Cloud migration for Hunter firms still running an office server
Plenty of Hunter engineering and professional firms still run a server in the office: shared drives, an old database, maybe a line-of-business application. It's ageing, backups are uncertain, and staff working on site or from home struggle to reach it.
We plan and carry out the move to Australian-hosted cloud services, with backups, access control and running costs agreed up front.
Plan before moving
We inventory what the server does, who uses it and how, then plan where each part should go: cloud storage, a hosted database or a modern replacement. Both systems run side by side until the new set-up is proven.
Access from anywhere, safely
Staff reach files and systems from site or home with individual accounts and multi-factor authentication, not a shared VPN password.
Sound familiar?
The problems we hear most often about this, why they happen and what we would do first.
Why this happens
Backups have never been tested by restoring them.
What we would do first
- Test a full restore now
- Move to automatic cloud backups
- Test restores on a schedule
Why this happens
Files live on an office server behind a slow VPN.
What we would do first
- Move shared files to cloud storage
- Give staff individual secure access
- Retire the VPN once everyone has moved

Frequently asked questions
- What about our old line-of-business application?
- We assess whether it can run in the cloud, be replaced, or needs to stay put for now. We'll recommend the least risky option.
- Do you look after our computers and email too?
- No. We handle servers, hosting and applications. A local IT provider is better for desktops and email, and we can work with them.
