SolutionsCross Platform Migration

From Legacy to Modern. Without the Chaos

From Legacy to Modern. Without the Chaos

Migration projects fail when they’re treated as a simple lift-and-shift. Every platform has its own assumptions about storage, networking, authentication, and application dependencies. We’ve migrated organisations between virtualisation platforms, operating systems, databases, telephony systems, and cloud providers. We know where the hidden problems are because we’ve hit them before.

In today’s fast-evolving IT landscape, businesses need reliable solutions to move their data across platforms. Data migration is essential for organizations seeking to harness cloud computing while ensuring smooth transitions between different systems. At IP Technics, we specialize in cross-platform migration services that make the transition between cloud computers and diverse environments, such as Windows to Linux or vice versa, secure and efficient.

Migration Paths We Handle

VMware to Proxmox

VMware to Proxmox

Our most common migration. Typical 60–80% savings on licensing alone. We convert VMDKs, rebuild networking, configure Ceph or NFS storage, set up HA clustering, and train your team on the new platform.

Cisco Call Manager to Difuse/Asterisk

Cisco Call Manager to Difuse/Asterisk

Legacy CUCM environments replaced with open-source telephony. Call flows, number plans, and user experience preserved.

Microsoft SQL Server to PostgreSQL

Microsoft SQL Server to PostgreSQL

Schema conversion, stored procedure migration, application connection string updates, and performance validation.

On-Prem Email to Cloud

On-Prem Email to Cloud

Migration from on-premise mail servers (Exchange, Zimbra, Postfix) to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Zimbra hosted on OVH. Mailboxes, calendars, contacts, and shared folders migrated with minimal disruption to end users.

Public Cloud to Private Cloud

Public Cloud to Private Cloud

AWS or Azure workloads moved to OVH, Hetzner, or on-premise infrastructure for cost control and data sovereignty.

Legacy PBX to IP Telephony

Legacy PBX to IP Telephony

Nortel, Avaya, Panasonic, and older Cisco systems replaced with Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, or Difuse.

Our Migration Approach

Assessment

Assessment

Full mapping of your current environment. Dependencies, configurations, data volumes, and integration points documented before any changes are made.

Custom Migration Plan

Custom Migration Plan

Every migration is designed around your specific goals. Whether you’re optimising costs, improving performance, or meeting compliance requirements, the plan reflects your priorities.

Workload Classification

Workload Classification

Not every workload migrates the same way. We assess each workload and choose the right strategy: re-host (lift and shift) for minimal disruption, re-platform (lift, tweak, and shift) for performance gains, or refactor (rebuild) for full optimisation on the target platform.

Parallel Testing

Parallel Testing

Both environments run side by side. We validate functionality, performance, and integration before cutover.

Cutover & Validation

Cutover & Validation

Planned cutover windows with rollback procedures. Post-migration testing to confirm everything works as expected.

Post-Migration Support

Post-Migration Support

Ongoing optimisation, monitoring, and support after migration. We don’t disappear once the cutover is done.

Choosing the Right Cloud Provider

When migration involves moving to cloud, we help you choose the right provider based on your workload, budget, and compliance needs. We work across Google Cloud, OVH, Hetzner, and Azure, and we’ll recommend the platform that genuinely fits rather than the one with the biggest partner incentive.

Exit the "Licensing Trap" with Zero Disruption.

Transitioning from VMware to Proxmox or Cisco CUCM to Open-Source Telephony isn't just a technical move it's a massive financial win. We handle the VMDK conversions, schema migrations, and team training so you can focus on the savings.
