Cloud migration · Microsoft 365, Azure and AWS
Follow one move to the cloud, step by step
Assess, plan, migrate, secure, then keep it tuned. This is the route we take when a Texas business moves out of the server closet. Tap a lens to dive in, use the arrows, or let it play.
The journey · Closet to cloud
Your server closet on one side. The cloud on the other.
Email, shared files, the accounting app, the database your ERP runs on: today they all live in that closet. Moving them is a project with a start and a finish, planned so your people keep working while it happens. Here's the route we take, one stop at a time.
What LayerLogix does
- Map every workload that lives on your office servers
- Plan the move in waves, scheduled around your busy season
- Run the cloud afterward: identity, backup and spend
Step 1 · Readiness assessment
Sort every workload before anything moves
Not everything belongs in the cloud. Some apps lift over to a cloud server as they are, some are better replaced by Microsoft 365, and a few, like a door controller or a shop-floor PC, stay right where they are. Sort the inventory yourself, then see our call.
What LayerLogix does
- Inventory servers, apps, file shares and who uses them
- Check licensing, bandwidth and app vendor support for the cloud
- Recommend move, modernize or keep for every workload
Inventory sorted
Every workload has a lane.
Shop-floor PC: Keep on-prem. It drives equipment on the floor.
Step 2 · Waves and cutover
Move in waves, then cut over on a weekend
A pilot group goes first, so surprises show up with a few friendly users instead of the whole office. Email, files and servers follow in waves. The final switch happens over a weekend, with the rollback plan written down before anyone needs it. Press play.
What LayerLogix does
- Group people and systems into waves, with a pilot first
- Schedule cutover for a weekend and freeze changes on Friday
- Write the rollback plan and hold a go / no-go call
Step 3 · Migration
Data moves in the background while your team works
Mailboxes copy to Microsoft 365 and files to SharePoint while the old servers stay live. Your app server moves to Azure or AWS. Until each wave cuts over, people keep using what they already know. Try sending an email halfway through and see where it goes.
What LayerLogix does
- Pre-stage mailboxes and files, then sync the changes
- Rebuild or replicate servers in Azure or AWS and test them
- Check data and apps before each cutover, not after
Keep working
Your team works the whole time. Try it while the waves run.
Step 4 · Identity and backup
Lock down sign-ins and back up the cloud itself
Once your data lives in Microsoft 365, a password is the front door, so conditional access in Entra ID checks who you are, how you prove it and which device you're on. Microsoft keeps the service running. Getting your data back is on you, so we back it up separately.
What LayerLogix does
- Turn on MFA and conditional access policies in Entra ID
- Enroll laptops and phones in Intune so device health counts
- Back up mail, OneDrive and SharePoint to a separate copy
Files sync to OneDrive, and a separate backup keeps copies on a schedule.
Step 5 · Optimize and govern
Right-size the servers and clean up the licenses
Cloud bills creep. A server sized for launch day sits half idle, and licenses stay assigned to people who left months ago. This is the ongoing part that starts when the migration ends: right-sizing, license cleanup and spend you can see by department.
What LayerLogix does
- Resize idle cloud servers and shut test machines off at night
- Reclaim licenses from former staff and fix mismatched tiers
- Tag spend by department and set budget alerts

Our Process
Managed IT or Managed Cloud — where does your stack actually live?
Same business, same technology. The line between managed IT and managed cloud is about where the workload runs — and who is accountable when it breaks. Most Texas businesses sit on both sides of it.

One business, one stack
Before anything gets a label it is a single technology estate: people at desks, a network they depend on, servers somewhere, and a steadily growing share that already runs in someone else’s data center.
unifiedManaged IT owns the physical edge
Endpoints, the office network, on-prem servers, and the people who file the tickets. This is the work that has a location — someone can physically walk to it when it breaks.
managed ITManaged Cloud owns day two
Not the migration — the three years after it. Tenant configuration that drifts, Azure and AWS workloads that scale without asking, licensing nobody reconciles, and cloud spend that compounds quietly.
managed cloudThree layers belong to both
Identity, security monitoring, and backup sit directly on the seam. This is exactly where a single-scope provider hands you a gap and calls it out of scope.
shared layersOne provider, one accountability line
Most Texas businesses are hybrid and need both halves running. Split them across two vendors and the seam becomes an argument at precisely the moment something is down.
