Cloud Migration Services for UAE Enterprises

Cloud Migration Services UAE organisations actually need starts with an honest assessment, not a hyperscaler's sales pitch. Most on-prem estates in the Gulf carry three compounding problems: hardware refresh cycles that never get cheaper, a maintenance burden that pulls your engineers off real work, and genuine concern about what moves, where it goes, and what the regulator will say. We have been solving exactly those problems here since 2003.

We use the 6R framework, Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain, to build a migration plan that fits your workloads, not a template copied from a vendor playbook. UAE-resident regions, and private or hybrid cloud all have their place. We will tell you which is right for each workload, wave by wave, with the business case in writing before you commit to anything.

Data residency is not an afterthought on any engagement we run. UAE PDPL, NESA and sector-specific requirements are mapped at the assessment stage and enforced in the landing zone from day one, so your compliance position gets stronger as you migrate, not weaker.

Enterprise data centre infrastructure migrated to cloud by IP Care Technologies

What We Migrate

Every Workload Type, Every Cloud Target

We move everything from single-server applications to multi-tier enterprise platforms. The platform drives the destination choice, not the other way round.

On-prem servers, VMs and physical bare-metal to Azure, AWS or Nutanix
Exchange, SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive to Microsoft 365 / Azure
Databases, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, to managed cloud services
Legacy applications: rehost (lift-and-shift), replatform (containers), or refactor
Networking: SD-WAN, ExpressRoute and Direct Connect for cloud edge connectivity

Capabilities

What's Included

Cloud Readiness Assessment

Workload discovery, dependency mapping and 6R classification across your entire estate, with a clear, costed business case before any commitment is made.

Migration Strategy

Rehost, replatform or refactor. We pick the right approach per workload and build wave sequencing with documented rollback at every cutover point.

Microsoft 365 & Azure Migration

Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive and on-prem workloads migrated to a UAE-resident Azure region, with Conditional Access, MFA and Defender hardening included.

AWS, Private & Hybrid Cloud

UAE-resident AWS regions for residency-sensitive workloads, private cloud on Nutanix or VMware, and hybrid architectures that keep the right workloads on-prem.

Data Residency & Compliance

UAE PDPL, NESA and sector-specific requirements built into the landing-zone design from day one, not bolted on after the migration is done.

Post-Migration Cost Optimisation

FinOps governance, automated right-sizing and reserved-instance planning, surface and reclaim wasted cloud spend without service disruption.

Why IP Care

What Sets Us Apart

Trusted since 2003

Two decades of enterprise IT delivery across UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The track record matters when the cutover window is 2 am.

Your own engineers, not a subcontractor

Your SLA is answered by our own UAE-based engineers.

IT and ELV under one vendor

IP Care covers cloud, infrastructure, cybersecurity and ELV. Your network stays in sync with your cloud programme. No coordination overhead between vendors.

Local engineers, local SLAs

Your migration team is in your timezone, speaks your language and is reachable by phone, not just by ticket.

6R-Led, Not Lift-and-Dump

We assess each workload (rehost, replatform, refactor…) rather than moving everything as-is. The right migration approach per workload is documented before any cutover is scheduled.

We Run It After

The team that migrates you can manage and optimise the cloud day to day. No handover to a different team that has never seen your estate.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my business have downtime during migration?

Most workloads migrate with zero user-visible downtime using parallel-run and cutover techniques. We schedule cutovers in low-traffic windows, typically late evening or weekends, and keep the source environment running until sign-off is confirmed. A small number of legacy applications with no replication support may need a short maintenance window, which is agreed and communicated well in advance.

Where will our data be hosted after migration?

That depends on your compliance requirements. UAE PDPL and NESA-regulated workloads run in UAE-resident regions. Data without residency restrictions can run wherever makes the most commercial and operational sense. We classify every data type against residency requirements before the migration plan is finalised, and the landing zone enforces those policies automatically.

How long does a typical cloud migration take?

A focused SME migration of 20-50 servers typically takes 6-10 weeks from assessment to completion. A large enterprise estate of 200-500+ workloads runs 4-9 months in waves. The timeline is driven by application complexity, dependency chains and your available cutover windows, not by how fast we want to move. You will get a week-by-week plan before you commit.

Do you support hybrid cloud setups?

Yes. Many clients do not go fully cloud, latency-sensitive workloads, OT environments or sector regulations keep certain things on-prem permanently. We design hybrid architectures on Azure Arc, AWS Outposts or private cloud (Nutanix, VMware) that integrate cleanly with your public cloud footprint. Hybrid is a valid long-term target, not just a stepping stone.

Can you migrate our Microsoft 365 at the same time?

Yes, and we usually recommend it. Exchange, SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive migrations run in parallel with the infrastructure migration, with Conditional Access, MFA and Defender hardening included. Combining both in one programme avoids duplicated identity work and gets you to a single modern estate faster.
