Our Approach to Data Centre Migration
1.58 MinA comprehensive end-to-end approach
Our end-to-end process provides a systematic, risk-free approach to managing a planned transition to your new environment and achieving your data centre optimisation vision.
To minimise downtime and disruption, everything we do is underpinned by our industry-leading, end-to-end workload migration platform – vClarus – a key contributor to the enviable reputation we’ve earned in this field.
From application discovery to solution design and flawless workload migration, we’ve got it covered.
-
1. Assess and advise
Talking to all stakeholders – including business owners – we tightly define the scope and goals of the migration project and establish the preferred target architecture standards for migrated workloads in your destination environment.
-
2. Discovery
Next, we undertake a comprehensive application and systems discovery process – evaluating all security, integration, internal and external dependencies – and undertake hierarchy mapping to evaluate exactly what underpins your existing service environment. Finally, using this data we advise on the best migration strategies and approaches and define the major milestones that will be captured as part of any migration event.
-
3. Design and Build
We develop a detailed migration strategy, together with timeline, for the transformation of all applications and services. We create repeatable application build and migration factory processes, along with defined forward path recommendations.
-
4. Execution
We handle all programme and technical governance, as well as on-going data repository management, utilising our vClarus toolset to ensure your migration execution is sequenced correctly. Alongside addressing issues like service availability and security, we deploy data migration tools to minimise disruption and assure data integrity. Plus, we undertake constant monitoring and testing throughout the execution process to ensure problems are instantly addressed – and deadlines met.
Bell Integration has significant experience in this arena, having migrated tens of thousands of workloads successfully, on time and on budget.

Data centre migration, whether for a full location move, or as part of a cloud or hybrid transformation, is a complex process and can easily see you exceed your budget. Working with the experienced team at Bell Integration reduces risk and can allow you to work with a fixed cost / fixed outcome project.
