Get Started
Send us your details and our team will contact you within 24 hours.
Our process starts with a comprehensive assessment of your current IT infrastructure. We evaluate your existing systems, applications, and data to understand your business requirements and objectives. This helps us create a detailed migration plan that aligns with your goals, ensuring a smooth transformation to the cloud.
We develop a customised cloud migration strategy based on the assessment results. This involves designing a strong architecture that meets your performance, security, and compliance needs. Our team of cloud migration specialists design a roadmap that outlines the steps, timelines, and resources required for a successful migration.
During this phase, we begin the actual migration of your applications and data to the cloud. We use advanced tools and methodologies to transfer your workloads with minimal downtime. Our team ensures that all data is securely migrated, and any potential risks are reduced to maintain business continuity.
Once the migration is complete, we conduct careful testing to validate the performance and security of your new cloud environment. This includes performance testing, security audits, and compliance checks. We ensure that all applications are functioning as expected and that your data is secure and accessible.
After the migration, we continue to monitor and optimise your cloud environment. Our team provides ongoing support to address any issues and make continuous improvements. We offer managed services to ensure your cloud infrastructure remains efficient, scalable, and aligned with your evolving business needs.

Types of Cloud Migration Solutions We Offer
Choosing the right cloud migration approach is important for a successful move. At Radium, we offer a range of cloud migration solutions designed to meet your specific needs and goals.
Rehost (Lift and Shift)
Rehosting involves moving your existing applications to the cloud without significant modifications. This quick and straightforward approach allows you to migrate your workloads with minimal disruption. It's ideal for businesses looking to rapidly migrate to the cloud and gain immediate benefits from cloud infrastructure.
Replatform
Replatforming involves making a few cloud optimisations to achieve tangible benefits without changing the core architecture of your applications. This approach strikes a balance between speed and efficiency, allowing you to take advantage of cloud capabilities while minimising the need for extensive code changes.
Refactor (Re Architect)
Refactoring, or rearchitecting, involves reimagining how your applications are built, typically to use cloud-native features fully. This method provides the most significant benefits in terms of performance, scalability, and agility. It's perfect for businesses looking to optimise their applications for the cloud environment.
Repurchase (Move to a Different Product)
Repurchasing involves switching to a different product, typically a cloud-native solution like SaaS. This approach is suitable for businesses who want to replace outdated applications with modern, cloud-based alternatives that offer enhanced functionality and ease of use.
Retire
Retiring involves decommissioning applications that are no longer useful or cost-effective. By analysing your application portfolio, we identify which applications can be safely retired, thereby reducing your overall IT complexity and costs.
How We Ensure Security & Compliance During Cloud Migration?
Ensuring the security and compliance of your data during cloud migration is a top priority for Radium. Our comprehensive approach addresses these crucial aspects at every stage of the migration process.
- Data Encryption
- Access Controls
- Compliance with Regulations
We use strong encryption methods to protect your data both in transit and at rest. This ensures that your sensitive information remains secure and inaccessible to unauthorised parties during the migration process.
Implementing strict access controls is essential to maintaining data security. We set up detailed access management protocols to ensure that only authorised personnel can access your data, minimising the risk of breaches.
Compliance with industry regulations and standards is a cornerstone of our cloud migration services. We ensure that your migration process adheres to relevant laws, such as GDPR and HIPAA, ensuring you that your data is handled responsibly.
