Move to Google Cloud with a clear strategy, controlled migration and a foundation built for growth. NCS London helps you assess workloads, modernise applications and optimise infrastructure for performance, security and operational efficiency.
Overview
Moving to Google Cloud involves more than transferring workloads. It requires an understanding of your applications, data, integrations, security requirements and business priorities.
NCS London helps you assess your existing environment, identify the right migration approach and plan the transition around your operational needs.
Whether you are moving from on-premises infrastructure, modernising legacy applications or reviewing an existing cloud environment, we help you make informed decisions at every stage.
Why GCP Migration
Google Cloud gives organisations a flexible foundation for modern applications, data-driven operations and changing business demands. A well-planned migration can help you simplify infrastructure, improve scalability and prepare for future innovation.
The benefits you realise depend on your workloads, architecture, migration approach and ongoing cloud management.
What We Offer
Our GCP migration services span strategy, engineering, modernisation, cost control and ongoing optimisation, aligned with your technical environment and business priorities.
Build the right migration strategy before moving workloads. Assess your existing infrastructure, application dependencies and business requirements to develop a migration roadmap, prioritise workloads and define the target architecture.
Transition applications and data with a structured plan. Plan and execute workload migrations, coordinate dependencies and validate application functionality to support a controlled transition to Google Cloud.
Prepare applications for changing business needs. Evaluate legacy applications and identify opportunities to modernise architecture, improve maintainability and adopt suitable cloud-native capabilities.
Build a scalable and reliable cloud foundation. Design and configure suitable compute, storage, networking and hybrid cloud infrastructure to support application performance and operational requirements.
Make informed decisions about cloud spending. Review resource utilisation, workload sizing and infrastructure configurations to identify potential cost savings without compromising essential performance or reliability requirements.
Build security into your cloud environment. Address identity and access management, security policies, monitoring and governance requirements across your Google Cloud environment.
Our Process
A structured approach to moving workloads to Google Cloud while keeping business requirements, dependencies and operational continuity in focus.
Assess Your Current Environment
Review your infrastructure, applications, data, dependencies and business requirements to establish migration readiness.
Define the Migration Strategy
Select appropriate migration approaches, prioritise workloads and define the target architecture, security requirements and delivery roadmap.
Plan & Prepare Workloads
Address dependencies, prepare the target environment and plan migration sequencing, testing and cutover activities.
Migrate & Validate
Transition workloads according to the agreed plan and validate application functionality, data integrity, connectivity and performance.
Optimise & Stabilise
Review the migrated environment, address identified issues and assess opportunities to improve resource utilisation, security and performance.
Deliverables
Every migration starts with a clear understanding of your existing environment and ends with a validated cloud setup aligned with the agreed scope. Deliverables vary according to workload complexity and project requirements.
Why NCS London
A successful cloud migration requires more than technical execution. It calls for careful planning, an understanding of existing systems and a clear approach to managing change.
Migration priorities aligned with your operational requirements, business goals and technical constraints.
A defined process covering assessment, planning, migration, validation and agreed post-migration activities.
Architecture and migration decisions informed by application dependencies, data requirements and performance needs.
Identity, access, security and governance requirements incorporated into migration planning and delivery.
Testing, dependencies and cutover requirements considered to help minimise disruption to business operations.
Cloud environments designed with maintainability, resource efficiency and future modernisation in mind.
Services can include migration assessments, cloud strategy, workload migration, application modernisation, infrastructure setup, security planning and post-migration optimisation, depending on the agreed project scope.
Many applications and databases can be migrated to Google Cloud. The best approach depends on compatibility, dependencies, licensing, data requirements and performance needs. An assessment helps determine the appropriate strategy.
Migration planning considers workload dependencies, sequencing, testing, backups and cutover requirements. The approach is tailored to the application and its operational requirements.
Timelines depend on the number and complexity of workloads, application dependencies, data volumes and testing requirements. An initial assessment helps establish a realistic migration plan.
Costs vary according to workload complexity, migration scope, infrastructure requirements and ongoing support needs. A review of your environment helps establish a more accurate estimate.
Yes, suitable applications can be assessed for modernisation opportunities. The approach may involve rehosting, making targeted improvements or redesigning components, depending on business priorities and technical feasibility.
Security planning can cover identity and access management, network configuration, data protection, monitoring and governance. Specific controls depend on your workloads and compliance requirements.
Post-migration services may include validation, stabilisation, optimisation and ongoing cloud management, depending on the engagement. Contact NCS London to discuss your requirements and available support arrangements.
