Hybrid cloud migration the Ascend way

At Ascend, we prioritise lift-and-shift migrations. We believe they're the best way to get you into your new cloud environment swiftly and smoothly.


Along the way, we get rid of any redundant workloads – so you can expect a carbon copy that's slightly brighter than before.


We also offer maintenance and optimisation services once the migration is complete.

Our proven five-step process

We plan and execute tailored hybrid cloud migrations for companies of all shapes and sizes.


It doesn't matter how big you are or what your new cloud environment will look like. We have the expertise and experience to get you there in line with your business goals, needs and timescales.

1. Discover

First, we lay the foundations for success by getting to know your unique needs and challenges.


This covers both technical considerations (workloads and connectivity) and your day-to-day operations (project deadlines and tolerance for disruption).


Once we've taken the lay of the land, we're ready to map out your journey from A to B.

2. Design

It's now time to put pen to paper and craft a robust design that meets your business goals and confirms the decisions made so far.


Skip this stage and there'll be bumps in the road – do it well and deployment will be swift and painless. For us, it's a no-brainer.

3. Plan

With the blueprint in place, it's time to lay out how and when to get things done – a strict project timeline with itemised migration waves.


This involves determining the criticality and complexity of different workloads. Once grouped, we identify any issues to do with networking, security and data protection. Spotting them at this stage makes for a smoother final migration.

4. Build

Next, we construct and test your new infrastructure. Think of it as building the road on which your migration will take place.


Testing is critical. Each component and service gets inspected and tested – and the data we gain from these tests is used to fine-tune the migration process.


And if we spot any changes that need to be made, we'll communicate these to you clearly and promptly.

5. Execute

Finally, we put the plan into action – on time and on budget. As the migration unfolds, we'll update you as to its progress every step of the way.


Most of the time, it's plain sailing from here. But if there are any problems, you're in safe hands. Our knowledge, experience and flexibility mean we can problem-solve on the job ensuring the best possible outcome for your business.

Flexible pricing

You're in the driver's seat. Whether you pay per VM or per project, you can expect competitive, flexible pricing and generous bulk discounts.

  • What is a hybrid cloud?

    Broadly speaking, there are two primary ways to deliver the cloud: first, through an on-premise data centre, and secondly, via a public cloud provider. A hybrid cloud uses a combination of on-premise resources with public cloud provision.

  • What are the benefits of a hybrid cloud?

    In a word: flexibility. Public clouds are cost-efficient and easily scalable, whereas private clouds give you greater administrative control over sensitive data. A hybrid cloud infrastructure allows you to "toggle" between the two, optimising operations and unlocking new cost efficiencies.

  • What's the difference between hybrid clouds and multi-clouds?

    A hybrid cloud is a combination of private and public infrastructure. A multi-cloud is split between different public providers.

  • Is the cloud safe?

    At Ascend, we're keenly aware of customer concerns regarding data security. Our tried-and-tested five-step migration process will get your workloads to a hybrid cloud environment without any loss of data – and we also offer post-migration support with cloud backups and disaster recovery.
