Question 1

What are the typical challenges in Google Cloud migration?

Accepted Answer

Common challenges include managing data transfer volumes, ensuring application compatibility, network latency, and security configurations. PakSoft addresses these with meticulous planning and phased migration strategies.

Question 2

How long does a Google Cloud migration usually take?

Accepted Answer

Migration timelines vary significantly based on complexity, data volume, and application count. A small migration might take 4-8 weeks, while large enterprises could require 6-12 months or more.

Question 3

Will there be downtime during the migration process?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is to minimize downtime. We employ strategies like live migration, database replication, and phased cutovers to ensure business continuity. Critical applications often experience near-zero downtime.

Question 4

How can PakSoft help with cost optimization on GCP?

Accepted Answer

We analyze your usage patterns, recommend right-sizing instances, leverage committed use discounts, and implement budget alerts. Our experts ensure you only pay for what you need, optimizing your GCP spend.

Question 5

What security measures are implemented during and after migration?

Accepted Answer

We integrate GCP's robust security features, including IAM, VPC Service Controls, encryption at rest and in transit, and security monitoring. Our team ensures compliance with industry standards and best practices.

Question 6

Can PakSoft help with migrating legacy applications to GCP?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We specialize in modernizing legacy applications, either by re-platforming them to managed services like Cloud Run or GKE, or by re-architecting them into microservices for cloud-native benefits.

Question 7

What is the difference between lift-and-shift and re-platforming in GCP migration?

Accepted Answer

Lift-and-shift moves applications with minimal changes, often to Compute Engine. Re-platforming involves optimizing applications for cloud services like Cloud SQL or GKE, gaining more cloud-native benefits without full re-architecture.

Question 8

How does PakSoft ensure data integrity during migration to BigQuery?

Accepted Answer

We use secure data transfer services like Storage Transfer Service and Data Transfer Service, implementing robust validation and reconciliation checks. This ensures all data is accurately and completely migrated to BigQuery.
