Data Center Migration
Move from on-premises infrastructure to cloud, private cloud, or hybrid architecture with dependency mapping, phased execution, rollback planning, and production-safe cutover.
Map
Dependency clarity
Applications, data, network flows, identity, DNS, integrations, and owners are documented before migration.
Wave
Phased execution
Migration waves reduce blast radius and give each application a defined validation and rollback path.
Run
Post-migration operations
Monitoring, cost, security, backup, and runbooks are validated before old infrastructure is retired.
Assessment and migration planning
Nanosek inventories infrastructure, applications, dependencies, data flows, DNS, certificates, compliance requirements, and operational ownership to build a practical migration plan.
Target architecture and Cloudflare front door
We define cloud landing zones, network connectivity, Cloudflare DNS/CDN/WAF/DDoS controls, identity, logging, backup, and disaster recovery.
Controlled migration execution
Migration waves include testing, replication, traffic shifting, runbooks, cutover windows, rollback steps, and communications with application owners.
Optimization and decommissioning
After migration, Nanosek validates performance, cost, security posture, monitoring, backups, and decommission readiness for legacy systems.
Delivery model
How Nanosek takes the work from design to operations
The goal is not a one-time implementation. Nanosek defines the architecture, proves the migration path, controls production change, and leaves the operating model ready for support.
Discover dependencies
Map servers, applications, databases, DNS, certificates, traffic, identities, jobs, vendors, and support ownership.
Design migration waves
Group workloads by risk, dependency, business criticality, technical approach, and rollback requirements.
Execute cutover
Use replication, blue-green patterns, DNS steering, Cloudflare traffic controls, and validation checklists.
Stabilize operations
Confirm monitoring, backup, cost, performance, security controls, runbooks, and decommission steps.

|---|---|---|
| Discovery | CMDB review, dependency mapping, traffic flows, DNS, certificates, databases | Infrastructure, application owners, PMO |
| Architecture | Landing zones, connectivity, Cloudflare edge, identity, logging, backup, DR | Architecture, cloud, security |
| Execution | Wave planning, replication, test plans, cutover, rollback, stakeholder comms | Migration team, operations, app owners |
| Stabilization | Performance, cost, monitoring, incident readiness, decommissioning | Operations, finance, leadership |
FAQ
Questions enterprise teams ask before starting
Can migration be done without downtime?
Some workloads can be moved with near-zero downtime using replication, blue-green patterns, and traffic steering. Others require maintenance windows. Nanosek defines this per workload.
What is the role of Cloudflare in data center migration?
Cloudflare can support DNS cutover, CDN, WAF, DDoS, traffic steering, Zero Trust access, and observability during and after migration.
Do you include rollback planning?
Yes. Production migration plans should include rollback criteria, rollback steps, owners, time limits, and communications before the cutover begins.
