What is Cloud Migration?
Cloud migration is the process of moving your IT systems from physical servers or platforms to the cloud. Think of it as upgrading to a smarter, more flexible, and cost-effective way of managing your technology. It’s about giving your business the tools it needs to grow, adapt, and thrive in today’s fast-moving world.

No More Slow Loading Times or Crashes
No More Slow Loading Times or Crashes
Struggling with crashes, missing data or files that don’t open properly? These common issues are often caused by outdated systems that can’t keep up with your business needs. With the cloud, you’ll eliminate slow loading times and ensure your information stays secure and accessible whenever you need it.
Scalability and Flexibility
Scalability and Flexibility
Cloud migration gives your business an infrastructure that grows with you. Whether you’re scaling up during peak seasons or expanding your operations, the cloud ensures you can adapt quickly and efficiently without the need for costly hardware upgrades. With the flexibility to add or reduce resources as needed, your business stays agile and ready for change.
Cost Efficiency
Cost Efficiency
Replacing on-site systems with cloud infrastructure can significantly cut IT costs. By eliminating the need for on-site servers and adopting pay-as-you-go models, you only pay for what you use. This means fewer upfront expenses, reduced maintenance costs, and better allocation of your budget to drive growth.
Improved Data Security and Compliance
Improved Data Security and Compliance
While the cloud might seem like a purely virtual concept, it’s grounded in a physical location—and physical security is just as important.
EBS Cloud is in a UK-based ISO 27001 certified data centre, protected by electronic gates and a set of stringent safety procedures. To keep your data safe, any visitors are searched and weighed on entrance and exit to ensure that nothing unauthorised is brought in or out.
On top of this, the cloud offers strong cyber security features to protect your data, including encryption and firewalls—virtual barriers that act like a shield, blocking unauthorised access to your systems.
Our cloud computing solutions are also designed to meet strict compliance standards, so you can operate confidently knowing you’re adhering to regulations like the Data Protection Act.
Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery
Most people think disaster recovery is something they’ll never need. But natural disasters, hardware failures, and cyberattacks can and do happen without warning. With cloud-based disaster recovery solutions, your data is securely stored and regularly backed up in off-site data centres, ensuring your data is kept safe no matter what happens.

With our own private cloud hosting platform, EBS Cloud, we provide cost-effective solutions tailored to your needs.

Why Choose EBS for Cloud Migration Solutions?
We’ve helped businesses navigate even the most complex cloud migrations, ensuring every step is handled smoothly and successfully. Our team takes the time to explain everything clearly, so you know exactly what’s happening and how it benefits your business.
The Institute of Leadership (IoL) turned to EBS to help them move to the cloud and become a fully remote business after the pandemic. Before their office lease ended, a flood caused a power outage, leaving their server completely offline.
EBS stepped in quickly, retrieved the server, and got everything running smoothly again with no disruption. Now fully on EBS Cloud, IoL saves on costs, avoids server risks, and enjoys reliable, personalised support from a team that understands their needs.
Our partnership with EBS is definitely long-term. We've been with them since August 2017 and we have no plans to move away, as the level of service we receive is fantastic.
