Cloud solutions

Get off the ageing server before it decides for you

Our cloud migration services move UK businesses off old servers and legacy systems onto secure, backed-up cloud hosting, planned so the business keeps running while it happens.

The problem

You'll recognise at least one of these

These problems rarely arrive as one big failure. They cost a few hours here and a wrong number there, every week, until they feel normal.

  • A key system runs on one server in a cupboard, and nobody wants to touch it.
  • Working from home means a slow remote connection, or no access at all.
  • You're not sure when the backups were last tested.
  • The software was built years ago, and the person who built it has moved on.
How we fix it

A planned move, with no surprises

Moving to the cloud is mostly about planning. We work out what you have, what depends on what and the safest order to move it, then move it without stopping your business.

We audit first

We list every system, file store and connection, and who relies on each one. Nothing is moved until we know what it touches.

We move in stages

Each part is copied, tested and checked with your team before the old version is switched off, so there is always a way back.

We look after it afterwards

Hosting, security updates, monitoring and tested backups, handled by the team that did the move.

In practice

What we typically move

Not sure your problem fits? Ask. We'll tell you on the first call, before any price is agreed, and we'll say so if we're not the right people.

  • Line-of-business software running on an office server
  • Databases and file shares
  • Old Access databases and in-house tools
  • Websites and web apps on outdated hosting
  • Email and document storage into Microsoft 365
How it works

Four steps, and you approve each one

You always know what is being built, what it costs and what happens next.

1

A free call about the problem

Thirty minutes, no sales deck. We ask what's broken, what it costs you and what good would look like. If software isn't the answer, we'll tell you.

2

A fixed scope and a fixed price

You get a written plan in plain English: what we'll build, in what order, and what it costs. No open-ended day rates.

3

Working software early

We build in stages, so you see and use real screens within weeks, not a big reveal at the end.

4

We stay after launch

Support, hosting and the next phase of the roadmap. The team that built it is the team you call.

Straight answers

Cloud solutions: common questions

What is cloud migration?

Cloud migration is moving your software, data and files from your own servers onto hosting run in secure data centres, so they can be reached safely from anywhere and are backed up automatically.

Will my business have to stop during the move?

No. Cube Purple moves systems in stages and tests each one before switching over, usually outside working hours, so your team keeps working throughout.

Where will my data be stored?

Cube Purple recommends UK hosting for UK businesses and confirms the location in writing before any data is moved.

Can you move an old system nobody understands?

Usually, yes. Cube Purple starts by working out what the system does and what depends on it. Sometimes it moves as it is, and sometimes it is better rebuilt, and you get that advice before any price is agreed.

Free, no obligation

What would happen if that server failed tomorrow?
