Frequently Asked Questions

What is cloud migration consulting?
Cloud migration consulting helps organizations plan and execute the move from on-premises infrastructure to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. This includes workload assessment, architecture design, security planning, cost modeling, vendor selection, and implementation oversight. A consultant ensures you migrate the right workloads in the right order without disrupting business operations.
How long does a cloud migration take?
Timeline depends on scope and complexity. A simple migration of email and collaboration tools can take 2-4 weeks. Moving core business applications typically takes 3-6 months. Enterprise-wide migrations with legacy applications may span 12-18 months. Phased approaches that migrate low-risk workloads first reduce risk and build organizational confidence.
What's the difference between public, private, and hybrid cloud?
Public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) provides shared infrastructure with pay-as-you-go pricing and virtually unlimited scale. Private cloud dedicates infrastructure to your organization, offering more control over security and compliance. Hybrid cloud combines both, keeping sensitive workloads on private infrastructure while leveraging public cloud for scalability. Most organizations end up with a hybrid approach.
How do you choose between AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud?
The choice depends on your existing technology ecosystem, specific workload requirements, compliance needs, and team expertise. Azure integrates deeply with Microsoft 365 environments. AWS has the broadest service catalog and largest market share. Google Cloud excels in data analytics and machine learning. Many organizations use multiple clouds for different workloads — the key is choosing deliberately, not by default.
How can we reduce cloud costs?
Common strategies include right-sizing instances to match actual usage, using reserved instances or savings plans for predictable workloads, implementing auto-scaling, eliminating unused resources, and leveraging spot instances for non-critical tasks. A FinOps practice that continuously monitors and optimizes cloud spending typically saves organizations 20-30% on their cloud bills.
