Move your data to
the cloud, securely.

What is cloud data migration, and why now?

Cloud data migration is the transfer of the workloads in your server room or rented racks (virtual machines, databases, file servers, applications) to a professional data center services infrastructure, where they are run under a managed cloud model. The goal is not just to change location: it is to get away from hardware refresh cycles, outage risk and night-time on-call duty, and move to a predictable monthly cost.

There are three signs that the timing is critical. The first is hardware age: if your servers are 4-5 years old, the coming refresh investment equals years of a cloud subscription, and the risk of failure grows every month. The second is regulatory pressure: KVKK (Türkiye's personal data protection law), BDDK (Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency) rules and healthcare legislation require you to document where data is and how it is protected, which is not possible in a server room with no air conditioning. The third is business continuity: any single-site infrastructure in an earthquake zone is a single point of failure. A cloud migration solves all three problems in one project.

DataKobi has provided cloud services in Türkiye since 2014; today, the production workloads of more than 200 organizations run in our Ankara (ESB-DC1) and Istanbul (IST-DC2) data centers. From production lines to hospital image archives, from holding company ERPs to e-commerce platforms, we have completed hundreds of migration projects without downtime. The simulation above is not a metaphor but a visualization of our actual methodology: each sector's data flows through its own encrypted tunnel, using its own protocol.

How is your data protected during the migration?

The most sensitive moment of a migration is when data is in transit between two facilities. That is why there is no compromise at the transfer layer: each sector's traffic flows inside its own IPSec tunnel, encrypted with AES-256; key exchange uses modern standards (IKEv2), and the data is never opened at any intermediate point. Every transferred block is compared against the checksum at the source: data we call "migrated" is data verified at the bit level.

Protection continues on the target side: at-rest disk encryption, network segmentation, daily backups and animmutable copy against ransomware are in place from day one. Who accessed our systems during the migration, when, and which data they touched is logged, and these logs go into your KVKK audit file. If you wish, before the final cutover we can carry out an on-site verification together with your security team or your independent auditor.

Why DataKobi data center services?

Choosing a data center is a ten-year decision and should be judged on four criteria. Physical infrastructure: our facilities are built to Uptime Institute Tier III design principles, with 2N power redundancy, N+1 cooling, fire suppression and 24/7 physical security. Geographic redundancy: our Ankara and Istanbul locations are connected by a private fiber backbone, and your disaster recovery scenario is set up under the same contract. Regulation: we are ISO 27001 certified, we commit to KVKK requirements by contract, and on-site audits are standard for customers subject to regulation. People: on the support line you reach not a call center reading from scripts but engineers who know your systems; the first-response target for critical requests is 15 minutes.

On the cost side, the arithmetic is transparent: a fixed monthly price in TL, zero fees on data egress, no exchange-rate surprises. In the discovery report, we put your current hardware depreciation, licensing, energy, cooling and staff costs side by side with the cloud subscription; for customers who have moved to the cloud, a first-year total cost of ownership saving of 35-45% has typically been measured. The decision is yours; we simply put the numbers on the table.
