirm functionality and performance post-migration
• Cost modeling and Azure landing zone setup aligned with the Cloud Adoption Framework
• Cutover coordination and rollback planning to protect business continuity

How we work

Mallow follows a phased migration methodology: assess, plan, migrate, optimize. We begin with automated discovery to build a complete picture of your environment, then create a wave plan that balances speed with risk mitigation. Post-migration, we conduct optimization reviews to right-size resources and eliminate waste.
