Node4's Azure Cloud Migration Services offer scalable and predictable processes to help organizations move on-premises or cloud assets to their chosen platform. Utilizing Microsoft's standard tools like Azure Migrate and Azure Data Studio, Node4 employs a runbook-based approach with pre- and post-migration checks to minimize disruption. Services include Azure Migration Service for public cloud, Azure Hybrid Migration Service for hybrid cloud with Azure Stack HCI, and Cloud Migration Factory for migrations between clouds, or to Node4's Virtual Data Centre (VDC) platform.
Key features include controlled migration of servers and applications, alignment with Microsoft's best practices, and opportunities to optimize costs. Delivered by certified Cloud Architects, the service integrates with Node4 consulting engagements, accelerating time-to-value while ensuring security, compliance, and operational efficiency. The engagement involves a Planning Workshop, run-book creation, infrastructure analysis using Azure Migrate, and functional testing with client teams.
Clients can expect migrated workloads in Azure and clear next steps for their Azure journey. Node4's services complement other offerings on the cloud journey, including cloud maturity assessments, deployment services, and cloud automation consulting. The company emphasizes a controlled, service-by-service migration approach aligned with industry regulations and standards like ISO 27001 and NHS standards.
