What Cloud Migration Actually Gets You

Your servers aren’t getting younger. That server room isn’t getting cheaper to cool. When you move to the cloud the right way, you’re looking at 30-40% cost savings, disaster recovery that works in 2 hours instead of 8, and the ability to scale without buying new hardware.

Your team works from anywhere without VPN headaches. Data backs up automatically to multiple locations. When something breaks—and it will—you’re not scrambling to find parts for equipment that went out of support three years ago.

Deerwood businesses we work with typically see their IT headaches drop significantly within 90 days. Not because cloud is magic, but because it eliminates most of the stuff that breaks at 2 AM.

Managed Cloud Services Deerwood CA

We've Been Doing This Since 2003

We’ve been handling IT for Contra Costa County businesses for over 20 years. We’ve seen every type of server failure, every brand of equipment that seemed bulletproof until it wasn’t, every “simple” migration that turned into a three-week nightmare.

That experience matters when you’re trusting someone with your business data. We know which cloud providers actually deliver on uptime promises, which migration strategies work for businesses like yours, and how to set things up so you’re not locked into one vendor forever.

Our clients in Deerwood and throughout Contra Costa County stick with us because we fix problems before they become emergencies. When you call, you get someone who knows your setup. Not a call center in another state.

Cloud Migration Process Deerwood

Here's How We Actually Do This

Week one starts with a Cloud Readiness Assessment. We inventory everything you have, identify what needs to move first, spot the dependencies that trip up most migrations. No surprises. No “we’ll figure it out as we go.”

Weeks two through four are actual migration and optimization. We move your systems in phases, test everything twice, optimize costs so you’re not paying for resources you don’t need. The goal is zero downtime during business hours—and we hit it consistently.

After that, you get ongoing Managed Cloud Care. We monitor everything 24/7, review costs monthly to catch any drift, meet quarterly to discuss new technologies that might benefit your business. Think of it as having a cloud engineer on staff without the salary and benefits.

How long does cloud migration actually take for a small business?

Most small to medium businesses complete their core migration in 2-4 weeks, but the timeline depends on how much data you have and how complex your current setup is. We’ve done migrations in as little as one week for simple setups. Others took two months for businesses with custom applications and complex databases. The key is proper planning. During our Cloud Readiness Assessment, we map out all your systems, identify dependencies, create a realistic timeline. We don’t rush migrations because that’s when things break. We’d rather take an extra week to do it right than spend months fixing problems from a rushed job. Most businesses see immediate benefits within the first week—better backup reliability, improved remote access, reduced server maintenance headaches. The full cost savings and performance improvements typically show up within 60-90 days as we optimize your cloud setup.
Your data gets copied to the cloud first, then we sync any changes before switching over. We never delete your original data until you’ve confirmed everything is working correctly in the cloud. This means you have multiple copies of your data throughout the entire process. We use encrypted connections for all data transfers and work during off-hours whenever possible to minimize disruption. For critical systems, we often run both the old and new systems in parallel for a few days to make sure everything works exactly as expected. The biggest risk isn’t data loss—it’s downtime during the switchover. That’s why we schedule migrations during your slowest business hours and have rollback plans ready. In over 20 years of doing this, we’ve never had a client lose data during a migration. We’ve had a few where we had to roll back and try again, but the data was always safe.
Most businesses save 30-40% on their total IT costs within the first year after moving to the cloud. You eliminate server hardware purchases, reduce electricity and cooling costs, spend less on maintenance and repairs. The typical payback period is 12-18 months. The upfront migration cost varies based on how much data you have and how complex your systems are. Simple migrations might cost $5,000-$15,000, while complex setups with custom applications can run $25,000-$50,000. We provide a detailed cost estimate after the Cloud Readiness Assessment so there are no surprises. What catches most businesses off guard is ongoing cost management. Cloud bills can creep up if nobody’s monitoring them, which is why we include monthly cost reviews. We’ve seen businesses save an additional 20-30% on their cloud bills just by rightsizing resources and eliminating unused services.
This is the biggest concern most businesses have about moving to the cloud, and it’s a valid one. If your internet goes down, you can’t access cloud-based applications. That’s why we recommend redundant internet connections for businesses that can’t afford downtime. Most modern cloud applications have offline modes that sync when connectivity returns. For critical applications, we can set up failover internet connections through cellular or satellite providers. The cost is usually much less than maintaining on-premises servers with their own backup power and cooling systems. The reality is that cloud providers like AWS and Azure have better uptime than most on-premises servers. Your local server is more likely to fail than the cloud service. We help you evaluate the risks and costs of different approaches so you can make the decision that makes sense for your business, not just follow the latest trend.
You get 24/7 monitoring from our Operations Center, monthly cost reviews to prevent bill creep, and quarterly innovation briefings to discuss new technologies that might benefit your business. When something needs attention, we usually know about it before you do. Our support includes both reactive fixes when things break and proactive maintenance to prevent problems. We handle software updates, security patches, and performance optimization. If you need changes to your cloud setup, we can usually implement them remotely within a few hours. For Deerwood businesses, we also provide on-site support when needed. Sometimes you need someone physically present to troubleshoot network issues or help with new equipment. We’re local, so we can be on-site the same day for urgent issues. Most problems get resolved remotely, but it’s good to know local help is available when you need it.
We build compliance-ready infrastructure from day one with HIPAA, PCI, and SOC 2 controls already configured. This isn’t something we add later—it’s part of the basic cloud setup. We also handle the ongoing security monitoring and updates that keep you compliant. Cloud security is typically better than what most small businesses can implement on-premises. You get enterprise-grade firewalls, intrusion detection, and data encryption without having to buy and maintain expensive security appliances. The major cloud providers invest billions in security—more than any small business could afford. We conduct regular security assessments and provide documentation for compliance audits. If you’re in healthcare, finance, or another regulated industry, we work with your compliance team to ensure everything meets industry requirements. The goal is to make security and compliance automatic, not something you have to think about every day.
