Lift and Shift Migration
The LIFT and SHIFT approach is about migrating your application and associated data to the cloud with minimal or no changes.
Applications are effectively “lifted” from the existing environments and “shifted” to a new hosting premises, i.e. in the cloud. As such, there are often no significant changes to make in the application architecture, data flow, or authentication mechanisms. The primary considerations in a lift and shift migration are the application’s compute, storage, and network requirements that are shifted as they are.
- Further, the scope is defined and mutually agreed upon by both parties and charged as per the scope.

Offline Data Movement with customer's Owned Device
Secure DATA migration using the customer’s own storage devices for offline transfer.
- In this model, customers provide their hardware (e.g., HDDs, NAS units) for offline migration. Data is extracted, securely encrypted, and ingested into the target cloud platform.
- Customer needs to hand over the Physical Movable disks to Yotta’s representative at Yotta DC. If there is any logistics or transportation cost that needs to be borne by the customer.

Offline Data Movement with customer's Owned Device
DATA migration using storage devices provided by the service provider (e.g., Snowball, Data Box).
- The provider supplies secure storage devices for large data transfer projects. Data is loaded onto the devices at the customer’s site, shipped to the provider or cloud ingestion facility, and uploaded to cloud storage. Devices are pre-configured with encryption and chain-of-custody tracking for compliance.
- > This is charged as Device rental costs and the effort for loading and ingestion, where shipping and logistics are billed separately.
- Any loss, damage, or late return penalties for devices are to the customer’s account per contract terms.

₹ 1,500 /-TB
Online Data Movement
Direct, secured, wired network transfer from the customer’s on-premises to the cloud using high-speed connectivity.
- This model enables real-time or scheduled data migration between customer data centers to cloud storage over wired private network secured link using IPsec VPN or encryption (e.g., Direct Connect, P2P link, or IPSec VPN).
- Connectivity charges like Direct Connect or IPsec VPN, or internet bandwidth charges are charged at an additional cost.

Online Data Transfer with Data Mover
Cloud-based bulk data transfer using specialized data migration software (DataSync, Storage Gateway, rsync, etc.). Utilizes automated data mover tools to securely and efficiently transfer data online to cloud environments.
Tools handle error recovery, throttling, synchronization, and integrity checks during migration. Best suited for continuous data replication, large file transfers, and phased migrations.
- Data Mover tools, connectivity charges like Direct Connect or IPsec VPN, or internet bandwidth charges are charged at an additional cost.

Technical FAQs and Insights
What is Cloud Migration Assist?
Cloud Migration Assist is a structured service that supports all types of migrations, including on-premises to cloud, cloud-to-cloud, and legacy environment migrations. It ensures secure and efficient movement of workloads, applications, databases, and data with minimal disruption and a controlled transition.
How does Migration Assist fit within the Cloud Assure portfolio?
Migration Assist is the second pillar of Cloud Assure, focused on executing migrations securely and efficiently after assessment and planning are completed.
What migration approaches are supported?
We support rehost (lift-and-shift), re-platform, refactor, repurchase, retain, and retire strategies, aligned with business goals.
Which workloads can be migrated?
Depending on the mutually agreed scope, we can migrate applications, databases, infrastructure components, platforms, and even entire data centres.
Do you support cloud-to-cloud migrations?
Yes, we support migrations between public (Yntraa Cloud, AWS, AZURE), private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and Yntraa Cloud.
What is the difference between Lift-and-Shift and Re-platforming?
Lift-and-shift moves workloads with minimal change, while re-platforming upgrades certain components to improve performance and compliance without changing core architecture.
Can you handle database migrations across different engines?
Yes, both homogeneous (e.g., SQL to SQL) and heterogeneous (e.g., SQL Server to PostgreSQL) migrations are supported.
Does the service support both online and offline data migrations?
Offline (using customer or provider devices) and online (direct transfer or with Data Mover tools) methods are available depending on bandwidth, data size, and security needs.
Do you provide data centre migration services?
Yes, including physical (lift and shift), swing move (zero downtime), and logical (virtual/cloud-based) migrations.
What stages are followed in a migration project?
Assessment, planning, scheduling, execution (rehost/refactor), validation testing, and final cutover.
What is the customer responsible for?
Providing access, approvals, and credentials, participating in testing and validation, and ensuring backups of critical data before migration.
What is the service provider responsible for?
Strategy execution, tooling, migration execution, security baselines, validation, and knowledge transfer.
What is the Migration Factory model?
It is a scalable framework with standardized processes, governance, and automation to execute migrations at scale with minimal disruption.
Will there be downtime during migration?
Some downtime may occur during the cutover phase; however, downtime windows are planned in advance and agreed upon with business stakeholders. Where required, low-impact or near-zero downtime migration approaches can be designed and executed in collaboration with a specialized team. Techniques such as swing migrations or phased cutovers are applied where technically feasible to minimize business disruption.
How is data integrity ensured during migration?
Through encryption, replication, validation checks, and rollback mechanisms.
What risks are associated with migration?
Technical (tool incompatibility), operational (downtime), resource availability, third-party dependencies, and scope creep. Each is addressed through mitigation planning.
Does Migration Assist support compliance requirements?
Yes, migration is aligned with governance, security baselines, and compliance standards like ISO 27001, GDPR, or DPDP, if specified in the SoW.
Are tools and licenses included in the service?
No, third-party tools, OEM licenses, or cloud-native utilities are billed separately unless explicitly included in the SOW.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing is effort-based and varies based on the migration type, complexity, and scope. Data migration services, such as bulk data transfers priced per GB or TB, are charged separately based on data volume.
Do you provide your own transfer devices?
Yes, for offline data movement, we offer secure provider devices (like AWS Snowball, Azure Data Box, or Yntraa Cloud appliances).
What happens after migration is completed?
A formal handover takes place with final validation, documentation delivery, and knowledge transfer sessions.
Do you provide managed services after migration?
Yes, if included under the support model. Otherwise, operations are handed back to the customer team.
What optimization activities are included post-migration?
Right-sizing, performance tuning, enabling automation, CI/CD, and cost optimization as applicable.
Can Migration Assist modernize workloads during migration?
Yes, we can re-platform, containerize, or transition to PaaS solutions depending on workload readiness and business goals.
Why should I choose Migration Assist?
Because it ensures a secure, phased, low-risk migration with minimal disruption, embedded compliance, and expert-led execution tailored to your environment.
