Hidden legacy dependencies
Applications depend on servers, jobs, shares, identity, network routes, vendors, and manual tasks that are not documented.
Cloud Migration Services
Cloud Migration Services for Reliable Modernization
Torch Solutions plans and executes application, server, and database migrations with readiness assessment, security, rollback, minimal downtime, and optimization.
What Is This Service?
Move applications to the cloud without moving old risk unchanged
Cloud migration moves applications, data, servers, files, integrations, and operating processes from existing infrastructure to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or a new cloud architecture. Migration may rehost, replatform, refactor, replace, retain, or retire components according to business value and technical constraints.
Organizations migrate to improve release speed, resilience, security, scalability, global access, cost visibility, and managed service use. A move can fail when dependencies are incomplete, downtime is underestimated, cloud services are chosen too early, or teams reproduce a fragile legacy architecture with a larger monthly bill.
Torch Solutions performs cloud-readiness assessment, dependency mapping, target design, Infrastructure as Code, containerization, database and file migration, CI/CD, security review, monitoring, cutover, rollback planning, and post-migration optimization. We phase work around operational risk and measurable outcomes.
Migration planning includes more than production servers. DNS, certificates, identity, scheduled jobs, reports, email, webhooks, third-party allowlists, support tools, developer environments, backups, archives, analytics, and undocumented file paths can all affect cutover. We create a dependency and data inventory, identify owners, define acceptance, and rehearse high-risk steps. The target architecture is costed and tested before production traffic moves. This gives leaders a clearer view of downtime, engineering effort, parallel operating cost, vendor constraints, and the improvements that should be completed during migration rather than postponed.
After cutover, the migration is not complete until the new environment has stable ownership. We compare application behavior, database performance, background processing, error rates, cloud spending, backup results, and support load against the agreed baseline. Old servers, credentials, routes, storage, and vendor access are retired through a controlled checklist. Remaining modernization work is separated from urgent stabilization so teams can improve the platform without turning the first weeks of cloud operation into an open-ended incident.
Business Challenges
Migration risks that require careful technical and business planning
Database migration risk
Large or actively changing databases require compatibility, validation, synchronization, cutover, and rollback planning.
Downtime constraints
Customer and internal systems may require minimal interruption even while applications, data, DNS, and integrations move.
Cloud security gaps
Rushed migrations introduce broad access, exposed services, unmanaged secrets, weak logging, and incomplete recovery.
Cost surprises
Parallel environments, data transfer, managed tiers, logs, backups, and oversized resources increase spend.
No post-migration operating model
Teams reach the cloud without CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, monitoring, ownership, or support procedures.
Our Solution
A controlled path from readiness assessment through optimization
Readiness and portfolio assessment
We inventory applications, servers, data, integrations, users, owners, risk, cost, support, and business criticality.
Migration strategy and target architecture
Each component receives a justified path—rehost, replatform, refactor, replace, retain, or retire—with cloud, security, recovery, and cost design.
Migration engineering and rehearsal
Terraform, containers, pipelines, data tools, tests, backups, synchronization, cutover steps, validation, and rollback are implemented and rehearsed.
Cutover and optimization
Traffic moves through controlled stages with monitoring and support, followed by right-sizing, reliability, security, documentation, and legacy decommissioning.

Business Benefits
Business value designed into the system
Modernize delivery
Infrastructure automation, CI/CD, containers, and managed services reduce manual release and environment work.
Improve reliability
Health checks, redundancy, backups, recovery, monitoring, and tested failure handling support continuity.
Scale more predictably
Cloud compute, queues, caching, databases, and storage can align capacity with workload demand.
Strengthen security visibility
Central identity, network controls, encryption, logging, patching, and reviewed infrastructure improve oversight.
Make cost accountable
Tagging, budgets, workload ownership, utilization, lifecycle, and architecture decisions expose cost drivers.
Our Cloud Migration Process
A controlled path from assessment through optimization
Cloud assessment
Inventory applications, infrastructure, databases, files, integrations, traffic, cost, owners, and incidents.
Architecture planning
Define migration strategy, cloud, services, network, identity, availability, recovery, environments, and waves.
Infrastructure setup
Build target accounts, networking, IAM, secrets, compute, containers, storage, data, domains, and monitoring with Terraform.
CI/CD implementation
Automate tests, artifacts, infrastructure, deployment, migrations, verification, approvals, and rollback.
Security configuration
Harden access, network, encryption, logging, secrets, dependencies, backups, and vulnerability handling.
Migration rehearsal
Practice application, data, file, DNS, integration, validation, timing, communication, and rollback procedures.
Production cutover
Synchronize final data, shift traffic, monitor health, validate users and integrations, and preserve recovery options.
Performance optimization
Tune compute, databases, caching, queues, storage, transfer, scaling, logs, and application bottlenecks.
Documentation
Record architecture, access, release, recovery, vendors, alerts, support, data, and decommissioning.
Ongoing maintenance
Review reliability, security, cloud updates, capacity, cost, incidents, and modernization opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about cloud migration
What are cloud migration services?
They assess, plan, move, validate, secure, and optimize applications, servers, databases, files, integrations, delivery processes, monitoring, backup, and operations in cloud infrastructure.
How long does cloud migration take?
A focused application may take weeks to months; portfolios and complex data take longer. Dependencies, downtime, refactoring, testing, security, and organizational coordination determine schedule.
How much does cloud migration cost?
Cost depends on applications, servers, data, integrations, downtime, target architecture, refactoring, automation, parallel environments, testing, and support.
Can migration have zero downtime?
Some systems can approach zero downtime through replication and staged traffic. Others require a controlled maintenance window. We define realistic objectives and rollback.
Can you migrate databases?
Yes. We assess compatibility, volume, change rate, extensions, performance, replication, validation, backup, cutover, security, and rollback.
Should we rehost or refactor?
Rehosting is faster but preserves more legacy constraints. Refactoring can improve operations but costs more. We choose per component and business priority.
Can you migrate to AWS or Azure?
Yes. We design AWS, Azure, or appropriate Google Cloud targets according to workload, team, customers, integrations, compliance, cost, and strategy.
What happens after migration?
We optimize performance and cost, confirm backup and recovery, improve monitoring, document operations, close security gaps, and safely decommission legacy infrastructure.
Do you provide rollback planning?
Yes. We define checkpoints, data implications, traffic reversal, backups, validation, decision authority, communication, and the time after which rollback is no longer safe.
