Do we need to migrate everything at once?

Not necessarily. The transition can be gradual, starting with a limited or priority scope before extending the environment to other uses.

Can we keep some tools already in place?

Yes, when keeping them simplifies the project or avoids an unnecessary disruption. The initial analysis distinguishes tools to keep, connect, replace or retire.

application isolation through RemoteApp access

When business is at stake, every second counts. Disaster Recovery provides a simple, affordable disaster recovery solution ready to activate for businesses that cannot afford downtime.

The approach goes beyond simple backup: instead of copying data alone for later restore, the service replicates the components of Server and Remote Desktop subscriptions to enable near-instant recovery.

FRAMING POINTS

Decisions to clarify before choosing a cloud architecture

Before deploying a hosted platform, the issue is not just selecting services. You need a decision framework: what should stay simple, what should be able to grow, what should be documented and what each party should be responsible for.

exact scope to migrate or create: applications, files, workstations, business tools and external dependencies
internal constraints: budget, deadlines, working habits, team availability and expected level of autonomy
governance rules: who decides, who approves, who administers and who receives important alerts
documents to produce so the environment remains clear after the project
evolution scenarios to plan: growth, new sites, new users or tooling changes
limits of the scope entrusted to De Shagan Network to avoid grey areas after go-live

METHOD

A step-by-step project with validation at every key milestone

The method helps avoid decisions made too quickly. Each step produces a concrete validation before moving to the next, keeping the project under control from the first meeting through to day-to-day use.

1
Assessment of the current state
Inventory of existing services, dependencies, known constraints and pain points encountered by users.
2
Target scenario
Presentation of a clear target, with choices made, exclusions and expected impacts for the organisation.
3
Transition plan
Breakdown of the move to the new environment, with order of actions, prerequisites, checkpoints and cutover window.
4
Handover
Delivery of the information needed to understand the environment, monitor its use and know who to contact in each situation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Practical questions before launching a cloud project

Is your cloud environment truly suited to your needs?

Hosting that is poorly sized, poorly secured or insufficiently monitored can become a risk to your business: slowdowns, outages, data loss, overly exposed access or dependence on an environment that is hard to evolve.

De Shagan Network helps you choose, design, secure and evolve cloud services tailored to your actual usage.
