Azure Cloud Migration Services
Right-sized migration strategy, funded execution, and zero-downtime delivery on Microsoft Azure. F9 Infotech plans and runs your migration using Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework, so nothing is improvised.
Azure migrations need an Azure-native plan, not a copy-pasted one
Azure's landing zone model, identity structure (Entra ID), and governance tooling differ meaningfully from other clouds. Treating an Azure migration like a generic cloud move leaves governance gaps and missed cost efficiencies.
F9 Infotech, a Microsoft partner, assesses every workload in your portfolio and maps it to the right migration strategy — then executes using Microsoft's own Cloud Adoption Framework methodology, with support from Microsoft's Azure migration funding programs where eligible.
The six ways we can move a workload to Azure
Evaluated per workload against Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework migration strategies.
Lift and shift
Move the workload as-is onto Azure VMs — fastest path off legacy infrastructure, minimal changes required.
Lift, tinker, and shift
Targeted optimizations during the move — like shifting to Azure SQL Managed Instance — without a full rebuild.
Adjust for the cloud
Modify the application to take advantage of Azure PaaS services while keeping the core architecture intact.
Re-design for cloud-native
Rebuild around Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Functions, or microservices for workloads that justify the investment.
Decommission
Turn off workloads no longer needed — commonly 10-20% of a legacy portfolio once properly assessed.
Revisit later
Keep certain workloads on-premises or in place for now, with a documented plan to reassess on your timeline.
Delivered through Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework
F9 Infotech executes each phase using Azure Migrate and related tooling, and helps you access available Microsoft migration funding along the way.
Assess & Plan
Portfolio discovery with Azure Migrate, dependency mapping, and a right-sized migration strategy per workload with a business case for the move.
Typically 2–4 weeksMigrate & Modernize
Landing zone deployment, workload-by-workload migration using Azure Migrate, Azure Site Recovery, and Azure Database Migration Service, with validation at every step.
Scales with portfolio sizeOptimize & Govern
Cost, performance, and governance tuning post-migration — right-sizing resources and applying Azure Policy guardrails.
OngoingMigrations can be partially funded through Microsoft's Azure migration programs
Microsoft's partner-led migration and modernization funding can offset assessment costs and support landing zone deployment or migration at scale for eligible customers. Program names, eligibility, and funding amounts are set by Microsoft and have changed in recent years — F9 Infotech will confirm current terms as part of your assessment.
Built on Microsoft's native migration and governance tools
Deliverables from every engagement
- Portfolio assessment — every workload mapped to a recommended migration strategy using Azure Migrate, with dependencies and risks documented.
- Business case & TCO analysis — a cost comparison justifying the migration and prioritizing sequencing.
- Azure landing zone — a governed foundation aligned to the Cloud Adoption Framework, with Entra ID and Azure Policy configured.
- Migration & cutover runbooks — a detailed, workload-level execution plan with rollback procedures.
- Microsoft funding support — assistance identifying and applying for available Azure migration funding.
- Post-migration validation — performance, security, and cost checks once workloads land on Azure.
One team, both hyperscalers
F9 Infotech is both an AWS and Microsoft partner — meaning your Azure migration is assessed on its own merits, not steered toward whichever cloud we happen to specialize in. The same certified architects who design your Azure landing zone stay engaged through governance, resilience, and cost optimization after cutover, so the plan built in the Assess phase is the plan that's actually executed.
