AWS Migration in Glasgow
Moving a Glasgow business's servers, databases and applications onto AWS. Landing zone built first so workloads arrive into an environment with structure, then machines and data replicated across and cut over in waves rather than in one weekend that has to go perfectly.
Why this comes up
The problem
Migrations that start by copying servers into a bare account inherit every existing problem and add cloud billing on top. The structure has to exist before the workloads arrive, or it never gets built at all.
What you get
What we deliver
- Landing zone with account separation, networking and identity in place before migration
- Discovery of what you actually run, including the servers nobody remembered
- Server replication into AWS with cutover rehearsed and timed
- Database migration with continuous replication, so the final switch is brief
- Instances right-sized on arrival rather than matching old hardware specifications
- Source environment retained until each wave is signed off

Working in Glasgow
Scotland
Glasgow's engineering and renewables base gives it an industrial character quite unlike Edinburgh's, and Scottish clients should note that contracts here fall under Scots law, which we account for in engagement terms.
Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites.

AWS Migration in Glasgow — common questions
- How long does a migration take?
- For a modest estate, weeks. The variable is rarely the copying — it is discovering undocumented dependencies and agreeing cutover windows with the business. Discovery routinely finds servers nobody could account for.
- Which AWS region should we use?
- London for most UK businesses, on latency and data residency. Ireland occasionally works out cheaper for certain services, and that trade is worth seeing rather than assuming — but for regulated data the residency question decides it.
- Should we re-architect while migrating?
- Usually not at the same time. Doing both means a failure could be either, and diagnosing it takes twice as long. Migrate first, stabilise, then modernise the workloads that justify it.
- What happens to our licences?
- Some transfer, some do not, and some cost considerably more on cloud infrastructure than on hardware you own. Windows and SQL Server licensing in particular needs checking during discovery rather than after, because it occasionally changes the business case entirely and is far easier to plan for than to discover on the first invoice.
- Do you work with businesses across Glasgow City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Glasgow and the surrounding Glasgow City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Glasgow businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites. Beyond that we work across Engineering, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Creative Industries and Renewables.
- Do you cover the areas around Glasgow?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh. Glasgow is an urban area of roughly 1,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Glasgow City region rather than the city boundary alone.
