Migration Services — On-prem to Azure & AWS

Vendor-neutral workload migration from your data centre to Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services. Run by Australian engineers, governed against the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework and the AWS Well-Architected Framework, delivered on a fixed-time, fixed-outcome plan.

7Rs
Per-workload disposition (retire, retain, rehost, replatform, repurchase, refactor, relocate)
CAF / WAR
Aligned to Microsoft CAF and AWS Well-Architected from day one
FinOps
Cost guardrails, tagging, reservations and right-sizing built in pre-cutover
Our approach

Five phases. Cloud-agnostic. Repeatable.

01

Discover

Agentless application discovery, dependency mapping and performance baselining via Azure Migrate, AWS Application Discovery Service or third-party tooling.

02

Assess

Per-workload 7Rs disposition, target architecture, TCO model, security and compliance gap analysis.

03

Land

Build the landing zone — Azure Subscription Vending Machine or AWS Control Tower. IaC pipelines. Governance, identity, networking, observability.

04

Migrate

Wave-based execution. Azure Migrate, Site Recovery, Database Migration Service or AWS MGN, DMS. Cutover runbooks rehearsed before go-live.

05

Optimise & Operate

Right-sizing, reserved-instance / savings-plan strategy, FinOps reporting and hand-over to our Infrastructure Managed Services team.

Migration to Microsoft Azure

Built on the Cloud Adoption Framework

Landing Zone

Enterprise-scale Azure landing zone with Subscription Vending Machine, hub-and-spoke networking, Microsoft Entra ID integration, Defender for Cloud baseline and Azure Policy guardrails.

Workload patterns

Windows & Linux VMs to Azure VMs / AVS, SQL Server to Azure SQL MI, file shares to Azure Files / NetApp Files, SAP on Azure, VMware to AVS lift-and-shift, Active Directory integration.

Migration to AWS

Built on the AWS Well-Architected Framework

Landing Zone

Multi-account landing zone via AWS Control Tower, organisation-wide SCPs, IAM Identity Center, GuardDuty, Security Hub and CloudTrail baselining.

Workload patterns

Windows & Linux servers to EC2 via AWS MGN, databases to RDS / Aurora via DMS, file shares to FSx / EFS, VMware Cloud on AWS for lift-and-shift, AWS Outposts for hybrid edge.

Why System Squared

Cloud-neutral, financially honest

Two-cloud certified

Active Microsoft Solutions Partner for Infrastructure Azure and AWS Advanced Services Partner. Engineers hold ASA Expert and AWS SAP certifications.

FinOps from day one

Cost is a first-class architectural decision — tagging, budgets, anomaly alerts, reservation/SP planning before the first VM lights up.

Migrate & run

Optional hand-over to our 24×7 Infrastructure Managed Services bench so there is no "project ends, operations starts" cliff.

Plan the migration before you sign the cloud bill.

Book a fixed-fee migration assessment. You'll leave with a per-workload 7Rs disposition, a target architecture, a TCO model and a deliverable plan.
