  • What are the biggest risks during server migration, and how do you prevent disasters?

How do you actually achieve "zero downtime" during server migration?
  • We implement live and phased migration techniques that keep your services running throughout the transition. This typically involves setting up the new environment in parallel, syncing data in real-time, and then switching traffic over during a brief maintenance window (often just minutes). For complex applications, we use techniques like DNS switching, load balancer redirects, and database replication to ensure business continuity without service interruptions.

What are the biggest risks during server migration, and how do you prevent disasters?
  • The main risks include data loss, application incompatibility, extended downtime, and configuration errors. We mitigate these through comprehensive backup and data protection before starting, detailed compatibility testing in the new environment, step-by-step validation at each phase, and always maintaining rollback capabilities. Our customized migration planning identifies potential issues upfront rather than discovering them mid-migration.

How long does a typical server migration actually take from start to finish?
  • Timeline depends on your environment's complexity, but our process includes initial assessment, migration plan design, environment setup, data transfer, and testing phases. Simple website migrations might complete in days, while complex enterprise environments with multiple databases and applications can take weeks. We provide realistic timelines during initial assessment and keep you informed throughout each phase.

Can you migrate between completely different platforms, like Linux to Windows?
  • Yes, our platform versatility covers all major environments and technologies. Whether you're moving from Linux to Windows between virtualization platforms, or upgrading operating systems, we support cross-platform migrations. Our team handles the technical challenges of compatibility, application porting, and configuration translation between different environments.

What happens after migration is complete? Will my new server perform better?
  • Post-migration optimization is included in our service. Once migration is complete, we fine-tune system configurations, verify data integrity, and optimize your new server for long-term success. This often results in better performance than your original setup. We also offer optional ongoing management and monitoring, so you're never left alone after the move with questions or issues.
