Start with an inventory
In a 30-minute conversation, we review your current data center and outline a PWS Cloud environment with a clear monthly cost.
From your data center to PWS Cloud
Out-of-warranty servers, aging UPS equipment and a refresh plan that keeps being postponed. Move operations to a managed environment with a monthly fee in Brazilian reais, backup and disaster recovery, with a planned transition for running workloads.
How migration works
On-premisesPWS Cloud
- Infrastructure and dependency inventory1 to 3 weeks
- Mirrored environment and data replication3 to 6 weeks
- Cutover window and go-live1 weekend
- Monitoring and decommissioning30 to 60 days
Illustrative timeline. The project schedule is defined after assessment.
Four recurring problems with owned hardware
It is about spending less time and money on infrastructure that does not differentiate your business.
EOL
The entire estate ages together
Servers, storage and virtualization licenses approach end of life together. The refresh bill arrives all at once, every four or five years.
RSK
Recovery exists on paper
Running backups is not the same as tested restoration. Without a secondary site, a serious incident can mean days offline.
IT
Focus on the business, not the machines
Failed disks, cooling systems and firmware updates keep valuable work waiting behind the latest emergency.
TIME
Growth takes months
More capacity means quotes, purchasing, delivery and installation. Projects wait for hardware to arrive.

The real cost
What leaves your budget and what replaces it
An honest comparison considers the full cost of owning infrastructure against the monthly service fee.
Out
Owned infrastructure costs
Purchasing and refreshing servers and storage
Maintenance contracts and extended warranties
Virtualization and backup licenses
Power, UPS systems and room cooling
Redundant connections and physical space
Internal team hours spent maintaining hardware
Costs that rarely appear together in one cost center.
In
One agreed monthly fee
Infrastructure sized for your workloads
Backup with tested procedures and defined retention
A disaster recovery plan
24/7 monitoring and support
Usage, availability and security reports
Additional capacity provisioned in days rather than months
Pricing in Brazilian reais, approved before any move.
What changes in practice
| Topic | Keep on-premises | PWS Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | Asset purchases at each refresh cycle | An agreed monthly fee without capital outlay |
| Growth | Hardware quotes, purchases and installation | Additional capacity provisioned within days |
| End of life | Your responsibility when vendor support ends | Platform refresh is our responsibility |
| Backup | Internal procedures that may not be tested | Automatic copies with verified restoration |
| Disaster recovery | Depends on a secondary site few companies have | A project-defined plan with periodic testing |
| Space and power | Physical space, cooling and UPS at your expense | A managed data center outside your infrastructure budget |
| IT team | Split between maintenance and projects | Free to focus on business needs |
Three stages, in this order
Nothing is switched off until it is running and validated at the destination.
Inventory
and design
We map servers, databases, legacy systems, licenses and integrations, including undocumented equipment. You receive a target design and an agreed monthly cost.
Migration
in waves
We build a mirrored environment and replicate data while the current estate remains online. Cutovers start with lower-risk workloads and include a rollback plan.
Go-live and decommissioning
We closely monitor operations during the first 30 days. Only then is old equipment retired, with guidance on disposal, resale or reuse.

Frequently asked questions
What businesses ask before deciding
Will my legacy system work in the cloud?
Assessment checks operating systems, databases, licensing and physical dependencies. Applications with special requirements may need adaptation or a hybrid design.
Do I need to switch off the entire data center at once?
No. Migration can be divided into waves. The old environment should only be retired after systems and agreed acceptance criteria are validated.
What about hardware I already purchased?
Existing assets are included in cost and transition planning. Reuse, temporary operation or retirement depends on each device's condition.
Will office users experience slower performance?
Latency, bandwidth and application behavior are measured before migration. Connectivity adjustments and user testing can be included in the plan.
Will my data stay in Brazil?
The location of production data, backups and recovery is defined in the contract. Share data residency requirements during the inventory stage.
What happens to my IT team?
Responsibilities are agreed in the project. PWS handles the contracted infrastructure scope while the internal team retains the agreed application and process responsibilities.
