How we work with you
Avoid costly architectural missteps with an exact map of your legacy dependencies.
Deploy automated discovery tools to untangle "spaghetti" legacy architectures and analyze active workload profiles. This thorough assessment identifies ideal rehosting candidates and calculates pre-migration cloud cost estimations.
Protect your bottom line by matching cloud resource spend to actual workload reality.
Create a meticulous engineering blueprint that matches actual server utilization data with precise cloud allocations. This design phase establishes secure landing zones configured to inherit elite security postures from day one.
Secure immediate cloud scalability without the timeline or expense of rewriting code.
Shift virtual machines, servers, and data repositories to the cloud using automated migration tools without modifying underlying code. High-speed Change Data Capture (CDC) tools maintain real-time data synchronization to guarantee a seamless cutover.
Guarantee flawless application performance the moment your new environment goes live.
Execute rigorous post-migration testing to confirm that applications run identically to their on-premises baselines. Validation scripts verify absolute data consistency to ensure the stability and performance of your new environment.
Free your internal engineering team to focus on high-value analytics and AI innovation.
Provide detailed ecosystem documentation and modern infrastructure training to empower your internal engineering teams. Continuous 24/7 proactive monitoring handles complex cloud management, troubleshooting, and database stabilization.
We migrate your workloads across major cloud providers.
Supply chain provider gets full database control with a seamless OCI migration.
Faced with an inflexible vendor that restricted critical software updates, a premier logistics provider partnered with Pythian to reclaim operational autonomy. Our consultants executed a zero-disruption lift-and-shift data migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), delivering complete control over database patching and infrastructure performance, backed by ongoing Managed Services.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about Lift and Shift Consulting Services
Lift and Shift Consulting Services, also known as rehosting, involve migrating your applications and data from an on-premise data center to the cloud with minimal or no changes to the underlying code. It is the fastest and most direct way to begin leveraging the benefits of the cloud, such as reduced costs and improved scalability.
A Lift and Shift migration is an excellent choice when you need to exit a data center quickly, want to reduce infrastructure costs, or are looking to build a foundation for future modernization. It allows you to move your workloads to the cloud with minimal disruption, providing immediate benefits while setting you up for more advanced, cloud-native projects in the future.
A Lift and Shift (rehosting) migration moves your application as-is. Other strategies, like re-platforming or refactoring, involve modifying the application to take better advantage of cloud-native features, but they are more time-consuming and complex. An experienced migration consultant can help you determine the best migration approach for each of your workloads.
Our consultants manage the data transfer in the background and use advanced data synchronization and real-time replication to ensure your business remains fully operational throughout the migration. This allows for a seamless transition to your new cloud environment with minimal to no downtime, protecting your revenue and customer experience.
