The Server Labs are experts in cloud migrations and our proven 5 step solution will ensure your migration is smooth and hassle free. TSL is trusted by pioneers like Genomics England Limited to migrate their VMs and massive databases to ASW native cloud.
We’ve captured our years of expertise in a tried and tested 5 step plan that provides an assessment and feasibility report; an evaluation of your cloud options, a migration plan and implementation, and even a full managed service where we run your environment for you once it’s safely on the AWS cloud native platform. Each of the steps is discrete – you can choose to use any or all of them, depending on your organisation’s individual requirements.

TSL will provide a detailed analysis of AWS cloud services, and benefits of each for your business. We’ll use our Intelligent Workload Placement approach to recommend options including migration to AWS native services, and segmenting workloads for different AWS solutions, such as serverless, containerised, EC2 hosted, EVS residual, alternative hosted virtualisation technology.
At the end of this stage, you’ll have an AWS Service Comparison, which is an evaluation of AWS services including their TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and ROI (Return on Investment). You’ll also have a risk assessment and risk mitigation strategies; architecture recommendations and analysis of which services will not transition, with options and costs.

In step 3, we’ll provide a detailed step-by-step plan for migrating workloads to AWS cloud services, sequenced in order of risk and cost reduction. The strategy will consider the ‘7Rs’ of migration for each workload - Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Relocate, Retain, Retire.
The plan will include key milestones and deliverables, dependencies, and internal and external resources needed. It doesn’t stop at migration though – we’ll also create a post migration support plan.

Having planned the implementation, we’ll implement the plan. We’ll migrate and modernise the identified key services. We’ll retire and decommission redundant ones to reduce cost and increase security. We can apply for AWS funding to support migration and mobilisation.
As part of step 4 we’ll provide tooling to automate and assure migration; Implement quality assurance and rollback strategies for business continuity; review compliance; and carry out performance and other non-functional testing.

Once you’ve migrated and modernised, perhaps you don’t want to have to manage the new environment yourself. If that’s the case, TSL will handle it for you. We’ll manage your cloud infrastructure to ensure it remains secure, resilient, and always available post-migration. We’ll carry out 24/7 monitoring and incident response; manage your security and compliance; and put in place backup, disaster recovery and business continuity strategies.
On top of that, we offer a premium extras service which adds performance and cost optimisation; ongoing enhancements and automation; training and upskilling.
