CLOUD STORAGE MIGRATION
Break free from expensive cloud storage
Modernise your data without risking downtime or loss.
Overview
Fixed price storage migration
Is your data locked into a cloud archive? Or is it stuck on-premises in an outdated archive platform?
We speak with many enterprises whose archive is becoming expensive, difficult to maintain, or that no longer meets their needs.
We can deliver a full-service migration from start to finish. Or, if you’re working with a tight budget, we can support and skill up your in-house IT team to successfully carry out the migration themselves.
BENEFITS
The benefits of our storage migration service
Reduce your storage costs
Cloud storage vendors can sometimes increase their prices or quietly change the terms of your data hosting agreement – leading to unexpected and often significant cost hikes.
Alternatively, on-premises storage can become increasingly expensive and complex to maintain, especially when the rest of your infrastructure has already moved to the cloud.
By migrating all or selected data, you can significantly reduce storage costs – without compromising the critical information your business depends on or needs to retain for compliance.
Work with an experienced team
Essential has been helping enterprises migrate their records from one platform to another for well over 20 years.
We know what it takes to get the best outcomes for everyone involved, getting quick results, zero downtime for users and compliance assurance for your legal department.
Get advanced control
Our migrations offer sophisticated control and can cope with virtually any anomaly.
- Exclude what you don’t need, e.g., items > 7 years
- Merge archives belonging to the same person (common after a relocation or name change)
- Identify leavers, orphaned files, etc.
Secure, Compliant Archive Migration
Our team, solutions and processes, will ensure a reliable and compliant migration with services that include:
- Chain of custody reports account for each message
- Automatic failover, logging & task re-runs avoid data loss
- Critical metadata is preserved for legal teams.

What our customers have to say about us
What our customers have to say
“Although shortcuts would still work across the network after migrating to Microsoft 365, the prospect of maintaining a dedicated email archive on-prem was a non-starter. Essential worked out the best strategy for migrating our archived emails into Exchange Online.”
Stephen Appleby, at An Post
What our customers have to say
“We did our research into migration methods, including manual extraction, which was deemed totally impractical. We had no issues and no surprises and achieved our objective to complete our migration earlier than scheduled.”

What our customers have to say
“The migration approach certainly worked for us so we do not hesitate in recommending this approach to other organisations. We had no issues and no surprises and achieved our objective to migrate all archived email from EAS to the Exchange 2010 Online archive mailboxes. Essential delivered what was promised at the outset.”
