Accessing the power and agility of cloud-based workloads is essential key to success when striving towards maintaining a successfull business. However, even after identifying the workloads that would benefit most from migration, there are many potential pitfalls and obstacles to overcome before the benefits of transformation can be truly realised. Beyond simply delivering migration, AWS Migrate and Modernise for Education also lays the groundwork for modernisation on AWS. With AWS accreditation and proven success migrating workloads for clients, CirrusHQ ensures your migration and modernisation are geared to overcome your organisation’s unique challenges and meet its specific goals.

A well-managed migration process

Building on the work of other products in CirrusHQ’s migration portfolio, including AWS Migration Assessment and AWS Migration Foundations and Mobilisation, AWS Migrate and Modernise takes your organisation a step further using the technical foundations previously established. Through a robust set of deliverables, this product de-risks migration and safely transforms your infrastructure to ensure your workloads and your business are prepared to take full advantage of the AWS cloud.
