Infrastructure Migration Services

Sphere provides IT migration services across cloud, data centers, VMware estates, applications, and data platforms—built around dependency visibility, secure landing zones, cutover discipline, and cost control.

What teams come here to fix

Migration speed comes from removing rework before it starts. The items below are the most common sources of rework we see across real programs.

Hidden dependencies

Late discoveries change sequencing and create emergency work during cutovers. We map the systems and owners needed to plan waves that hold.
Landing zone gaps

Identity, network controls, logging, and policies decide whether workloads behave predictably after the move. We define the platform baseline as a deliverable.
Cutover uncertainty

Downtime windows need a runbook, validation steps, and a recovery plan your teams rehearse. We build cutover discipline into every wave.
Cost volatility

Run-rate changes after migration when sizing, storage tiers, and shared services are chosen on the fly. We attach a cost model to the wave plan.

IT Migration Services by cluster

Choose the cluster that matches your current pressure point. Sphere runs migrations as a program: portfolio inventory, dependency mapping, landing zone readiness, wave execution, and stabilization.

A migration program your teams can execute

Step 1: Assess (2–3 weeks)

Scope, inventory, risks, target architecture, and wave plan. Cost model and delivery ranges tied to the same plan.

Step 2: Foundation

Landing zone build, security baseline, identity patterns, and observability. Tooling and access model prepared for wave execution.

Step 3: Waves

Wave-by-wave migrations with runbooks and validation gates. Stabilization support tied to owners and operating hours.

Step 4: Optimize

Performance tuning and cost optimization backlog. Operational handoff and ongoing platform governance.

Migration Delivery Pods

Migration delivery needs a stable core team that can hold design intent through execution. Sphere pods include infrastructure and cloud architects, migration engineers, data engineers, security engineering, QA automation, and a cutover lead coordinating runbooks and go-live readiness. The pod works in weekly milestones tied to waves and releases, with executive visibility that stays grounded in concrete deliverables: readiness decisions, cutover dates, and risk status.

Pod roles include

Infrastructure/Cloud Architects, Migration Engineers, Data Engineers, Security Engineering, QA & Automation, Cutover Lead, Ops Enablement

Cadence

Weekly milestone review, risk register updates, wave readiness checkpoints

Frequently asked question

The assessment is fixed-scope and execution-oriented. We produce a portfolio inventory with workload owners and criticality, dependency mapping across systems, a landing zone readiness review, a wave plan with sequencing logic, and a cost model tied to the same plan. The output is designed to move directly into foundation and wave execution without rework.

Timelines depend on portfolio size, dependency density, regulatory constraints, and acceptable downtime windows. The assessment phase takes 2–3 weeks. Foundation readiness typically runs 3–6 weeks depending on complexity. Wave execution runs in parallel tracks aligned to business calendars. We provide delivery ranges tied to the wave plan rather than generic duration estimates.

Every wave includes a defined cutover runbook with sequencing, validation steps, rollback conditions, and owner assignments. Downtime windows are planned against business impact, not convenience. We rehearse high-risk cutovers and define recovery criteria before go-live. Cutover discipline is treated as a deliverable, not an afterthought.

We map application, data, identity, network, and integration dependencies before sequencing waves. Late discovery is the most common cause of migration rework. Dependency visibility drives grouping logic and execution order. Each wave is built to hold under real operating conditions.

Sphere runs migrations across AWS, Azure, and GCP, as well as cloud-to-cloud transitions. We support VMware estates (vSphere, VCF), alternative virtualization platforms, Kubernetes-based targets, and hybrid models. For data platforms, we handle database and warehouse migrations including Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, Teradata, Netezza, Snowflake, BigQuery, and PostgreSQL-based targets.

Yes. Landing zone baselines include identity controls, logging, network policies, and security guardrails aligned to audit requirements. We treat compliance visibility as part of platform readiness. The destination environment is defined as an operable baseline for security and operations teams.

Yes. Application migration sequencing is aligned to release calendars and dependency risk. Waves are structured around stabilization windows and test gates. The goal is continuity of delivery, not a freeze of the business.

A core pod typically includes infrastructure or cloud architects, migration engineers, data engineers where required, security engineering, QA automation, and a cutover lead. The pod works in weekly milestones tied to wave readiness checkpoints, with executive visibility grounded in concrete deliverables and risk status.

We move into stabilization and optimization. That includes performance tuning, cost refinement, operational handoff, governance controls, and documentation transfer. The goal is a platform your teams can operate without dependency on ongoing firefighting.

Teams usually engage when one of the following becomes visible: audit gaps, infrastructure aging risk, data center exit deadlines, M&A consolidation pressure, escalating cloud spend without clarity, or operational instability during releases. If outages, audit findings, or spend drift are unacceptable, planning should start before the pressure escalates.
