We can help in either direction

Move to or from the cloud with an experienced partner

When migrating to a cloud service, or stepping back into an on-premises or hybrid cloud arrangement, you will want one thing: a seamless transition.  A poorly-planned migration could temporarily cripple your organisation and cost many thousands in damage mitigation. 

Computer One’s team are veterans of hundreds of migrations.  We have seen and conquered all the common (and some quite unique) gotchas and developed proven techniques to make the process completely painless.  We can help make your migration successful.

Key Features of our Cloud Migration Services

  • Expertly Managed, Low-Risk Migrations
    We implement structured, multi-phase approaches with continuous oversight and comprehensive rollback plans, minimising downtime and business disruption.
  • Data Centre Agnostic
    We have worked with all kinds of professionally hosted and on-premises data centres. We can design an ideal solution from scratch or help you migrate to a location you have already chosen.
  • Your Equipment or Ours
    We partner with multiple private data centre providers around the country who will host your equipment under our management. Or, if you prefer to keep your infrastructure in a private cloud, but you don’t want to buy your own hardware, we can provide the resources you need on our equipment.
  • Hybrid Cloud is no problem
    A hybrid cloud solution may be the best of all worlds. Take advantage of public cloud features like cheap storage and platform redundancy, but keep the low latency and hands-on control of an on-premises solution for certain workloads. We can deliver such a solution.
  • Deep Local Expertise and Support
    Our Australian-based specialists deliver timely responses, with availability aligned to your operational hours.
  • Regulatory Compliance and Robust Security
    We maintain stringent ISO-27001, PCI-DSS, and government-level compliance standards, ensuring your data is secure and placed according to your sovereignty requirements at all times.
  • Strong Post-Migration Support
    We provide continuous management post-migration, including security evaluations, performance optimisation, and ongoing governance to sustain operational excellence.
  • Client-Centric, Accountable Service
    We prioritise your satisfaction, with high client approval ratings, dedicated account management, and transparent communication at every step.

Our Cloud Migration Process

We assist organisations in transitioning smoothly to or from cloud platforms by following a structured and transparent approach that reduces risk

  1. Step 1: Infrastructure Assessment and Discovery
    Our team thoroughly examines your existing IT environment, identifying workloads, dependencies, and potential migration challenges. We document your infrastructure comprehensively, focusing on your performance requirements, data security, and compliance obligations.
  2. Step 2: Tailored Migration Strategy Development
    We create a customised migration plan, applying best-practice methodologies, including detailed 6 R’s assessments (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain). In collaboration with you, each workload is mapped precisely to the optimal migration approach.
  3. Step 3: Preparation and Readiness
    Before commencing migration, we ensure your team and environment are fully prepared. This includes training staff where necessary, setting up or reinforcing governance frameworks, and implementing security protocols to safeguard data integrity.
  1. Step 4: Migration and Transition
    We execute your cloud migration in carefully managed stages, using industry-leading tools and a robust change management process. Our specialists identify and resolve any issues promptly to ensure minimal disruption and continuous business operations.
  2. Step 5: Optimisation and Validation
    Following migration, our team optimises your cloud environment for performance, security, and cost-efficiency. We perform thorough validation tests, confirming each workload functions as expected and complies with security and regulatory requirements.
  3. Step 6: Ongoing Support and Management
    Post-migration, if you wish, our Australian support team can remain actively involved via continuous monitoring, regular performance reviews, and environment improvements. Our commitment extends beyond migration, providing sustained assistance to maintain security and scalability over time.

Cloud Migration and Repatriation Services FAQs

What is cloud repatriation, and when should my organisation consider it?

Cloud repatriation is the process of moving workloads from a public cloud back to on-premises or private cloud infrastructure. Consider it if you're facing unexpected costs, compliance concerns, latency issues, or if your workloads require greater control and customisation.

How do you determine which migration approach is best suited for our workloads?

We apply the industry-standard 6 R’s method (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain) to thoroughly assess each workload individually. This ensures alignment with your performance requirements, budget, security standards, and strategic goals.

What are the primary risks associated with cloud migration, and how are they mitigated?

The primary risks include downtime, data loss, security vulnerabilities, and cost overruns. These risks are mitigated through meticulous planning, phased migrations, comprehensive backup strategies, ongoing governance, and detailed rollback plans.

How do you ensure compliance with Australian data sovereignty regulations?

We strictly adhere to ISO-27001, PCI-DSS, and Australian government compliance standards. Our local Australian teams manage and store your data securely in compliant environments, ensuring adherence to data residency and governance requirements.

Can I maintain a hybrid cloud environment, combining on-premises and public cloud infrastructure?

Yes. A hybrid solution is often the ideal setup, combining public cloud’s cost-efficiency and scalability with on-premises infrastructure’s performance and control. We specialise in seamlessly integrating hybrid environments tailored specifically to your needs.

How can migrating to the cloud impact my organisation's disaster recovery capabilities?

Migrating to the cloud typically enhances disaster recovery capabilities by providing robust, geographically dispersed data storage and rapid recovery options. Cloud platforms offer redundancy, automatic backups, and faster restoration of services, significantly reducing business disruption risk.

How will you control costs during and after our cloud migration?

We proactively manage your cloud costs through detailed planning, ongoing monitoring, automated optimisation tools, and regular reviews. Our approach ensures predictable budgeting and prevents unexpected expenditure increases.

What happens if something goes wrong during the migration process?

We implement comprehensive risk mitigation strategies, including detailed rollback procedures and ongoing monitoring. If an issue arises, our dedicated local support team immediately addresses the problem, ensuring minimal disruption.

Is vendor lock-in a concern, and how do you help us maintain flexibility?

Vendor lock-in can limit flexibility, so we advocate a multi-cloud or hybrid approach wherever suitable. Our agnostic stance enables workload portability, provides flexibility, and ensures you’re never tied exclusively to one provider or technology.

How long does a typical cloud migration or repatriation project take?

The duration depends on factors such as infrastructure complexity, data volume, workload types, and chosen migration strategies. Typically, projects range from several weeks to a few months, with clear timelines defined during the initial planning stage.
