3. Build & Migrate

Automate deployment of migration services. Execute workloads with minimal disruption, using live dashboards and testing suites.

4. Optimise & Hand-Off

Validate performance, apply rightsizing, optimize cost, and hand over operations with training and governance policies.

FAQs: Cloud Migration Accelerator

The Cloud Migration Accelerator is a structured, AWS-aligned framework developed by NorthBay Solutions to help enterprises migrate workloads, applications, and databases to AWS faster and with lower risk. It combines automated tools, proven methodologies, and AWS best practices to deliver a secure, cost-optimized, and future-ready cloud environment.

Traditional migration projects are often slow, manual, and prone to disruption. The Cloud Migration Accelerator introduces automation, predefined templates, and industry-validated processes—reducing effort, time, and complexity. It also includes post-migration optimization and enablement, ensuring your teams can manage cloud operations independently.

NorthBay’s accelerator supports VMware environments, on-premises infrastructure, legacy data centers, and multi-cloud workloads. It’s ideal for applications running on Windows, Linux, Oracle, or SQL Server, as well as custom business systems and modern SaaS platforms.

Yes. As an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, NorthBay Solutions works closely with AWS to identify funding opportunities such as the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP). Eligible customers can receive AWS credits or financial assistance to offset migration costs.

Timelines vary depending on complexity, but most projects range from 8 to 16 weeks for planning, migration, validation, and hand-off. The accelerator’s modular design allows phased migrations—so you can see results early while scaling progressively.

Security and governance are embedded throughout the migration process. NorthBay implements AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices, encryption standards, identity management, logging, and compliance monitoring. Each phase is validated against your organization’s security and compliance requirements.

Our accelerator uses automated replication, pre-migration validation, and staged cut-overs to minimize or eliminate downtime. Business-critical workloads are migrated with near-zero downtime and robust rollback mechanisms.

After migration, NorthBay’s team performs performance optimization, rightsizing, and FinOps reviews to reduce costs and enhance performance. You also receive a detailed hand-off package, training sessions, and ongoing support options for continuous modernization.

Absolutely. NorthBay’s migration framework supports hybrid and multi-cloud topologies, integrating AWS with existing on-premises or other-cloud environments. Our experts design secure network connectivity, consistent monitoring, and governance across all platforms.

You can begin by scheduling a Cloud Migration Readiness Assessment with our AWS specialists. NorthBay Solutions will evaluate your current infrastructure, estimate costs, identify funding options, and create a tailored migration roadmap.
