India's go-to AWS
migration partner.
Migration is the highest-stakes cloud project an enterprise will ever run. Get it wrong and you face downtime, data loss, blown budgets, and unhappy users. We've spent 7 years building the muscle memory to get it right — first time, every time.
Battle-tested playbook
60+ migrations across BFSI, e-commerce, SaaS, healthcare, and government. From 50-server SMBs to 800+ server enterprise data-centre exits. The edge cases? We've seen them.
AWS MAP funding
As a MAP-qualified partner, we can unlock AWS migration funding for eligible workloads — typically offsetting 25-50% of professional services fees. We do the application work, you keep the savings.
Zero-downtime methodology
Continuous replication via AWS MGN + DMS, weighted DNS rollouts via Route 53, blue-green deployments. Our average cutover window is 2-4 hours during off-peak weekends.
India-resident from day one
All workloads land in ap-south-1 (Mumbai) and ap-south-2 (Hyderabad). Service Control Policies enforce data residency. DPDP, RBI, SEBI, IRDAI guardrails configured before first byte moves.
A 14-day blueprint
for your AWS migration.
Free for new enterprise engagements. We deploy AWS Application Discovery Service, map your dependencies, classify workloads against the 7 R's framework, and deliver a wave-by-wave migration plan with INR-projected costs.
From discovery to wave plan in 14 days. Zero commitment.
The same migration assessment we run for ₹4.5L+ engagements — free for qualified Indian enterprises evaluating an AWS migration with workloads above 30 servers or ₹3L/mo equivalent on-premise spend.
- ✓Application Discovery Service deployed in your environment
- ✓Full server inventory + dependency map (Migration Hub)
- ✓7 R's classification per workload + recommendation
- ✓Wave plan with timing, dependencies, risks
- ✓3-year TCO comparison: on-prem vs AWS (INR)
- ✓AWS MAP funding eligibility & estimated offset
Seven ways to move
a workload. We pick the right one.
Not every workload should be lifted-and-shifted. Some need replatforming, some refactoring, some retirement. The 7 R's is AWS's framework for matching the right migration approach to each application — and we've used it on 60+ engagements.
Rehost (Lift & Shift)
Migrate VMs as-is using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN). Fastest path. Best for workloads with tight deadlines or limited refactoring appetite.
Replatform (Lift & Tinker)
Move with optimisations: self-managed databases → RDS / Aurora, file servers → EFS / FSx, web tier → ALB + Auto Scaling. Cost-efficient sweet spot.
Refactor (Re-architect)
Rewrite as cloud-native: monolith → microservices, EC2 → Lambda + API Gateway, batch → Step Functions. Highest long-term value, longest investment.
Repurchase (Drop & Shop)
Replace legacy app with SaaS: on-prem CRM → Salesforce/Dynamics, exchange → M365, payroll → SAP SuccessFactors. Killer move when feasible.
Retire (Decommission)
Discovery often reveals "ghost servers" — unused, forgotten, or duplicated. Average enterprise has 10-15% workloads that should simply be turned off. Free savings.
Retain (Keep on-prem)
Some workloads stay home: hardware-bound licensed software, sub-millisecond manufacturing systems, legacy mainframes. Hybrid via Direct Connect & Outposts.
Relocate (Hypervisor-level)
VMware Cloud on AWS — relocate entire vSphere clusters without modification. Best for VMware-heavy enterprises wanting AWS without OS-level changes.
From discovery to
go-live, in 5 phases.
We follow AWS's Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) methodology — the same 5-phase framework AWS uses for its Fortune 500 migrations. Battle-tested, predictable, fundable.
Assess
Application Discovery Service deployed. Migration readiness assessment. TCO / ROI model.
Mobilize
Landing zone built (Control Tower + AWS Organizations). Networking, IAM, security baseline.
Migrate (Wave-by-wave)
Continuous replication via MGN + DMS. Test environments validated. Production cutover in waves.
Cutover
Weighted DNS rollout via Route 53. Final delta sync. Validation. Old environment kept as warm DR for 30 days.
Modernize & Operate
Post-migration optimization. Cost monitoring. Right-sizing. Refactor candidates revisited. 24×7 NOC.
Whatever you're
migrating from.
Different sources need different tooling. We've delivered every combination — from on-premise VMware to multi-cloud consolidations.
On-premise data centre
Most common scenario for Indian enterprises. We use AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) for VM-level replication, DataSync for bulk file transfers, and Snowball Edge for >50TB moves.
Microsoft Azure
Azure VM → EC2 via MGN. SQL Server / Postgres via DMS with continuous replication. Cosmos DB → DynamoDB. Function Apps → Lambda. M365 retained as SaaS.
Google Cloud Platform
GCE → EC2 via MGN. Cloud SQL → RDS via DMS. BigQuery → Redshift via SCT + DMS. Cloud Functions → Lambda. Firestore → DynamoDB.
Database migrations
Specialty: zero-downtime database moves. SQL Server → RDS / Aurora MySQL. Oracle → Aurora Postgres (with Schema Conversion Tool). MongoDB → DocumentDB.
VMware to AWS
Relocate full vSphere clusters via VMware Cloud on AWS. HCX migration with vMotion live moves. Best for VMware-heavy enterprises avoiding OS-level changes.
Multi-cloud consolidation
Workloads scattered across multiple clouds? We consolidate to AWS or design a multi-cloud target with federated identity, centralised observability, and a single billing pane.
Multi-AZ landing zone.
DR-ready out the box.
Every CloudTechTiq migration lands into an AWS Control Tower landing zone with multi-AZ deployment in ap-south-1 (Mumbai) and warm DR replication to ap-south-2 (Hyderabad). Built for compliance, cost, and continuity from day zero.
142 servers, 14 weeks,
zero customer-facing downtime.
Anonymised case study from a recent CloudTechTiq migration. Indian fintech with 142 production servers across two on-premise data centres in Mumbai & Bangalore — moved to AWS ap-south-1 with full DR to ap-south-2 in 14 weeks.
