Moving cloud? We know just the people

A little bit of BIT, a little of Soverity

At BIT, we’ve got our own cloud, hosted in our own data centres in the Netherlands. We provide VMs, storage and the infrastructure that keeps applications running. But what if you’ve already got an existing cloud environment? How do you go about moving to another cloud? A migration like that usually involves a bit more than copying a few files and flicking a switch.

We don’t handle cloud migrations ourselves. That’s where Soverity comes in. They’ll help you work out what’s involved in making the move and carry out the migration with you.

Different cloud, same apps?

Perhaps you’d like to be a little less dependent on a US hyperscaler. Maybe you just want a clearer picture of who can access your data. Or you’re just looking for a cloud provider with better customer service.

Whatever your reasons, you’ll want your applications to keep doing what they’re supposed to do after the migration. That takes preparation. Which services are you using with your current provider? Can you take them with you, or will you need alternatives? How do you move your data? And how do you keep the whole lot up and running during the move?

These are exactly the kinds of questions Soverity’s engineers tackle. They’ve got experience with hyperscalers, European cloud providers and physical servers. They’ll help you put together a migration plan and carry it out.

We provide the infrastructure, they handle the migration

If your environment is moving to BIT, we’ll take care of the underlying infrastructure. Soverity will help make sure your applications and data end up where they need to be. To make that happen, they’ll work closely with your organisation’s technical team, so the knowledge of your new environment stays with you, too. And if BIT is also going to manage all or part of your environment, our engineers will be involved in the project as well. That way, we can take over management smoothly once the migration is complete.

BIT and Soverity share a similar outlook on digital autonomy. You should be able to decide for yourself where to host your IT, who you depend on and whether you want to move elsewhere again in the future. Open source, freedom of choice and sovereignty are important to both of us.

And that also means giving you impartial advice. Soverity will work with your organisation to determine which environment is the best fit. The BIT NL Cloud is one of the options, but if another solution turns out to be a better fit, that should be an option too.

Planning a move?

Would you like to move your cloud environment to the BIT NL Cloud, but have no idea where to start? Get in touch and tell us what you’ve got in mind. We can discuss what we can offer and put you in touch with Soverity to explore a potential cloud migration.

Would you rather explore your options first and find out which sovereign infrastructure is the best fit for your organisation? You can also contact Soverity directly.
