Why Summit?

Your IT team doesn’t perform dozens of migrations a year. But we do.

We’ve performed hundreds of migrations over the past few decades. Each one taught us something new. When the unexpected comes up (and it will), we’ll handle it without skipping a beat.

Our expert team can move you from the cloud to the data center, the data center to the cloud, and any iteration in between. No migration is too complex — we’ve successfully performed migrations after mergers and acquisitions, across continents, and with zero downtime.

No detail is too small. When the stakes are high, call Summit.

Our migration specialists are old pros. Every aspect of the move is planned down to the smallest detail, such as:

  • Measuring every door/hall/elevator opening width
  • Labeling every single device on the front and back (some servers have nifty LCD screens, but those screens are off during a migration)
  • A whole lot more

Here’s how our data center migrations work in 7 proven steps.

In helping hundreds of companies migrate everything from single applications to full data centers, we’ve developed a thorough migration process.

1. Discovery

Define project objectives, success criteria, infrastructure assessment, budget, and strategy.

2. Planning

Design and review infrastructure, make revisions, and finalize.

3. Development

Build and review infrastructure specs, finalize support processes, and sign off.

4. Validation

Validate network, security, compliance, compute, and storage.

5. Migration

Create and test migration plans for applications and data.

6. Management

Ensure smooth post-migration transition with 24/7 support and proactive monitoring.

7. Scale

Develop an annual plan, conduct quarterly reviews, and address ad-hoc requirements.
