Get rid of your on-prem servers

Just as virtualization liberates your software (operating systems or applications) from the hardware that runs it, your business no longer needs to maintain on-prem servers.

Stop wasting time and money on physical infrastructure along with maintenance, warranties, and replacement, and make the move to Azure Cloud.

With Azure Virtual Desktop:

  • Access your data and work platforms from anywhere
  • Cut costs on hardware and maintenance
  • Simplify user maintenance, onboarding, and offboarding
  • and more!

When to switch to Azure

Generally, companies switch to Azure for a few reasons:

 

  • Avoid the capital expense of replacing End-of-Life (EOL) on-premise hardware
  • Fluctuating business cycles makes flexible, monthly data storage and compute options the right choice
  • Keeping pace with rapid changes in technology makes Azure Cloud the best choice for app development environments as well as remote teams

Steps for migrating File Servers to Azure

Businesses generally outsource the migration process to avoid technical issues in a process they will encounter only once. Avoid the hassle of training employees and let Finchloom migrate your servers to Azure. Our high level migration steps are:

1. Plan and Inventory your servers to understand your data and configuration

2. Duplicate your environment to your Azure destination

3. Cut over access to the new servers. Your Azure infrastructure assumes the source servers’ former identities so your apps and users don’t have to reconfigure anything.

NOTE: we never remove files from your source servers so cut-over is optional. Your source servers can be maintained, archived, or decommissioned at your convenience.
