How the migration works

1
Assess your setup

We review what you run on Rackspace, your contract timeline, and what has to move.

2
Plan the migration

We write the runbook with you, and set the cutover date inside your maintenance window.

3
Move your workloads

Our engineers run the cutover on the date your team approved.

4
Manage after the move

Your account manager stays with you, with 24/7 engineering support behind them.

Why Nexcess?

Your Windows and SQL workloads move with no forced re-architecture. The cutover includes a rollback plan, and your team signs off before anything moves.

We monitor your servers around the clock and are accountable for uptime. Support is available 24/7/365, with direct emergency escalation.

cost
Transparent, predictable pricing

Your quote is itemized, including SQL and VPN licensing, with no setup fees. Your rate is locked for 36 months, and a hardware refresh won't be used to raise it.

calendar
You set the maintenance window

Patching happens inside that window, and we schedule changes with you in advance, so you always know when updates will run.

Questions?

What is Nexcess?

Nexcess provides specialty cloud solutions for companies that need control over their cloud environments. Together with our sub-brands Liquid Web and Servers.com, we serve 185,000 customers with more than 100,000 servers across the globe. 

Rackspace offered me a discount to stay. Why move?

A discount changes this year's price. It doesn't change the hardware you're running on, the support you get, or what happens at the next renewal. If the discount solves your problem, take it. 

Who runs the migration if we don't have the staff?

We scope the migration, build the plan, and run the cutover on your maintenance window. Your team approves the plan and the cutover date.

Will our Windows and SQL workloads move as-is?

Yes. We migrate Windows and SQL workloads to identical-spec servers, with no forced re-architecture. If a change would improve performance or cost, we'll recommend it, but it's your call.
