Which AWS service is used for data migration?
AWS offers several services for data migration depending on your source and target. AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) handles database migrations with minimal downtime. AWS DataSync accelerates file and object storage transfers. AWS Snowball is used for large-scale offline data transfers. For application-level migrations, AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) is the primary tool. Cygnet.One's certified team selects and combines these based on your specific workload profile and data volume.
What is the ORBIT migration framework?
ORBIT is Cygnet.One's structured cloud migration framework covering five phases: assess, plan, migrate, optimize, and run. It ensures that every enterprise migration—regardless of workload complexity—is executed with clear milestones, minimal business disruption, and measurable outcomes. The framework incorporates AWS Well-Architected best practices and FinOps principles to control costs from day one.
How long does an AWS cloud migration typically take?
Migration timelines vary based on workload complexity, data volumes, and the number of applications involved. A focused lift-and-shift of a single application may take 4–8 weeks, while a full enterprise migration with replatforming and modernization typically spans 3–9 months. Cygnet.One's discovery and planning phases provide a realistic timeline and phased roadmap before migration begins.
Is Cygnet.One an AWS-certified partner?
Yes. Cygnet.One is an AWS Advanced Tier Partner, which means our team includes AWS-certified architects and engineers who have demonstrated deep technical expertise in AWS services. This partnership status gives our clients access to AWS technical resources, best practice guidance, and validated migration methodologies to ensure successful cloud outcomes.
What industries do you serve with AWS cloud migration services in India?
Cygnet.One serves enterprises across BFSI, NBFCs, banking, insurance, healthcare, FMCG, IT services, BPO, manufacturing, education, and consumer goods. Our experience with regulated industries means we understand India-specific compliance considerations—including RBI cloud guidelines and data residency requirements—and design AWS architectures that meet them from the outset.
How do you ensure data security and compliance during migration?
Data security is embedded throughout every migration phase. We apply encryption in transit and at rest, implement strict IAM access controls, and conduct security reviews aligned with our SOC 2 Type II compliance posture. For regulated industries, we design AWS architectures that comply with sector-specific standards, ensuring data residency requirements and governance obligations are met throughout the migration process.
What happens after migration is complete—do you offer managed services?
Yes. Post-migration, Cygnet.One provides ongoing managed IT and infrastructure services including 24/7 monitoring, proactive patching, performance tuning, cost optimization, and compliance management. Our managed services model is particularly suited for enterprises that want to focus on business outcomes rather than day-to-day cloud operations, ensuring your AWS environment remains secure, optimized, and continuously available.
How do you handle disaster recovery in an AWS cloud environment?
Cygnet.One designs and manages AWS-based disaster recovery solutions that reduce recovery time by up to 75% and achieve sub-minute recovery point objectives. We use AWS services including AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, automated snapshots, multi-region replication, and runbook automation to ensure businesses can recover quickly from failures with minimal data exposure—critical for banking, e-commerce, and healthcare environments in India.
