Service scope

What Is Included in Strategic Cloud Migration?

Strategic Cloud Migration is a comprehensive, end‑to‑end service tailored to organisations that need both technical excellence and strong governance. From initial assessment to post‑migration optimisation, every activity is designed to reduce risk and maximise long‑term value.

Core components of the service

Full technical and functional audit of existing web platforms, infrastructure, and integrations.
Cloud readiness assessment, including performance, security, and compliance gaps.
Design of target cloud‑native architecture on AWS, Azure or GCP.
Definition of migration strategy: re‑host, re‑platform, or modernise where appropriate.
Set‑up of secure cloud landing zone (accounts, IAM, networking, encryption, backups).
Implementation of CI/CD pipelines adapted to your governance and release practices.
Data migration and synchronisation strategy (databases, files, logs, analytics).
Execution of migration waves with rehearsals for mission‑critical systems.

Optional add‑ons for Dubai‑based organisations

Advanced security review aligned with your sector’s regulatory requirements.
High‑availability and disaster recovery design across multiple regions.
Modernisation of legacy components into microservices or container‑based workloads.
Modernisation of legacy components into microservices or container‑based workloads.
24/7 monitoring and incident response for critical platforms.
Staff augmentation with senior cloud engineers embedded in your team.
Every engagement is tailored to your context: sector, internal capabilities, governance, and growth plans in the UAE and GCC. We only commit to a scope once it is clear, realistic, and aligned with your business priorities – this is how we protect both your project and your organisation.

Designed for Decision‑Makers Who Need Certainty

Aligned with strategic business goals
We translate your digital and cloud strategy into concrete technical decisions: architecture choices, migration sequencing, and service selection are all driven by your business objectives, not by technology trends alone.
Predictable timelines and controlled budgets
Our fixed‑price, project‑based model gives CTOs, CIOs, and transformation leaders the visibility they need. You gain a realistic roadmap, clear milestones, and a partner that is accountable for delivering on time and to specification.
Security and reliability as non‑negotiables
From identity and access management to backup, disaster recovery, and observability, we treat security and reliability as core design principles – essential for organisations operating in highly competitive and regulated environments in Dubai.
Built to empower your internal teams
We document, train, and structure your new cloud environment so your internal teams can operate and evolve it with confidence. When required, our senior engineers can stay embedded as an expert extension of your organisation.

How we work

A Structured, Fixed‑Price Approach to Cloud Migration

Every migration we deliver in Dubai follows a rigorous, project‑first methodology. We refuse vague scopes and undefined responsibilities. Instead, we design a clear roadmap, validate assumptions early, and commit to a fixed‑price delivery so you know exactly what will be delivered, when, and under which conditions.

We start with a detailed technical and functional audit of your current environment: applications, data flows, integrations, security posture, and performance bottlenecks. We identify migration risks, dependencies, and compliance requirements specific to your industry and the UAE market.
Based on the audit, we design a cloud‑native target architecture on AWS, Azure or GCP. We define which components will be re‑hosted, re‑platformed, or modernised, and we select the right services (compute, storage, networking, security, observability) to balance performance, reliability, and cost.
We translate the strategy into a concrete, fixed‑price scope: milestones, responsibilities, success criteria, and migration windows. You get a clear, signed‑off plan that protects you from scope creep and vague deliverables.
We set up and secure your cloud landing zone: accounts, IAM, network segmentation, encryption, backup and disaster recovery policies, and monitoring. Our standards align with global best practices while respecting local governance constraints.
We orchestrate the migration with minimal disruption to your operations. This includes application deployment, data migration, synchronisation, blue‑green or canary releases, and progressive traffic switching. We plan and run rehearsals where needed for mission‑critical systems.
Post‑migration, we stabilise the platform, tune performance, and optimise cloud costs. We put in place observability, incident management procedures, and documentation. Depending on your needs, Stralya can stay as a long‑term partner under a tailored SLA.

Find Commonly Asked Questions

This service is built for startups, scale‑ups, SMEs, large enterprises, and governmental or semi‑governmental entities that run business‑critical web platforms and need to move them to the cloud with minimal risk. Typical clients face delays with previous vendors, lack internal senior cloud expertise, or want a partner that takes full responsibility for the project outcome.
We design and deliver migrations to all major hyperscalers: AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Our focus is on cloud‑native architectures: containers, managed databases, serverless components, and modern CI/CD pipelines that match your operational and compliance needs in the UAE.
Yes. Project rescue is one of Stralya’s core strengths. We start with a rapid assessment of the current state, identify blocking points, security or reliability risks, and then propose a stabilisation and completion plan. We will only commit if we are confident we can bring the project safely across the finish line.
Our preferred model is fixed‑price, based on a rigorous scoping phase. After a structured discovery and architecture definition, we provide a detailed proposal with clear deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities. This protects you from open‑ended time‑and‑materials engagements and aligns us on results, not hours sold.
Where possible, we design migrations to minimise or avoid downtime using blue‑green deployments, database replication, and controlled traffic switching. For systems that cannot be migrated without a short interruption, we plan precise maintenance windows and communication plans with your teams to avoid business disruption.
Yes. Stralya offers long‑term maintenance and evolution under a tailored SLA. We can monitor your platform, handle incidents, manage capacity and performance, and deliver continuous improvements so your cloud environment remains secure, efficient, and aligned with your business roadmap.
