Cloud Migration & Modernization

Reduce migration risk and stay in control of cost, performance, and licensing. Our specialists inventory your workloads, design the right landing zones, and execute the move with tested runbooks and validation, so you can modernize with minimal disruption.

Talk to an Expert

Move with confidence. Modernize without surprises.

Cloud migration should reduce risk and cost, not introduce both. The wrong instance type, a missed dependency, or an overlooked license rule can lead to outages and budget creep. House of Brick builds a migration plan that fits your workloads and your contracts, then delivers the move with clear checkpoints and success criteria.

Cloud Migration Services Include:

Readiness and planning

Inventory workloads, map dependencies, and size targets for AWS, Azure, OCI, or Google Cloud.

License-aware design

Align architecture with Oracle and SQL Server terms to avoid surprise fees.

Migration execution

Data movement, cutover, and validation with rollback plans and runbooks.

Modernization paths

Rehost, replatform, or refactor where it pays off, with cost and risk trade-offs documented.

Post-migration stabilization

Performance tuning, cost checks, access and network hardening.

Typical Projects

Nutanix migrations

License-smart moves to Nutanix AHV (or VMware on Nutanix) with cluster sizing, storage layout, and DR planning, plus cutover runbooks and validation.

OCI migrations

Design tenancies and VCNs, choose the right database service (Exadata, Base Database, or compute VMs), align with Oracle licensing, and execute data movement with rollback plans.

AWS migrations

Build landing zones (IAM, VPC, guardrails), select RDS vs. EC2 for Oracle/SQL Server/PostgreSQL, and run cutovers with tested runbooks and post-migration tuning.

Azure migrations

Set up subscriptions and VNets with policy guardrails, choose SQL Managed Instance vs. Azure VMs, integrate Entra ID, and deliver a validated, low-downtime cutover.

“House of Brick has been an ERB respected and trusted partner for the past 4 years. Their expertise with our environment prior to helping migrate to the AWS cloud was invaluable.

Our Pension Administrations System enterprise software runs on Oracle. HoB recently helped us migrate to RDS Oracle on AWS. This allows us to focus on our day-to-day IT operations while moving all database licensing and management to AWS. HoB was key in helping us understand the opportunity and mitigate risks in our move to cloud.”
