Cloud and servers

# Cloud and servers for companies, under management

We assess what moves to the cloud and what stays local, migrate with planned windows and operate the whole — with costs reviewed before they become a surprise.

When we're called in

## Signs it's time to revisit your support coverage

These scenarios help us demonstrate the SLA, governance, and user experience gains we deliver.

Recurring issue

### Aging server, postponed decision

The hardware gets older, the warranty expired, and nobody knows whether to renew, virtualize or migrate.

  Recurring issue

### Cloud contracted, invoice growing

Oversized resources and forgotten services left running push the monthly cost up without delivering more.

  Recurring issue

### Migration done in a rush

Changes without windows, rollback plans or validation take systems down in the middle of business hours.

Turning strategy into outcomes

## What changes in the first quarter

Governance, metrics, and processes designed so your operation doesn't fall back.

ASSIST delivery

### Case-by-case decisions, not fashion

We evaluate each workload — what gains in the cloud, what performs better locally, what stays hybrid.

  ASSIST delivery

### Migration with windows and a way back

Agreed schedule, validation before cutover and a defined rollback for every stage.

  ASSIST delivery

### Operations and cost under one gaze

The NOC monitors availability and performance, and sizing is reviewed periodically.

Execution

## Deliverables that leave the slide deck

Documentation, spares, integrations, and governance delivered with the project.

### Core deliverables

- 01

Workload assessment

Inventory of servers, systems and dependencies with a recommendation per workload — cloud, local or hybrid.

- 02

Planned migration

Staged execution with agreed windows, validation tests and acceptance criteria per system.

- 03

Continuous environment management

Updates, access and performance administered by the NOC, integrated with 24×7 monitoring.

- 04

Periodic sizing review

Consumption and cost tracking with adjustments recommended before each renewal cycle.

### ASSIST differentiators

- Hybrid without dogma

We neither push everything to the cloud nor defend servers out of nostalgia — the workload defines the destination.

- The team that migrates is the team that operates

The people who plan the migration are the same who monitor and sustain the environment after cutover.

- Cost treated as part of the service

Sizing reviewed periodically, with adjustment recommendations presented to leadership.

Stages

## Assessment, project, rollout, and continuous support

Every phase is documented, audited, and connected to ASSIST monitoring.

- 1

#### Assessment

We map workloads, dependencies, licenses and current costs, and define each system's destination.

- 2

#### Migration

Staged execution with windows, validation and a rollback plan — no blind cutover.

- 3

#### Continuous operation

Monitoring, updates and periodic reviews of environment performance and cost.

### The right question is not "cloud or server"

It is "which workload performs best where". An academic system with enrollment peaks, a hotel PMS that cannot stop, a heavy database with hardware-bound licensing — each has a different destination. The initial assessment maps systems, dependencies and costs and returns a per-workload recommendation, with the numbers in front of each scenario.

### Migration is a project, cutover is a detail

Migration risk is not in the technology, it is in the rush. Every stage gets an agreed window, validation before cutover and a rollback plan. The old environment is only turned off when the new one proves it sustains the operation.

### After migration, management continues

A migrated environment without operations is the same problem at a new address. Continuous management integrates [24×7 monitoring](<https://assist.com.br/en/services/24x7-monitoring>), [managed backup with remote replication](<https://assist.com.br/en/services/managed-backup>) and [managed security](<https://assist.com.br/en/services/managed-security>) — and when the doubt comes before the migration, [IT consulting](<https://assist.com.br/en/services/it-consulting>) builds the assessment and roadmap.

FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

Does everything need to move to the cloud?+

No. Some workloads perform better locally — for cost, latency or physical dependency. The initial assessment defines each system's destination, and hybrid is a common outcome.

Who operates the environment after migration?+

Our team. The NOC monitors availability and performance, administers updates and access and handles incidents — the same team that planned the migration. [Learn about Zabbix + Grafana monitoring](<https://assist.com.br/en/services/24x7-monitoring>)

How do you keep cloud costs from growing out of control?+

With periodic sizing reviews - consumption and invoices are tracked, and oversized or forgotten resources are adjusted before renewal.

Will my current servers be reused?+

When they make sense, yes. The assessment considers age, warranty and capacity of what exists before recommending any new investment.
