Windows server – 1 week assessment

Modernize your infrastructure and applications with the power of cloud. Trust the biggest global network of datacenters with a list of 200+ services enabling organisations to grow and achieve more.

 

IFI Techsolutions is a born in cloud  Microsoft Gold Partner  and Cloud Solutions Provider.

 

Our team of Cloud Certified Experts assess your existing Windows server environment using Microsoft tools/services to gather information with minimal customer intervention and no disruption. We look for opportunities of server upgrade, enhancements, data transformation, system dependency and clustering, security and overall environment optimisation.

 

Based on the information’s gathered we will provide Migration Roadmap which will help you to understand time, cost, effort, methodology, security configurations along with backup and disaster recovery strategy for your datacenter in Azure. Microsoft Azure’s datacentres are best suited for any Windows server workload, getting you tbe best cost, ability to reuse your existing Windows Server investment and its support is backed directly by the Azure & Windows Server products team together.
