On-Premise to Cloud Migration · Stirling
On-Premise to Cloud Migration in Stirling
Moving Stirling organisations from their own hardware into the cloud, where the change is to the cost model rather than to the cost. On-premise servers are sized for peak demand and paid for once; the same sizing running continuously in the cloud is billed every hour — so a straight rehost frequently costs more than the hardware did.
Why this comes up
The problem
Servers sized for peak load were rehosted unchanged, and the monthly bill exceeds the old hardware amortisation.
What you get
What we deliver
- Actual utilisation measured before sizing anything in the cloud
- Workloads assessed individually, since not all of them belong there
- Scaling used where demand varies, because that is what justifies the model
- Managed services considered in place of self-managed equivalents
- Data transfer costs modelled, as these are routinely omitted from estimates
- Ongoing cost ownership assigned, since a cloud bill grows without a custodian

On-Premise to Cloud Migration in Stirling — common questions
- Why does lift and shift cost more?
- Because on-premise sizing assumes idle capacity is free. A server bought for month-end load sits underused the rest of the year at no additional cost, whereas the cloud equivalent is billed for every one of those hours at the peak specification.
- So how do savings actually arise?
- From changing how the workload runs. Scaling with demand, shutting down non-production environments overnight and replacing self-managed components with managed ones is where the economics improve — none of which happens automatically by moving the machines.
- Should everything move?
- No, and a plan that says so is more credible than one that does not. Steady workloads with predictable load and no growth are often cheaper on owned hardware, and a hybrid position is a legitimate outcome rather than a failure of ambition.
- Who watches the bill afterwards?
- This needs naming, because cloud spend grows quietly. Environments created for a project and never removed, oversized instances and forgotten storage accumulate steadily, and estates without somebody responsible for reviewing cost drift upward every month without anyone deciding to spend more.
