Assess before we move.
Discovery of what you run, the dependencies, and the right path per workload — no blind lift-and-shift.
Capability provenA workload-by-workload migration plan, not a one-size template.
How we migrate & modernize
Five moves, one team.
We assess, migrate, and modernize workload by workload — then the same engineering team stays to run it.
Migrate without the drama.
Phased, tested, and built around rollback plans and minimal disruption — so the migration doesn’t become a big-bang event.
Capability provenControlled cutovers, not big-bang risk.
Modernize what is worth it.
Containers, serverless, and managed databases where they pay off — part of the re-architecture that reduced one VOD platform’s AWS costs by roughly 90%.
Capability provenAWS-certified engineers who re-architect, not just relocate.
Secure & compliance-ready from day one.
In-region where required, encrypted, and access-controlled from day one — designed to support applicable NCA, SAMA, and PDPL requirements.
Capability provenSecurity and compliance controls built in before go-live — not added later.
Cost-optimized on arrival.
Right-sized and using the right AWS pricing commitments, so you don’t land on an inflated bill.
Capability provenMigration and FinOps by the same team.
The migration paths
There isn’t one way to move — there are seven.
Rehost
“Lift and shift” — move largely as-is; typically the fastest path for straightforward workloads.
Replatform
Move with targeted improvements, such as adopting a managed database, without a full redesign.
Repurchase
Replace the existing application with a SaaS or managed product instead of continuing to run it yourself.
Refactor
Re-architect for cloud-native scale, resilience, and cost efficiency.
Relocate
Move the environment largely as-is — without rebuilding the applications.
Retain
Keep it on-prem for now — some workloads are better left where they are.
Retire
Decommission what you no longer need.
We recommend the path per workload — not one method for everything.

Migration and modernization, end to end.
- Cloud migration assessment & readiness
What moves, in what order, and what it costs — before anything changes.
- AWS migration — rehost / replatform
Rehost or replatform workloads onto AWS with tested cutover and rollback plans.
- Application modernization
Legacy applications modernized with containers and serverless where it makes business and technical sense.
- Database migration
Databases moved with minimal downtime and verified data integrity.
- Data center exit / legacy migration
A full exit from your data center, one workload wave at a time.
- Re-architecture for cost & scale
Re-architected where the current environment costs too much or can no longer scale.
Why White Stork
We modernize, not just move. The value is fixing what is worth fixing — proven by a VOD re-architecture that reduced AWS costs by roughly 90%.
Secure & compliance-ready from day one
In-region where required, with controls designed to support NCA, SAMA and PDPL requirements.
Cost-optimized from day one
Right-sized and cost-optimized before go-live.
We run it after
The same team that migrates your workloads can operate them 24/7 afterwards.

The phases
Every migration starts with a free assessment that produces the plan and a realistic timeline — then we move, modernize, and run it for you.
5 phases
Free migration assessment
Discovery of what you run and dependencies; the right path per workload; a plan + estimate.
FreePlan & prepare
Landing zone, security baseline, sequencing.
Migrate
Phased and tested, with cutover and rollback plans to minimize disruption.
Modernize
Containers, serverless, managed services where they pay off.
Optimize & run
Cost optimization and 24/7 operations — by the same team that migrated it.
Your questions, answered
Rehost (lift and shift), replatform, repurchase, refactor/re-architect, relocate, retain, and retire. Each workload gets the path that fits it — the skill is choosing the right approach, not applying one method to everything.
Assess, plan and prepare, migrate, modernize, then optimize and run. Every migration starts with a free assessment that gives you a plan and realistic timeline.
It depends on size and complexity — a focused workload can move in weeks, while a full estate may take months. The free assessment gives you a realistic timeline before you commit.
We design to minimize downtime through phased cutovers, testing, and rollback plans — so disruption to the business is kept as low as practical.
Lift-and-shift is fast and appropriate for some workloads; others benefit more from modernization. We recommend the right path workload by workload, rather than re-architecting everything.
