FAQ

Cloud migration questions answered.

QWhat is cloud migration for Saudi enterprises?
Cloud migration moves enterprise applications, databases and infrastructure from on-premises servers to cloud platforms — AWS Saudi Region (me-south-1), Azure UAE North, or hybrid architectures. Crux manages the full migration lifecycle with NDMO compliance and zero business disruption.
QHow long does cloud migration take in Saudi Arabia?
A standard infrastructure migration takes 8-16 weeks. Complex enterprise application migrations can take 6-9 months. Crux uses a phased approach — migrating non-critical workloads first and using parallel-run validation before production cutover.
QDoes cloud migration comply with Saudi NDMO requirements?
Yes. Crux designs all migrations to NDMO standards — deploying to AWS Saudi Region (me-south-1) or Azure UAE North. All sensitive government and regulated financial data remains within approved Saudi and UAE jurisdictions.
QWhat cloud platforms does Crux migrate Saudi enterprises to?
Crux migrates to AWS Saudi Region, Microsoft Azure UAE North, Google Cloud, and hybrid multi-cloud architectures. Platform selection is driven by workload requirements, NDMO data residency needs, and existing enterprise licensing agreements.
