Case Study: Vision Solutions achieves near-zero downtime Linux migration to Azure with Microsoft

Migrating Linux Servers to Microsoft Azure with Minimum Downtime

Microsoft Corporation worked with Vision Solutions, a small professional services company in Germany, to address the challenge of migrating critical Linux servers from Amazon Web Services to Microsoft Azure with minimal downtime. Conventional migration techniques were causing lengthy, unacceptable disruptions for their 24/7 business applications, which was delaying their cloud adoption and forcing them to maintain expensive, inflexible infrastructure.

The solution implemented by Microsoft and Vision Solutions utilized the Double-Take Move software to replicate Linux servers to Azure with near-zero downtime. The automated process ensured data consistency and allowed the servers to remain online during the transfer, requiring only a brief cutover period. As a result, Vision Solutions successfully migrated its workloads, enabling the company to benefit from the improved scalability, flexibility, and elasticity of the Microsoft Azure platform.
