Renewal and cost decisions
Compare staying, a partial move, and a hybrid approach against your timeline, workload needs, and licensing assumptions.
Cloud migration
VMware to Azure migration with the dependencies still in view
Cocha helps organizations plan and execute migrations to Azure with access, networking, recovery, and operating costs considered together. A VMware renewal can be a decision point without making a full migration the automatic answer.

What a VMware to Azure migration decision has to cover
Security during the move
Review how identities, permissions, network paths, and monitoring need to work in the target environment.
Continuity after cutover
Plan around application dependencies, recovery requirements, operating ownership, and the evidence needed to accept the move.
Start with a Cloud Migration Snapshot.
The free Snapshot is a conversation and focused review of your migration priorities. We confirm fit, session scope, and inputs before scheduling. It helps identify what needs deeper assessment before you commit to a migration path.
Goals and constraints
Renewal dates, business priorities, deadlines, and workloads under consideration.
Current environment
A high-level inventory and the known dependencies that may shape the move.
Access and networking
Identity, connectivity, and permission questions for the target environment.
Recovery and operations
Backup, recovery objectives, monitoring, and who will operate the environment.
Assessment priorities
Missing evidence and the questions to resolve before costing or sequencing the migration.
The free Snapshot is not a complete workload discovery, priced migration design, disaster-recovery test, or execution plan. Detailed assessment and migration work are scoped separately. Cost and timing depend on the environment.
What you take away
Decision questions
The constraints and tradeoffs that need evidence before selecting a migration path.
Assessment priorities
The workloads and dependencies that warrant closer analysis, with gaps in the available information.
An agreed next step
What your team can investigate internally and what a separately scoped migration assessment should cover.
Know what to prepare.
Bring your infrastructure or cloud lead, the workloads you are considering, known renewal dates, a current inventory if available, and recovery requirements. We agree on any additional inputs and secure sharing arrangements before the review.
Senior practitioners, alongside your team.
Steven R. Combs brings 30 years in IT and 15 years working with law firms. We work with your internal IT and security teams or MSP, with responsibilities agreed before implementation.
Gabriella San Miguel coordinates project activity, scheduling, and business operations.
We aim to respond within 4–8 business hours, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Central.
When you need help acting on the findings.
The free Snapshot helps establish priorities. Paid assessment, implementation, and ongoing advisory are separate engagements, with scope, deliverables, and responsibilities agreed in advance.
1. Assess and compare
Build the workload and dependency view, evaluate Azure suitability and sizing, and compare cost assumptions and alternatives.
2. Plan and test
Define migration waves, access controls, validation criteria, cutover windows, and rollback procedures for the agreed scope.
3. Move and stabilize
Execute the agreed migration or provide advisory support alongside your team, then validate recovery, monitoring, and operating handoff.

Questions before you begin
Do we have to move everything to Azure?
No. Staying on the current platform, moving selected workloads, or using a hybrid approach can each be reasonable. We start with your constraints and evidence.
Can you work alongside our infrastructure team?
Yes. We can scope migration execution or security and governance advisory alongside the team managing the move.
Can you promise no downtime or a fixed saving?
We establish availability requirements, cost assumptions, and acceptance criteria during planning. Results depend on workloads, dependencies, licensing, and the chosen approach.
How soon will you respond?
We aim to respond within 4–8 business hours, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Central. We agree on the review and delivery schedule after confirming fit and inputs.
