Cloud Migration & Infrastructure Modernization

Google Cloud Migration

Move infrastructure with control. Build a foundation for what comes next.

Cloud migration is not a bulk transfer exercise. It is a sequence of workload decisions, platform controls, cutover plans, and operating changes.

Altivate assesses the estate, establishes a secure Google Cloud landing zone, moves workloads in controlled waves, and leaves the organization with the observability, resilience, and cost ownership needed to operate well.

The outcome: a migration program that reduces avoidable risk while creating a reusable foundation for applications, data, AI, and SAP.

Scope

The infrastructure modernization work

Estate discovery & wave planning

Map servers, applications, databases, storage, dependencies, recovery objectives, licensing, and compliance constraints. Group workloads into practical migration waves.

Landing zones & governance

Design resource hierarchy, identity, organization policies, network segmentation, encryption, logging, and guardrails that can scale beyond the first workload.

Compute & workload migration

Move suitable workloads to Compute Engine using tested replication, validation, cutover, rollback, and stabilization procedures—not a single high-risk event.

Hybrid connectivity

Design Cloud VPN or Cloud Interconnect, DNS, routing, firewall policy, and operational ownership for the period when on-premises and cloud environments must coexist.

Storage, backup & disaster recovery

Place object, file, backup, and recovery workloads against explicit retention, sovereignty, RPO, and RTO requirements. Test recovery instead of assuming it.

Reliability, FinOps & managed operations

Establish monitoring, incident response, capacity, cost allocation, rightsizing, commitments, patching, and service review practices after the migration team exits.

Approach

Modernize selectively, not indiscriminately

Some workloads should move first and improve later. Others justify replatforming before cutover. The decision should follow business value, technical risk, lifecycle, and operating cost.

  • Rehost to Compute Engine
  • Replatform managed services
  • Retire or retain
  • Landing zone design
  • Migration Center
  • Migrate to Virtual Machines
  • Cloud Storage
  • Backup and DR
  • Cloud VPN & Interconnect
  • Cloud Operations
Entry point

Start with a migration readiness assessment

A focused assessment establishes scope, dependency confidence, target architecture, migration waves, risks, cost assumptions, and the first 90-day delivery plan.
