Get started on your Microsoft Cloud journey with Transparity
Whether your environment is on-premises, co-located or provided via a legacy private Cloud platform, Transparity’s technical experts will ensure that your move to Azure is well planned and stress free. As a leading direct Microsoft CSP Provider and Gold pureplay partner, we use the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework to ensure a smooth migration. And with our experts achieving the elite Microsoft Advanced Specialisation in Windows and SQL Server Migration, you can be certain your organisation’s digital transformation is in safe hands.
In addition to Azure migration, Transparity offer a number of Azure Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP) Managed Services, ranging from services available to all customers via our Cloud Management Platform, to our best-in-class Premium Support Service.
As a principle, Transparity follow the guidance set out within Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF). This framework encourages the consideration of a number of areas over various stages to ensure that standards are aligned with accepted best practices when moving or creating resources in Azure.
The framework covers various stages from defining a strategy to managing and governing the migrated workloads.
Our migration approach focuses on the five main areas of migration implementation:
Transparity start the migration journey by understanding your requirements and desired outcomes in detail to ensure migration projects provide value across all business areas, including Governance, Commercial, Technical, Security, Access and Risk.
We’ll gain an understanding of your workloads in technical detail to ensure that once moved to Azure, they provide the performance you require whilst reducing management overhead and optimising costs. We also use this phase as an opportunity to understand your internal skilling and Cloud Operating Model to ensure you can support the workloads once migrated.
This phase includes the creation of Azure services that provide the foundations for your migrated workloads whilst ensuring best practices are followed and implemented against common design areas, such as Networking, Identity, Governance, Security, Operations and Disaster Recovery.
Workloads are migrated into the previously-created best practice Landing Zone based on a Migration Plan and objectives taken from the initial phases to ensure success.
Once your workloads are moved and running in Azure, we’ll work closely with you to ensure each workload is tested and optimised for Security, Cost Management and Governance, providing you with confidence as you continue on your Microsoft Cloud journey.
