Case Study: Vision Solutions achieves minimum-downtime Linux server migrations with Microsoft Azure

Migrating Linux Servers to Microsoft Azure with Minimum Downtime

Vision Solutions helps customers migrate critical Linux workloads to Microsoft Azure while avoiding the lengthy outages that traditional migrations cause. Organisations face challenges such as strict SLAs, limited bandwidth, data-consistency concerns and insufficient testing options, so moving production servers to Azure without disrupting 24/7 operations is a major pain point.

Vision Solutions’ Double‑Take Move performs continuous block-level replication from source servers (SUSE, RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu) to Azure over any TCP/IP connection (VPN/NAT supported), allowing administrators to mirror systems, verify sync, then perform a manual cutover for near‑zero downtime. The approach scales (two people can migrate hundreds of servers), supports compression/encryption and per‑server licensing with 60‑day reuse and 24/7 support, enabling migrations that preserve availability while unlocking Azure’s scalability, elasticity and manageability.
