Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Which cloud provider is best: AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. AWS offers the most services, Google Cloud often leads in data analytics and AI, and Azure integrates seamlessly with existing Microsoft enterprise environments. We evaluate your specific needs and recommend the provider that offers the best performance and ROI for your architecture.
2. How much downtime will there be during migration?
Our goal is always zero-downtime migration. We achieve this by running your new cloud environment in parallel with your legacy system, testing thoroughly, and then performing a seamless DNS cutover, usually during off-peak hours to ensure zero disruption to your users.
3. Are cloud servers more secure than on-premise servers?
Yes, when configured correctly. Cloud providers invest billions in physical and network security. However, security is a shared responsibility. We ensure your cloud architecture is configured with strict firewalls, IAM roles, encryption, and DDoS protection so your data remains completely secure.
4. Will my data stay in Canada?
Yes, if required. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud all have Canadian regions (including Calgary for AWS). We can configure your infrastructure to ensure all data residency and compliance requirements (like PIPEDA) are strictly met.
5. How much does cloud hosting cost?
Cloud costs are highly variable based on usage (compute, storage, bandwidth). A simple web app might cost $50-$200/month, while complex enterprise architectures can scale to thousands. We specialize in FinOps—optimizing your architecture to ensure you never pay for resources you aren’t using.
6. Do we need an in-house DevOps engineer?
No. We offer managed cloud services and 1-year free maintenance with our migrations. We monitor your infrastructure 24/7, handle security patching, and manage scaling so your team can focus on the product, not the servers.
7. What if my application wasn’t built for the cloud?
Many legacy applications require “refactoring” before migrating. We don’t just “lift and shift”; we can modernize your application code to take full advantage of cloud-native features like auto-scaling, serverless computing, and managed databases.
8. How long does a cloud migration take?
A straightforward migration of a modern web app might take 2-4 weeks. Migrating complex, monolithic legacy systems with large databases can take 3-6 months of careful planning and phased execution.
