Cloud migration services for UK businesses
From our base in London, LANIX moves businesses across the UK to Azure, public or private cloud on a plan typically built in four weeks and lead times of 8–10 weeks, with high availability built in. 100% of our last 50 cloud migration clients saved money — running at less than 0.01% downtime, with no upfront capital cost and the freedom to scale up or down without buying more hardware.
London IT infrastructure projects, delivered
Cloud and hybrid IT gives you high availability, effectively zero server downtime and no upfront capital spend on hardware. LANIX plans and delivers London IT infrastructure projects and cloud migrations for businesses across the UK — public cloud, private cloud or a mix of both — so you can add or remove people whenever you like without buying another server. A standard LANIX hybrid or cloud migration takes four weeks to plan, with lead times of generally 8–10 weeks, scheduled around your business so your team keeps working throughout.
LANIX gives you high availability, predictable monthly costs and the freedom to scale.
High availability, zero downtime
We migrate in stages, overnight or at weekends, with tested rollback points ready. Our last 50 cloud migrations ran at less than 0.01% downtime — your team simply keeps working.
Security is baked in
We don’t bolt security on afterwards. Identity, access controls and backup are built into the design from day one, so your new setup is more secure than what you left behind.
No upfront hardware costs
There is no capital outlay on servers — you pay a predictable monthly cost instead. Take on ten new starters or scale back down, and you upsize or downsize without buying any more hardware.
Three big yesses
Across our last 50 cloud migrations, 100% of clients reduced their IT costs while running at less than 0.01% downtime. These are the three things they tell us afterwards.
Yes — our people are just as productive working from home as they are in the office.
Yes — our cash flow improved, because we pay monthly instead of buying hardware up front.
Yes — our servers simply don’t go down any more.
Our cloud migration process
Assess
We map your servers, apps, data and licences, and spend around four weeks building your costed migration plan before any work starts.
Plan
We design a public cloud, private cloud or hybrid environment around how your business works, with phases, owners and rollback options.
Migrate
We move your servers, apps and data in controlled waves, mostly out of hours, so nothing goes missing and nothing breaks.
Verify
We test performance, logins, permissions and backups against agreed success criteria before signing each wave off.
Manage
Once you’re live, we monitor, patch and tune everything on an ongoing basis so you don’t have to think about it.
Private cloud migration
Need dedicated infrastructure or strict UK data residency? Our private cloud migration service moves workloads onto UK-hosted private cloud, on its own or as part of a hybrid setup with Azure.
High availability services in London
We design for minimal downtime: redundant servers, failover across UK data centres, resilient connectivity and tested backups, with on-site London engineers when hardware is involved.
Azure and Microsoft 365 specialists
Moving to Azure keeps identity, security and licensing in one Microsoft tenant, and prepares your data for AI. See our Copilot readiness assessment and Microsoft 365 services, or read our London and UK case studies.
FAQs
Yes. LANIX delivers IT infrastructure projects for London businesses and across the UK — cloud and hybrid migrations, network refreshes, hardware lifecycle replacement, comms rooms and office build-outs — under one accountable project team. Most projects touch more than one of those areas, so you get a single plan, a single point of contact and no gaps between suppliers.
Yes. For businesses that need dedicated infrastructure, strict data residency or predictable performance, we migrate workloads to UK-hosted private cloud, either on its own or alongside Azure in a hybrid setup, with the same assessment, plan, migrate and verify process.
Yes. We build high availability architectures with redundant servers, failover across UK data centres, resilient connectivity and tested backups, so a single failure does not take your business offline. London clients get on-site engineers when hardware is involved.
Most UK businesses already run on Microsoft 365, so moving servers to Azure keeps identity, security and licensing in one place. It also lays the foundations for Microsoft Copilot, which relies on well-organised data in your Microsoft tenant.
Cloud migration is the process of moving your data, applications and IT infrastructure from on‑premises servers or legacy hosting into a cloud platform such as Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud. A well‑run project starts with discovery and assessment, then designs the target architecture, pilots low‑risk workloads and migrates core systems in phases with testing at each stage.
A typical LANIX hybrid or cloud migration takes four weeks to plan, covering assessment, design and a phased migration, testing and cutover schedule. Our lead times are generally 8–10 weeks. Larger or more complex estates can extend beyond that, and we tell you up front if yours will — with clear milestones and regular progress updates throughout.
Costs are usually split into one‑off project costs (assessment, planning, data moves, testing and any refactoring) and ongoing monthly cloud infrastructure spend. One‑off project work for UK SMEs commonly ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands of pounds, while ongoing cloud infrastructure often lands in the £500–£3,000 per month range depending on size and workload complexity.
With good planning, many workloads can be migrated with minimal or no noticeable downtime using staged syncs, maintenance windows and clear rollback plans. Business‑critical systems are typically moved during agreed out‑of‑hours periods. Before we cut over any workload we confirm a tested rollback is in place, so if something unexpected appears we can reverse the change quickly and your business keeps running.
Major cloud providers such as Azure, AWS and Google Cloud all offer UK and EU data centres and can keep your data within those regions to support UK GDPR and sector requirements. You should also have the right data processing agreements in place with your cloud provider, and data residency and retention settings that align with your regulatory obligations — we set both up as part of the migration.
Yes. While our roots are in London, we work with businesses across the UK. If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just get in touch and we’ll let you know.
