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.

The Benefits of Cloud Migration Services
What makes moving to the cloud worthwhile?
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 These common issues are often caused by outdated systems that can’t keep up with your business needs.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
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
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
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
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.
Cloud Migration Challenges and How We Solve Them
What’s holding you back from migrating to the cloud?

As your long-standing partners of leading brands like Sage and Microsoft, we provide the expertise you need to make informed decisions and ensure the process is smooth, efficient, and stress-free.

Worried about interruptions to your business during the migration process? At EBS, we minimise downtime with careful planning and a step-by-step approach that prioritises your operations. By managing the transition around your schedule, we keep disruptions to an absolute minimum so your business can continue as usual.
Expensive Costs
Many businesses feel the same about the cloud: it sounds great, but it’s too expensive. With our own private cloud hosting platform, EBS Cloud, we provide cost-effective solutions tailored to your needs. You’ll benefit from a completely scalable and flexible solution, at a better price than public cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS and Google Cloud.
Legacy Systems
Older systems can be a challenge when moving to the cloud, but they don’t have to hold your business back. At EBS, we specialise in modernising or integrating your existing setup into the cloud. Our tailored cloud service ensures your operations continue to run smoothly, whilst you get to experience all of the benefits the cloud has to offer.

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.

Different businesses have different needs, which is why we offer a range of flexible hosting options to suit your requirements. Here’s a breakdown of the different types of cloud hosting available and how they can work for you.
100% Cloud Technology
With this option, all your servers and systems are hosted securely in the cloud, completely eliminating the need for on-site hardware.
Our team takes care of everything, from monitoring backups to installing updates and keeping your system secure, so you don’t have to. Plus, with top-level security measures at UK data centres and a setup designed to ensure 24/7 availability, you can trust that your business will run smoothly without interruptions.
Hybrid Hosting
This solution blends traditional on-site servers with cloud hosting, giving you the best of both worlds. It allows your existing systems to work alongside modern cloud solutions, so there’s no need to overhaul everything at once.
With hybrid hosting, you can scale easily, adding cloud capabilities as your needs grow, while still maintaining access to legacy systems. It’s a cost-effective way to modernise your IT infrastructure without losing what already works for you.
Colocation
If you’ve already invested in your own equipment but want the added benefits of cloud hosting, colocation is a great option. Your existing infrastructure can be relocated to a secure data centre, freeing you from the need for dedicated office space while still maintaining control over your hardware.
Colocation gives you access to high-level security and reliable systems without the full cost of transitioning to true cloud hosting.
