On Premise to Cloud Migration: Seamless, Automated, and Cost-Effective
On-premises to cloud migration helps organizations migrate their legacy IT environments to a public cloud provider of their choice. This transition eliminates vendor lock-ins, enhances scalability, and enables you to leverage the advanced capabilities of modern cloud platforms. Migrating to the cloud is more than just transferring workloads; it’s about transforming your IT infrastructure to be flexible, efficient, and future-ready.
How to Migrate from On Prem to Cloud?
With our VPC+ “Migration as a Service” (MaaS), migrating from on-prem to cloud becomes fully automated, predictable, and hassle-free. VPC+ MaaS automatically discovers your network appliances, subnets, virtual machines (VMs), VPNs, and databases, mapping them to optimized equivalents in the cloud. Your content, workloads, and applications are migrated securely, and dependencies are preserved, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition from on premise to cloud migration.
Fast and Predictable Costs
Wanclouds offers a Pay-as-You-Migrate model for on prem to cloud migration, which replaces large upfront consulting fees with charges based on migrated units such as servers, storage, databases, or network functions. This approach provides transparency, makes budgeting simpler, and lowers the total cost of ownership, giving you full control over your migration expenses.
Full Resource Discovery and Automated Migration
Our platform performs a comprehensive discovery of your on-prem resources—including virtual machines, databases, storage, and network appliances—and automates migration workflows to maintain all dependencies. By minimizing manual intervention, the VPC+ tool reduces errors, ensures accuracy, and makes the migration from on premise to cloud seamless and reliable.
Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Support
We enable migration from on-premises to any public cloud, as well as migration between cloud providers, all managed through a single unified console. Security groups, load balancers, firewalls, and VPCs are consistently managed across your hybrid or multi-cloud environment. This simplifies operations, reduces complexity, and ensures smooth performance across all platforms.
Infrastructure Modernization and Portability
Migration with Wanclouds goes beyond moving workloads. We modernize legacy applications by transforming monoliths into microservices or containerized architectures and ensure portability for platforms such as Kubernetes clusters or Red Hat OpenShift. This approach avoids vendor lock-in and enables your infrastructure to scale, evolve, and remain future-ready.
Faster Time-to-Value
Automated workflows, pre-built templates, and visual tools make it possible to complete migration projects that once took weeks in just a few days. Reduced downtime, accelerated deployment, and faster realization of cloud benefits help you achieve a measurable return on investment and maximize the efficiency of your IT operations.
Post-Migration Visibility and Governance
The cloud journey does not end with migration. Wanclouds provides continuous monitoring, cost management, and compliance oversight. Centralized dashboards, templates, and ongoing support help prevent cost overruns, security gaps, and operational inefficiencies. With this post-migration governance, your cloud infrastructure remains secure, optimized, and fully controlled.

Common Challenges in On Premise to Cloud Migration and How We Mitigate Them
One of the biggest challenges during migration is downtime and business disruption. Unplanned outages can lead to loss of service and dissatisfied users. To minimize this risk, we carefully plan migration windows, run pilot migrations, replicate workloads, and implement failover and rollback strategies to ensure business continuity throughout the process.
Downtime & Business Disruption
Downtime & Business Disruption poses a significant risk of service loss and user dissatisfaction. We mitigate this by meticulously planning migration during off-peak windows, conducting a pilot program with a non-critical application, ensuring full data replication prior to cutover, and maintaining robust failover and rollback plans to ensure a swift recovery if needed.
Data Security & Compliance
The challenge of Data Security & Compliance involves the potential for breaches and regulatory violations. Our mitigation strategy employs a defense-in-depth approach, utilizing encryption for all data both in transit and at rest, enforcing strict Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls, performing regular audits, and adhering to established compliance frameworks.
Vendor Lock-In
Vendor Lock-In presents a long-term strategic risk by making it difficult to switch providers. We counter this by designing systems for portability from the outset, prioritizing open standards and APIs, leveraging containerization technologies like Kubernetes, and ensuring architecture is multi-cloud ready to maintain flexibility.
Estimating Costs & Budget Overruns
Estimating Costs & Budget Overruns can lead to unexpected expenses and wasted resources. Our mitigation focuses on financial transparency and optimization through a pay-as-you-migrate model, rightsizing resources to precise requirements, and implementing ongoing cost monitoring and alerting to maintain control over the cloud budget.
