Migration without unnecessary risk.
Book a free technical review. You receive a documented overview of your current environment, a detailed migration plan, and a fixed-price proposal, with no obligation to proceed. Responsibilities, scope, and pricing are defined for each step.
Migrations usually fail because of the surrounding process, not the technology
Assumptions, communication gaps, and unclear responsibilities cause downtime. Our four-step process surfaces these risks before go-live, turning the move into a planned event rather than a difficult overnight exercise.
Review
We begin with a free 30–60-minute technical review to inventory your systems, dependencies, SLA requirements, data volumes, and maintenance windows. The goal is to understand your environment, not to sell you a solution.
Migration plan
You receive a detailed written migration plan covering responsibilities, the step-by-step schedule, risks and mitigations, rollback procedures, a cost estimate, and the recommended Cygrids configuration. You can review the plan internally and decide whether and when to proceed.
Move & verification
We carry out the migration according to the plan, initially running environments in parallel where appropriate before cutting over during the agreed window. We verify functionality, performance, dependencies, and backups before go-live. If anything does not go as expected, the rollback plan is ready.
Operations & support
Once you are in production, we take over operations, monitoring, backup, and support according to the agreement. You get a named technical contact during the transition period and a weekly check-in for the first four weeks before we move into normal operations.
Clear responsibilities, no assumptions
The most common cause of migration problems is an unclear division of responsibilities. This is how we typically allocate the work. The exact RACI matrix is confirmed in step 2 of the migration plan.
R = responsible · S = supports · A = approves
Where you are coming from - what we most often see
Every migration is unique, but the patterns are not. Here are four scenarios we handle regularly: from hyperscalers, international budget providers, other Swedish providers, or self-operated infrastructure.
AWS / Azure / GCP → Cygrids
Organizations may consider moving from a public cloud when they need more predictable costs, Swedish data residency, or local technical support.
- Eliminate unpredictable data egress charges
- Swedish data sovereignty and lower latency
- Predictable costs based on the agreed configuration
- → Technical review of the existing stack
- → Migration plan with timeline and risk assessment
- → Parallel operations during the move
- → Verification before you close the cloud account
Hetzner / OVH → Cygrids
Common when you need Swedish jurisdiction, clear SLA terms, and technical support in Swedish without giving up price transparency.
- Swedish-speaking technical support
- Clearly defined SLA terms
- The same approach to pricing: transparent and reasonable
GleSYS / Telia / Bahnhof → Cygrids
You are satisfied with data residency in Sweden but want better pricing, more control, or more personalized support.
- Personal contact and shorter decision paths
- Transparent pricing without bundled operations
- The same Swedish jurisdiction, just a different partner
- → Direct import of VM images or data transfer with rsync
- → Minimal operational disruption during the transition
Your own server room → Cygrids
The hardware is starting to age and you want to avoid responsibility for power, cooling, and physical security.
- Move your hardware into Co-Location
- Or migrate to our hardware
- Hybrid operation during the transition
- → Co-Location option: your hardware in our data center
- → Or replace the hardware with a managed service
We migrate to the right service - you choose the level
Whether you need dedicated hardware, virtual servers, or Co-Location, the migration process is the same.
Dedicated servers
Exclusive hardware for maximum control and performance. Clear hardware tiers and management levels.
- AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon
- Up to 512 GB RAM
- Managed or unmanaged
Virtual servers
Fast provisioning, dedicated vCPU, and NVMe storage. Scalable and easy to get started with.
- Dedicated vCPUs
- NVMe SSD storage
- From SEK 50/month
Co-Location
Move your existing hardware to our data center. Keep full control while we handle the surrounding environment.
- From 1U to a full rack
- Dual power feeds and cooling
- Remote hands and 24/7 access
