> Azure migration specialists for UK organisations. Move Windows Server, SQL Server and VMware to Azure with a free assessment and Microsoft funding guidance.

ComputeCloud plans and delivers Azure migrations for UK organisations. Servers, SQL Server, VMware or a whole data centre, assessed for free, costed up front and migrated in tested waves.

## About ComputeCloud

ComputeCloud is a UK Azure migration service. It helps organisations move servers, SQL Server databases, VMware environments and whole data centres to Microsoft Azure. Every engagement starts with a free assessment that sets out what should move, roughly what it will cost to migrate and to run, and whether Microsoft funding is available. Workloads then move in planned, tested waves onto a secure Azure foundation that keeps UK data in UK regions.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does an Azure migration involve?

An Azure migration moves your servers, databases and applications from your own hardware or data centre into Microsoft Azure. It runs in five stages. First an assessment of what you have, then a costed plan, then a secure Azure "landing zone", then migration in tested waves, and finally optimisation to keep running costs down.

### How long does an Azure migration take?

Most small-to-mid-sized migrations (up to around 50 servers) take 6–16 weeks from assessment to go-live. Larger estates and full data-centre exits typically take 3–9 months and run in multiple waves.

### How much does it cost to migrate to Azure?

For UK organisations, indicative one-off migration costs range from around £5,000–£20,000 for under 10 servers to £60,000+ for 50–200 servers, before any Microsoft funding. Your monthly Azure bill depends on how the workloads are sized and licensed. See our [Azure migration cost guide](https://computecloud.co.uk/azure-migration/cost/) for the detail.

### Can Microsoft fund part of my migration?

Often, yes. Microsoft's Azure Accelerate programme can provide partner-delivered funding, Azure credits and expert deployment help for eligible migrations. Eligibility depends on your organisation and the project, and a qualified partner has to nominate you. We check this as part of the [free assessment](https://computecloud.co.uk/assessment/).

### Will our data stay in the UK?

Yes, if you want it to. Azure has two UK regions, UK South (London) and UK West (Cardiff), so your workloads, backups and disaster-recovery copies can all stay in the UK.

### Do you work with organisations outside London?

Yes. We support organisations across the UK, with dedicated pages for [London](https://computecloud.co.uk/london/), [Manchester](https://computecloud.co.uk/manchester/), [Birmingham](https://computecloud.co.uk/birmingham/), [Leeds](https://computecloud.co.uk/leeds/) and [Bristol](https://computecloud.co.uk/bristol/). Delivery is remote-first, with on-site workshops when they help.
