Azure migration · UK
Azure migration services
Azure migration services move your servers, databases and VMware estate from a server room or data centre into Microsoft Azure, usually into the UK South (London) and UK West (Cardiff) regions. We start with a free assessment, then give you a written plan and both costs before anything moves.
- Windows Server, SQL Server, VMware and whole data centres
- UK South and UK West by default
- Microsoft funding checked

Email the teamWill there be downtime?
Usually only a short outage. Azure Migrate copies each server to Azure while it keeps running. At cut-over the server is shut down for a final sync, so each wave switches over in a window you agree.
How long will it take?
It depends on how many servers move and how they depend on each other. Your plan dates every wave before you agree anything.
What will it cost?
The assessment is free. Your proposal gives two numbers: the one-off migration cost and the monthly Azure cost.
Can we reuse our Windows Server and SQL Server licences?
Often. Azure Hybrid Benefit covers eligible licences with Software Assurance or qualifying subscriptions.
Do we have to move everything?
No. The assessment says what to move, retire or leave, and why.
