A renewal is coming up
A hardware, data-centre or hosting contract is about to renew, and nobody wants to sign for another term.
What we doPlan the move around the renewal date, starting with what costs the most to keep.
Bridging the technology gap
Move to the cloud, and modernize what you move. We move your servers, applications and databases to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud in small waves, with a tested way back at every step, and improve them on the way.
Run and optimize. Monitoring, backups and cost controls from the first day on the new platform
MOUNTSMY provides cloud migration services from Ahmedabad, India: assessment, planning and migration of servers, applications and databases to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, with optional modernization into containers and managed databases. Work happens in waves, each with a tested rollback, in your own cloud accounts.
Most clients move more than one layer. Here is how a typical plan looks.
An example path, drawn by us. Your assessment shows yours.
Each one is solvable. These are the ones we hear most, and what we do about them.
A hardware, data-centre or hosting contract is about to renew, and nobody wants to sign for another term.
Database and operating-system licences and fixed hosting fees grow every year.
One large application means every release is slow and risky.
A single server, no tested backup, and one person who knows how it works.
Reports are built by hand from several systems and are out of date by the time they arrive.
The last attempt caused an outage, so the project stalled.
The benefits depend on what you move and how, so we put numbers on them in the assessment, not in a brochure.
No servers to refresh, rack or replace, and no capacity bought years ahead.
We map what really needs a licence, so you pay for fewer of them.
Containers and automated pipelines turn quarterly releases into routine ones.
Backups, failover and multiple zones are built in, and rehearsed.
Add capacity for a busy season and remove it afterwards.
Your data lands somewhere it can be queried, reported on and used by models.
Not everything should move the same way. We pick one of these for each workload, and explain why.
| Strategy | What it means | Often used when |
|---|---|---|
| Retire | Switch the system off | Nobody uses it any more |
| Retain | Leave it where it is for now | A move is not worth the cost or risk yet |
| Rehost | Move it as it is to cloud servers | You need to leave a data centre quickly |
| Relocate | Move virtual machines between platforms with little change | You already run on VMware or a similar platform |
| Replatform | Move with small changes, such as a managed database | A few changes bring big savings without a rewrite |
| Repurchase | Replace it with a SaaS product | A standard product does the job better |
| Refactor | Redesign it for the cloud | The application limits growth, and the value justifies the work |
Pick one or combine them. Each comes with the native tools of the cloud you choose.
Servers and virtual machines moved to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud in rehearsed waves.
Every stage ends with something you can review, and nothing changes in production without your approval.
Find out what you run, what it costs and what depends on what. Read-only.
Give read-only access and a person who knows the systems.
We change nothing in this stage.
Choose the cloud, the order of moves and the way back.
Approve the plan, the waves and the downtime windows.
The plan includes a rollback for every wave.
Move the first wave, learn from it, then move the rest.
Test the migrated systems and sign off each wave.
The old system stays untouched until the new one is proven.
Improve what was moved: containers, managed databases, automated releases.
Choose which applications are worth the effort.
Each change ships on its own and can be reversed.
Keep it healthy, secure and affordable after the move.
Decide whether to run it yourselves or keep us on monthly support.
Everything is in your accounts, so you can take over any time.
Where we differ is mostly in how we plan, who does the work and what you keep.
Most migrations that fail do so for a handful of predictable reasons.
Every wave has a way back. If a check fails, we roll back and fix it, and nothing is lost.
Most clients begin with the assessment.
Inventory, strategy and a written plan with a cost comparison. Yours to keep, whoever does the work.
Good for: Knowing whether and how to moveA clear scope, timeline and price for a defined piece of work.
Good for: A specific goalFixes, audits and short tasks, billed by the hour.
Good for: Small or urgent jobsPart-time or full-time engineers working inside your tools, by the month.
Good for: Ongoing work and supportThe right plan depends on the data you hold and the traffic you see. These are the areas we have built for.
Moving is the middle of the story: assess first, run and optimize after.
Planning and carrying out the move of servers, applications and databases from your own hardware, a data centre or a hosting provider to a public cloud such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, usually with some modernization on the way.
It depends on how much you move and how tangled it is. A single application can take days to weeks; a whole estate takes months. The assessment gives you a timeline before you commit.
We aim for as little as possible. We rehearse each move on a copy, agree a window with you and keep the old system running until the new one is proven.
Yes. Every wave has a tested way back, and the source system is left untouched until you sign off.
It depends on your team, your customers and your budget. We give a straight recommendation after the assessment, including when staying where you are is the better answer.
No. Many applications move as they are, or with small changes. We only suggest a rewrite when the application limits the business and the value is clear.
Migration moves a workload to a new platform. Modernization changes the workload itself, for example into containers or a managed database, to get more from the new platform.
Often, yes. We check what really needs a licensed engine and move the rest to open-source or managed options such as PostgreSQL. Savings depend on your contracts, so we confirm them in the assessment.
Yes. We can choose Indian regions such as AWS Mumbai or Azure Central India, and set up access rules and encryption to match your requirements.
The first call is free. We then send a written plan and quote for the assessment itself, or fold it into a fixed-scope project.
You do. We work inside your accounts, and the code and documentation are yours.
Yes. Many clients keep us on monthly for monitoring, patching and cost reviews. See our managed cloud service.
