Cloud Migration Estimator Questions
Does this estimate include ongoing Azure costs?
No — this estimate covers the one-time migration service fee. Ongoing Azure or AWS infrastructure costs (compute, storage, networking, licences) are separate and depend on your workload profile. We provide a cloud spend estimate as part of the migration assessment, including a comparison against your current on-premise costs. Most UAE businesses save 20–40% total cost of ownership once migration is complete.
Is Azure UAE North the right choice for UAE businesses?
For most UAE businesses, yes. Azure UAE North (Dubai) provides UAE data residency for PDPL compliance, has the lowest latency to UAE users, and is the recommended region for businesses with existing Microsoft licensing (SQL Server, Windows Server, Microsoft 365). AWS Middle East UAE is a good alternative if your workloads are already AWS-based or if you need specific AWS services. We give you a neutral recommendation based on your workload profile, not a vendor preference.
How disruptive is a cloud migration?
With proper planning, cloud migration can be nearly invisible to end users. Database migrations use continuous replication so the cutover is a 5–30 minute maintenance window. Microsoft 365 migrations are done in batches, often overnight. The most disruptive migrations are applications with complex dependencies — which is why we always run migrations in non-production environments first and document rollback procedures before any production cutover.
