ServicesCloud Migration & Deployment

Existing applications onto Azure or a private cloud — moved, stabilised, monitored

Move to the cloud. Keep it running well.

We migrate existing applications, mostly .NET and SQL Server, onto cloud infrastructure: Azure, or a private cloud when the data has to stay in a specific country or a specific rack. Then we set up the environments, the deployment pipeline, the monitoring and the cost controls that make it a system you can run, not a server that happens to be somewhere else.

Isometric illustration of an application migrating into cloud infrastructure

We are specific about what this is.

We are not a cloud consultancy, and we do not design enterprise cloud architectures from a blank page. What we do is narrower and more useful to most mid-sized teams: take the application you already have, move it onto infrastructure that will still be supported in five years, and make sure it runs at least as well as before, with a way to deploy, a way to see what is happening, and a bill you can explain.

The migrations that go wrong are rarely the technical lift. They are the ones where nobody planned the data cutover, nobody tested the failover, the secrets moved in a text file, or the monthly cost came as a surprise in month two. Those are the parts we plan first.

What we deliver.

A migration is finished when the application has been in production for a month without anyone thinking about the infrastructure. That is the standard we plan to.

  • Assessment of the application as it runs today: dependencies, data volumes, integration points, what must not change for the users, and what the move is a chance to fix
  • Target choice made with you: Azure App Service, virtual machines or Azure Functions for background work; or a private Windows cloud when residency, contracts or a hosting partner decide it
  • Environment setup: development, QA, test and live as separate environments from day one, so the migration itself is rehearsed before it is real
  • Database migration to Azure SQL or SQL Server in the cloud, with reconciliation, so the numbers can be proven against the old system before cutover
  • Secrets, identities and network rules moved properly: least-privilege service accounts, secrets out of files and into a vault, databases unreachable from the public internet
  • CI/CD pipeline and deployment automation, so the first cloud release and every one after it walk the same repeatable path
  • Monitoring, alerting, backups and rehearsed restores, so you know something is wrong before your users do, and can get back to a known state
  • Cost-aware configuration and a clean handover: documented environments and your own access to everything, so you are never locked out of your own infrastructure

Why exbisoft.

Migrated for real load, not for a demo.

A licence-renewal platform we built for a startup runs on Azure with SQL Server and Azure Functions handling the background renewal processes. Partners embed its API in websites, apps, point-of-sale systems and ATMs, so the infrastructure has to hold up under always-on public use. We migrated a restaurant point-of-sale platform onto Azure to carry merchant-scale transaction volume the same way.

Private cloud when that is the right answer.

A multi-tenant ERP for a group of medical products companies runs on a private Windows cloud, because that is where the group's data has to live. Cloud migration is not always a hyperscaler; it is the infrastructure that fits your obligations, set up with the same discipline.

Focused scope, done well.

We do one thing here: move and stabilise existing applications, mostly .NET. We say so plainly rather than overselling architecture work we do not specialise in, and we bring in the right partner when a migration needs more than that.

Monitoring from day one.

Migration is not finished when the application boots in the cloud. We set up the monitoring, alerting and backups that tell you if something goes wrong, and we rehearse the restore, so a backup is a recovery plan rather than a file.

A clean handover.

Documentation, environment diagrams and your own credentials to every resource. If you ever want to run it without us, you can. Most clients keep us on for the operations afterwards, but that is a choice, not a lock-in.
