HW Cloud Migration
HW Cloud Migration — Zero-Downtime Infrastructure Transition
HW Cloud Migration is our professional service for moving Smartex Money deployments from on-premise hardware to public, private, or hybrid cloud infrastructure. We handle the entire migration — from architecture design and data migration to cutover and post-migration validation — with zero downtime and full data integrity.
Whether you are moving from a single server to AWS, migrating between cloud providers, or adopting a hybrid model for regulatory compliance, our certified cloud architects ensure a smooth transition. Every migration includes rollback contingency — if anything goes wrong, we can revert to the original infrastructure within minutes.
Migration Services
Public Cloud
Migrate to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. Auto-scaling groups, managed databases, and CDN integration. Cost optimization through reserved instances and spot pricing.
Private Cloud
Deploy on private cloud infrastructure for data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. OpenStack, VMware vSphere, or Kubernetes-based private cloud orchestration.
Hybrid Cloud
Keep sensitive data on-premise while scaling compute to the cloud. Smart routing between environments. Regulatory data stays in-country, burst capacity comes from cloud.
Database Migration
Migrate MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB to managed cloud databases. Logical replication for zero-downtime migration. Data validation and consistency checks at every step.
Cutover Management
Planned cutover with rollback contingency. Pre-cutover validation, real-time sync, and post-cutover verification. DNS switchover with low TTL for instant rollback.
Performance Optimization
Post-migration performance tuning. Auto-scaling configuration, database query optimization, and cache layer setup. Benchmark before and after to ensure no performance degradation.
Migration Process
1. Assessment
Full inventory of existing infrastructure, dependencies, and performance baselines. Identify migration candidates, compatibility issues, and regulatory constraints.
2. Architecture Design
Target cloud architecture with auto-scaling, high availability, and disaster recovery. Network topology, security groups, and data flow design. Cost projections.
3. Staging Migration
Full migration to staging cloud environment. Validate performance, data integrity, and security. Load testing and user acceptance testing.
4. Cutover
Planned production cutover with zero-downtime sync. DNS switchover, traffic routing, and real-time monitoring. Rollback ready if any issues detected.
5. Validation
Post-migration validation — data integrity checks, performance benchmarks, and security audit. Confirm all modules operational and data consistent.
6. Handover
Documentation, training, and operational handover. Runbooks for common operations. Monitoring dashboards and alerting configured. 30-day support included.
Cloud Platforms
Amazon Web Services
AWS Well-Architected Framework. EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, ALB, CloudFront, and IAM integration. AWS Marketplace deployment templates available. FinTech-optimized configurations.
Microsoft Azure
Azure Cloud Design Patterns. Azure VM, Azure SQL Database, Azure Cache for Redis, Application Gateway, and Azure AD integration. Compliance with European data residency.
Google Cloud Platform
GCP Architecture Framework. Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, Memorystore, Cloud Load Balancing, and Cloud Identity. BigQuery integration for analytics.
Private Cloud
OpenStack, VMware vSphere, Proxmox, or bare metal. Full control over data location and security. Suitable for jurisdictions requiring data sovereignty.
