Lift & Shift Planning & Migration to Azure
Simplify Your Cloud Journey with Expert Lift-and-Shift Migration to Microsoft Azure
Migrating applications and workloads to the cloud is no longer a question of “if” but “when.” The Lift-and-Shift migration approach offers businesses an efficient and cost-effective way to move their existing on-premises applications to the cloud without major changes to the architecture. At Tarika Tech, we specialize in helping businesses of all sizes plan and execute seamless lift-and-shift migrations to Microsoft Azure, enabling you to leverage the power of the cloud quickly and efficiently.
What is Lift-and-Shift Migration?
Lift-and-Shift, also known as rehosting, involves moving applications and workloads from on-premise environments to the cloud “as-is” without altering the core architecture. This migration strategy is ideal for organizations that want to migrate to the cloud rapidly while avoiding the complexities of redesigning or refactoring their applications. By migrating to Microsoft Azure, businesses gain immediate benefits such as improved scalability, enhanced performance, and cost savings, all while preserving the familiar functionality of their existing systems.

At Tarika Tech, we take a strategic and systematic approach to lift-and-shift migration, ensuring that your transition to the Azure cloud is smooth, efficient, and aligned with your business goals. Here’s how we do it:
Comprehensive Assessment & Planning
Successful cloud migration starts with a thorough understanding of your current environment. Tarika Tech conducts a detailed assessment of your on-premise infrastructure, applications, and dependencies to determine the feasibility of the lift-and-shift migration approach.
Infrastructure Analysis
We analyze your existing hardware, network, and storage to identify which applications can be seamlessly moved to the cloud.
Application Review
