India's go-to AWS
migration partner.
Migration is the highest-stakes cloud project an enterprise will ever run. Get it wrong and you face downtime, data loss, blown budgets, and unhappy users. We've spent 7 years building the muscle memory to get it right — first time, every time.
Battle-tested playbook
60+ migrations across BFSI, e-commerce, SaaS, healthcare, and government. From 50-server SMBs to 800+ server enterprise data-centre exits. The edge cases? We've seen them.
AWS MAP funding
As a MAP-qualified partner, we can unlock AWS migration funding for eligible workloads — typically offsetting 25-50% of professional services fees. We do the application work, you keep the savings.
Zero-downtime methodology
Continuous replication via AWS MGN + DMS, weighted DNS rollouts via Route 53, blue-green deployments. Our average cutover window is 2-4 hours during off-peak weekends.
India-resident from day one
All workloads land in ap-south-1 (Mumbai) and ap-south-2 (Hyderabad). Service Control Policies enforce data residency. DPDP, RBI, SEBI, IRDAI guardrails configured before first byte moves.
Migrating a business.
Funded from day one.
AWS-backed migration funding (MAP) plus proof-of-concept credits for Indian enterprises moving workloads — including VMware exits — to AWS. Here's exactly what's on the table.
Migration funding (MAP) + POC credits
AWS-backed funding that offsets one-time migration and proof-of-concept costs when you move workloads — including VMware exits — to AWS.
Run the assessment, size the workload, design the target architecture, submit the milestone-based funding request, and execute.
Funding is milestone-based and scoped to a committed migration plan. AWS approves amounts case by case, not upfront.
AWS sets all eligibility, amounts and terms, and funding is subject to AWS approval and program changes. CloudTechtiq helps you qualify and apply — we do not grant credits directly. Figures shown are current published program maximums and may change.
Seven ways to move
a workload. We pick the right one.
Not every workload should be lifted-and-shifted. Some need replatforming, some refactoring, some retirement. The 7 R's is AWS's framework for matching the right migration approach to each application — and we've used it on 60+ engagements.
Rehost (Lift & Shift)
Migrate VMs as-is using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN). Fastest path. Best for workloads with tight deadlines or limited refactoring appetite.
Replatform (Lift & Tinker)
Move with optimisations: self-managed databases → RDS / Aurora, file servers → EFS / FSx, web tier → ALB + Auto Scaling. Cost-efficient sweet spot.
Refactor (Re-architect)
Rewrite as cloud-native: monolith → microservices, EC2 → Lambda + API Gateway, batch → Step Functions. Highest long-term value, longest investment.
Repurchase (Drop & Shop)
Replace legacy app with SaaS: on-prem CRM → Salesforce/Dynamics, exchange → M365, payroll → SAP SuccessFactors. Killer move when feasible.
Retire (Decommission)
Discovery often reveals "ghost servers" — unused, forgotten, or duplicated. Average enterprise has 10-15% workloads that should simply be turned off. Free savings.
Retain (Keep on-prem)
Some workloads stay home: hardware-bound licensed software, sub-millisecond manufacturing systems, legacy mainframes. Hybrid via Direct Connect & Outposts.
Relocate (Hypervisor-level)
VMware Cloud on AWS — relocate entire vSphere clusters without modification. Best for VMware-heavy enterprises wanting AWS without OS-level changes.
From discovery to
go-live, in 5 phases.
We follow AWS's Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) methodology — the same 5-phase framework AWS uses for its Fortune 500 migrations. Battle-tested, predictable, fundable.
Assess
Application Discovery Service deployed. Migration readiness assessment. TCO / ROI model.
Mobilize
Landing zone built (Control Tower + AWS Organizations). Networking, IAM, security baseline.
Migrate (Wave-by-wave)
Continuous replication via MGN + DMS. Test environments validated. Production cutover in waves.
Cutover
Weighted DNS rollout via Route 53. Final delta sync. Validation. Old environment kept as warm DR for 30 days.
Modernize & Operate
Post-migration optimization. Cost monitoring. Right-sizing. Refactor candidates revisited. 24×7 NOC.
Whatever you're
migrating from.
Different sources need different tooling. We've delivered every combination — from on-premise VMware to multi-cloud consolidations.
On-premise data centre
Most common scenario for Indian enterprises. We use AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) for VM-level replication, DataSync for bulk file transfers, and Snowball Edge for >50TB moves.
Microsoft Azure
Azure VM → EC2 via MGN. SQL Server / Postgres via DMS with continuous replication. Cosmos DB → DynamoDB. Function Apps → Lambda. M365 retained as SaaS.
Google Cloud Platform
GCE → EC2 via MGN. Cloud SQL → RDS via DMS. BigQuery → Redshift via SCT + DMS. Cloud Functions → Lambda. Firestore → DynamoDB.
Database migrations
Specialty: zero-downtime database moves. SQL Server → RDS / Aurora MySQL. Oracle → Aurora Postgres (with Schema Conversion Tool). MongoDB → DocumentDB.
VMware to AWS
Relocate full vSphere clusters via VMware Cloud on AWS. HCX migration with vMotion live moves. Best for VMware-heavy enterprises avoiding OS-level changes.
Multi-cloud consolidation
Workloads scattered across multiple clouds? We consolidate to AWS or design a multi-cloud target with federated identity, centralised observability, and a single billing pane.
Multi-AZ landing zone.
DR-ready out the box.
Every CloudTechTiq migration lands into an AWS Control Tower landing zone with multi-AZ deployment in ap-south-1 (Mumbai) and warm DR replication to ap-south-2 (Hyderabad). Built for compliance, cost, and continuity from day zero.
Versus other migration
partners in India.
Most “AWS migration partners” sub-contract delivery. We don't. Every engineer is on our payroll, in India, accountable to your account manager.
