Cloud Migration Without
the Horror Stories.
Everyone has a cloud migration horror story. The project that took 3x longer than planned. The application that did not work after migration. The costs that spiraled. 72% of workloads are now cloud-hosted, but getting there does not have to be painful. Our migration methodology, refined over hundreds of projects, prioritizes business continuity, predictable outcomes, and applications that work better after migration, not worse.
Plan Your MigrationThe Challenge
Lift-and-Shift Is a Lie You Tell Yourself
The vendor says "just move it to the cloud." Your team estimates 3 months. Nine months later, you are still migrating. The applications that were supposed to "just work" need re-architecture. The database migration corrupted date fields. The network latency is killing performance. Your cloud bill is 40% higher than the on-prem infrastructure it replaced. This is what happens when migration is treated as a forklift exercise instead of an engineering project.
Our Approach
We treat migration as re-engineering, not relocation. Every workload is assessed: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, or retain. We build the landing zone with security and cost optimization from day one. We migrate in waves, validating each wave before starting the next. And we do not declare victory until the old environment is decommissioned and the cloud environment is performing better than what it replaced.
What We Deliver
Capabilities
Discovery & Assessment
Automated and manual discovery of applications, dependencies, and configurations. Complete inventory before migration planning begins. No surprises.
Migration Planning
Wave-based migration strategy. Prioritization by business value, technical complexity, and dependencies. Realistic timelines with rollback plans for every workload.
Application Migration
Rehost, replatform, or refactor: the right approach for each workload. Minimal downtime cutovers. Rollback procedures tested and ready.
Data Migration
Secure data transfer with validation. Incremental sync for large datasets. Zero data loss guaranteed. Schema conversion, replication, and cutover orchestration.
Testing & Validation
Functional, performance, and integration testing. Business user acceptance. Production readiness gates. Performance baselines before and after migration.
Post-Migration Optimization
Right-size instances, implement auto-scaling, optimize storage tiers, and tune networking. Most organizations overspend by 30%+ in the first year. We fix that.
Our Process
How We Work
Discover
Complete inventory of applications, infrastructure, dependencies. Understand what you are moving before you move it.
Assess
Evaluate each workload: rehost, replatform, refactor, or retire? Build migration approach by application. Classify using the 6 Rs.
Design
Target architecture, landing zone setup, security configuration. Foundation before migration. Cost governance from day one.
Migrate
Wave-based migration with testing gates. Validate each wave before proceeding. Rollback capability maintained. 24/7 war room during critical cutovers.
Optimize
Post-migration optimization. Right-size resources, implement cost controls, document operations. Decommission legacy infrastructure.
Why Flynaut
What Makes Us Different
Risk-Focused Methodology
Every step is designed to reduce risk. Testing gates, rollback procedures, dependency validation. We catch problems before they become crises.
Business Continuity Priority
Your business cannot stop during migration. We design for minimal disruption with cutovers planned around your operational realities.
Platform Honest
We recommend AWS, Azure, or GCP based on your workloads, your team, and your existing investments. No preferred platform. Preferred outcome.
Security at Every Stage
Our cybersecurity team reviews the landing zone, the migration process, and the final architecture. Cloud security misconfigurations are the #1 cause of cloud breaches.
Results
Healthcare Provider Migrates 150 Applications to Azure in 8 Months, Zero Downtime
A healthcare system needed to exit two data centers within 12 months due to lease expiration. 150 applications including critical clinical systems. Zero tolerance for downtime affecting patient care. Wave-based migration prioritizing clinical systems. Weekend cutovers with full rollback capability. Performance testing with synthetic patient loads.
Results are illustrative, inspired by real client engagements. Specific metrics pending client verification.
