On-Prem to Google Cloud Migration

Exit the data center and move on-premises and VMware workloads to Google Cloud, servers, VMware to GCVE, networking and storage migrated with a phased, low-risk plan. Lower TCO, no hardware refresh.

On-prem to Google Cloud migration
Quick answer

Yes, you can migrate your on-prem data center to Google Cloud. Codimite, a Google Cloud Partner, moves physical and virtual servers to Compute Engine via Migrate to Virtual Machines, lifts existing VMware estates to Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE), and re-maps networking, IAM and storage, with a phased, low-risk cutover that keeps on-prem systems live until each workload is validated.

Why migrate

Why teams move from on-prem to Google Cloud

No more hardware refresh

Exit capex-heavy data center hardware, power, cooling and floor-space; shift to elastic, pay-as-you-go capacity.

Lift VMware as-is with GCVE

Run native vSphere/NSX/vSAN on Google Cloud VMware Engine, then modernise selectively, no forced re-platform on day one.

Price-performance & discounts

Automatic sustained-use and committed-use discounts and competitive price-performance versus running and refreshing your own hardware.

Data & AI leadership

Once in Google Cloud, modernise to BigQuery and Vertex AI / Gemini.

Resilience & reach

Multi-region availability and Google's private global network without building your own DR sites.

What we migrate

What we migrate from your data center

On-prem asset Migrates to Google Cloud Notes
Physical & virtual servers Compute Engine Migrate to Virtual Machines; agent-based replication
VMware estate (vSphere/NSX/vSAN) Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) Lift native VMware with minimal change
LAN/WAN, firewalls, VLANs VPC, firewall rules, Cloud VPN / Interconnect Network topology re-mapped; hybrid connectivity during transition
Active Directory / LDAP Cloud IAM / Managed Microsoft AD Identity federated or migrated to your IdP
SAN / NAS file storage Cloud Storage / Filestore / Persistent Disk Storage Transfer Service; tiering applied
On-prem databases Cloud SQL / AlloyDB / Spanner / BigQuery Database / BigQuery Migration Service

Exact scope and the lift-and-shift vs modernise decision per workload are confirmed during assessment.

Our process

Our on-prem to Google Cloud migration process

  1. 1

    Assess

    We discover and inventory servers, VMware, network, storage and dependencies, and build a TCO comparison and exit plan.

  2. 2

    Design

    We design the Google Cloud landing zone and target, Compute Engine vs GCVE per workload, VPC, IAM, hybrid connectivity and storage.

  3. 3

    Pilot

    A representative set of workloads migrates first to validate fidelity, performance and connectivity.

  4. 4

    Migrate

    Wave-based replication and cutover of servers, VMware, data and storage, on-prem live in parallel.

  5. 5

    Validate

    Functional, performance and data-integrity checks confirm parity with source.

  6. 6

    Optimize

    Right-sizing, committed-use discounts, modernization candidates and data-center decommissioning.

FAQs

On-prem to Google Cloud migration FAQ

Can you migrate an on-prem data center to Google Cloud?

Yes, physical/virtual servers to Compute Engine via Migrate to Virtual Machines, VMware estates to GCVE, plus networking, identity and storage, with a phased cutover.

Can we keep VMware in the cloud?

Yes, Google Cloud VMware Engine runs native vSphere/NSX/vSAN, so VMware workloads lift with minimal change.

Will there be downtime?

No hard downtime for most workloads. We replicate live servers and run a pilot first; on-prem stays available until each workload is validated.

How long does it take?

Weeks for a small server estate; three to nine months for a full data center, driven by VM count and network/storage dependencies.

What does it cost?

Pricing is scoped to workload count, data volume and modernization. Start with a free assessment for a fixed quote.
