Infrastructure and application discovery
Create an inventory of physical and virtual servers, operating systems, databases, applications, storage, network paths, integrations, owners and service criticality.
Cloud migration and modernisation · Nigeria
Move to the cloud with control, clarity and confidence.
Cloud migration is an engineering programme, not simply a server copy. Linx Networks helps organisations assess existing infrastructure, map dependencies, select migration strategies, build target environments and move workloads through controlled migration waves.

What this service covers
Detailed technical capabilities, design considerations and delivery components for organisations across Nigeria, including businesses in Lagos, Abuja and other commercial centres, planning, building or improving their cloud environment.
Cloud readiness and dependency mapping
Identify application dependencies, unsupported components, performance constraints, licensing considerations, data sensitivity and workload suitability.
Migration strategy selection
Evaluate rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retain and retire options. Select the approach that balances business value, risk, time and long-term operating cost.
Target cloud architecture
Design the landing zone, identity, network, security, compute, data services, backup, monitoring and governance required by the destination environment.
Migration execution and validation
Plan replication, pilot workloads, migration waves, maintenance windows, cutover checks, application testing, data validation and rollback criteria.
Post-migration optimisation
Review resource sizing, performance, security posture, cost allocation, operational ownership and documentation after workloads are running in the cloud.
Architecture blueprint
Cloud migration lifecycle from discovery to optimisation
Existing infrastructure is discovered and assessed, then workloads are mapped to a target cloud architecture, migrated in waves, validated and optimised. The diagram is illustrative and intended to explain the major control and infrastructure layers. Detailed designs are tailored to each environment.
Architecture decisions should account for service availability, regional support, data sensitivity, identity boundaries, network paths, operational ownership and total cost.
From technical discovery to operational value
A structured delivery approach creates visibility into scope, dependencies, acceptance criteria and operational handover.
Discover and inventory
Map requirements and current-state constraints.
Assess dependencies
Select the architecture and controls.
Architect destination
Implement in controlled stages and validate.
Pilot and migrate
Operate, measure and continuously improve.
Designed for Nigerian enterprises
Cloud engineering with business context.
We consider existing infrastructure, office connectivity, user locations, business-critical applications, data protection requirements, licensing and support arrangements. Our goal is to recommend a cloud design that is technically appropriate and operationally sustainable.
Linx Networks Ltd operates from Abuja and Lagos and supports enterprise IT infrastructure requirements across Nigeria.
Local engagement
Technical discovery and project coordination for organisations operating in Nigeria.
Security-led design
Identity, network, data protection and operational controls considered from the start.
Hybrid readiness
Connect cloud workloads with existing networks, data centres and enterprise systems.
Lifecycle thinking
Plan for deployment, support, optimisation, recovery and future growth.
Explore the wider cloud ecosystem
Cloud architecture is interconnected. Explore related capabilities and supporting service pages.
Questions about cloud migration and modernisation
Will migration require downtime?
Downtime depends on workload architecture, data volume, replication options, application design and cutover approach. The migration plan should state expected interruption and rollback criteria.
Can legacy applications be migrated?
Some can be rehosted, while others may need replatforming, refactoring, replacement or retention. Assessment determines the practical path.
How do you protect data during migration?
Controls may include backups, replication, checksums or application-level validation, test migrations, controlled cutover and post-migration reconciliation.
Do you migrate to both AWS and Azure?
Yes. The destination is selected based on workload fit, existing technology, security, licensing, integration, regional availability and cost.
