Why Choose MicrocosmWorks for Azure Migration?
Cloud migration is a high-stakes undertaking where failures are expensive and visible. MicrocosmWorks has migrated hundreds of workloads to Azure using battle-tested methodologies that minimize risk, reduce downtime windows to minutes, and ensure every application performs as well or better than it did on-premises.
Our Azure Migration Capabilities
- Server & VM Migration — Lift-and-shift physical and virtual servers to Azure VMs using Azure Migrate with minimal downtime cutover.
- Database Migration — Migrate SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases to Azure managed services with near-zero downtime.
- Application Modernization — Containerize and refactor applications for AKS, App Service, or Azure Functions during migration.
- Data Migration — Move petabytes of data using Azure Data Box, AzCopy, or online replication to Azure Storage and data lakes.
- SAP on Azure — Migrate SAP workloads to Azure-certified infrastructure with High Availability and Disaster Recovery configurations.
- Hybrid Connectivity — Establish ExpressRoute or VPN connectivity for phased migrations with coexistence periods.
Azure-Specific Technology Stack
We use Azure Migrate for discovery and assessment, Azure Database Migration Service for online database migrations, Azure Site Recovery for server replication, and Azure Data Box for offline bulk data transfers—combined with custom automation scripts for complex migration scenarios.
Who This Is For
This service suits organizations with datacenter lease expirations, companies needing to migrate from other clouds to Azure, and enterprises modernizing legacy applications as part of a cloud-first strategy with tight timelines and zero tolerance for data loss.
Our Process
Discovery
Inventory all workloads, map dependencies, assess migration complexity, and estimate Azure resource requirements.
Architecture
Design target Azure architecture, plan migration waves, define rollback procedures, and establish success criteria.
Implementation
Execute phased migration with replication, testing, and cutover for each wave with documented validation checkpoints.
Optimization
Right-size migrated resources, implement cost management, and tune performance for Azure-native operation.
Operations

Frequently Asked Questions
MicrocosmWorks offers rehost (lift-and-shift to Azure VMs), re-platform (move to Azure PaaS like App Service), refactor (containerize for AKS), and rearchitect (redesign as cloud-native) migration approaches, chosen based on each application's complexity and business value.
Azure migration consulting is available at $20-$45/hour, with projects ranging from simple VM migrations in 1-2 weeks to complex application modernization and database migration projects spanning 2-6 months.
Yes, we use Azure Migrate for server discovery, dependency mapping, and Azure readiness assessments, combined with manual architecture review to create accurate migration plans with cost projections and timeline estimates.
Absolutely. We migrate SQL Server databases using Azure Database Migration Service with minimal downtime, handle schema compatibility issues, optimize performance for Azure SQL or Managed Instance, and validate data integrity before cutover.
We use Azure Database Migration Service for continuous replication, Azure Traffic Manager for gradual traffic shifting, pre-migration testing in parallel environments, and rollback procedures to ensure applications remain available throughout the migration.
