What Are the Stages of an On-Premise Cloud Deployment?
Assessment (Week 1): M A Global Network's team assesses your current infrastructure and workloads. We evaluate: current server hardware and its remaining useful life, application workload requirements (CPU, RAM, storage IOPS), network infrastructure quality, physical space and power availability for new hardware, and compliance or data sovereignty requirements. This assessment produces a detailed specification for the on-premise cloud infrastructure.
Hardware procurement (Weeks 2–4 if new hardware needed): Enterprise server hardware from vendors including HPE, Dell, and Lenovo is procured to specification. Hardware delivery and physical installation at your location are coordinated. For deployments using existing hardware, this stage is skipped or shortened.
Infrastructure configuration (Week 3–5): Hypervisor installation and configuration, storage system setup and performance testing, network configuration including security controls and management access, and initial VM provisioning and testing.
Application migration (Week 4–6): Existing applications and data are migrated to the on-premise cloud infrastructure. Applications are tested on the new infrastructure before cutover. Staff are trained on any procedural changes (typically minimal — the experience from their perspective is identical).
Handover and ongoing management: Monitoring and management systems are configured. M A Global Network establishes remote management access and begins ongoing maintenance. Your team has a dedicated support contact for any questions.
What Is the Typical Timeline?
A straightforward on-premise cloud deployment with new hardware takes 4–6 weeks from project start to full operation. Deployments reusing existing hardware can be faster. Complex deployments with multiple existing systems to migrate take longer.
Contact M A Global Network to discuss an on-premise cloud deployment for your organisation. We provide a detailed project plan with timeline and cost after an initial assessment conversation.
