Initial review

What we verify before recommending a solution.

Migration starts with an inventory and recovery test, not with buying a new server. We define the cutover order, maintenance window and rollback plan, then validate every critical application with users before retiring the old platform.

Control points

Applications, services and dependencies hosted by the server
Hardware, operating system, licensing and capacity
Backup, restore and acceptable downtime
Migration order, acceptance testing and rollback plan
