Application Migration Services
Migrate Your Critical Applications to AWS with Tailored Solutions Built for Your Requirements
Qalius specializes in custom application installations on AWS to address the unique requirements of the application’s components, its data, and your compliance needs. Unlike migrations that replicate on-premise configurations, Qalius installs your application in a bespoke configuration and provides extensive documentation to address all your stakeholders’ expectations.
Expert-Led Migration Services for Your Critical Applications
When your applications can’t afford downtime or compromise, Qalius delivers migration solutions that prioritize performance, security, and scalability.
As AWS application migration experts, we work closely with your team to understand your unique requirements and design a tailored configuration of AWS accounts and services, ensuring your critical applications run at their best while safeguarding sensitive data.
Experience Enhanced Performance
Get AWS architecture optimized specifically for your application’s performance needs. Whether you need sub-second response times for high-speed trading or auto-scaling that handles sudden traffic surges, Qalius will ensure that your application will perform at its peak when it matters most.
Lower Risk
The Qalius application migration project plan includes collaborative architecture planning to meet your application’s unique requirements, followed by implementation with reproducible, auditable infrastructure-as-code. The whole project is orchestrated to eliminate late-stage surprises, so your application will accept production traffic in AWS on schedule.
Deploy Advanced Cloud Services
Access frontier AWS services such as data analytics, AI and LLMs, and event-driven feature extensions that become available when your application is installed to take advantage of cloud-native architectures. Transform your application from basic cloud hosting to a platform that can grow with emerging opportunities.
Achieve Compliance
Qalius has a library of architectural templates implemented in infrastructure-as-code that express the requirements for compliance with PHIPA, and other laws. The customizations for your application are implemented using these templates to accelerate the deployment of compliant solutions and reduce overall project costs.
Adopt AWS Best Practices
As AWS-certified cloud migration service providers, the Qalius team has verified knowledge of the AWS Well-Architected Framework to ensure that your application is deployed to AWS according to AWS and industry best practices.
“It was clear from the beginning that Qalius had the experience to support our project and configure our environment so that we had the flexibility to implement our road map. Working with Qalius felt like an extension of our team.”

AWS Application Migration for Your Industry
The Qalius approach to application migration to AWS focuses on your application’s unique requirements, including the compliance requirements appropriate for your industry.
Healthcare Services
Qalius application migration services for healthcare are suitable for applications processing personal health information (PHI) that require compliance with PHIPA and other legislation. Migration projects in the healthcare industry often start with setting up a secure landing zone. Qalius uses AWS reference architectures for compliance with the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) Cloud Medium standard, including the AWS Landing Zone Accelerator.
Financial Services
Qalius application migration services for financial services use cases are suitable for workloads that require compliance with PIPEDA legislation, and standards such as PCI-DSS or NIST 800-53. Qalius reference architectures, expressed in infrastructure-as-code, accelerate the deployment of architectures consistent with the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
Public Sector
Qalius installs applications in AWS for a wide range of public-sector use cases. Migrations projects can use foundational security when cost control is paramount, or extensive data privacy governance for workloads that contain personal identifying information (PII). For the most demanding Protected B workloads, Qalius uses the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) Cloud Medium standard as deployed by the AWS Landing Zone Accelerator.

Our Application Migration Process
Qalius focuses on what is unique about your application to design and implement a cloud migration strategy that includes an architecture on AWS that has minimal attack surface and meets performance and reliability objectives within your AWS services budget.
Understand the Application
Our application migration experts will work with your team to understand how your application delivers value, the compliance requirements, and the types of data processed and stored by the application. We will develop a comprehensive strategy for your workload migration.
Deploy a Landing Zone in AWS
For greenfield deployments or first deployments of critical workloads, Qalius will create a foundational configuration in AWS using the Landing Zone Accelerator for AWS, or a more lightweight solution from Qalius.
Configure AWS Services
We will design a networking and firewall configuration that provides cloud security for your specific application and data.
Document the Environment
Our migration specialists will create detailed architecture diagrams and documentation that show exactly how your application will operate on AWS, including security controls, data flows, and operational procedures.
Install and Modernize the Application
Qalius will work with your team to install your application while implementing AWS cloud application modernization such as autoscaling, a content delivery network, and a web application firewall.
Review and Launch
We prepare comprehensive documentation for compliance reviews, configure operational monitoring and management, establish fail-back procedures, and ensure your team is ready to operate the application in AWS.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Qalius only work with applications you’ve developed?
No. While we build custom applications, we also migrate existing applications that organizations have developed internally or acquired from other sources. Our application development background helps us understand and work with any application architecture on AWS.
Why do I need detailed documentation for my application migration?
Critical applications often require approval from security teams, privacy officers, and compliance stakeholders. Our detailed architecture diagrams and documentation help these stakeholders understand exactly how your application will operate on AWS, supporting processes like threat risk assessments and privacy impact assessments.
Can Qalius handle applications with strict compliance requirements?
Yes. We regularly work with healthcare organizations handling personal health information, financial services with PCI-DSS requirements, and public sector organizations with Protected B requirements. Our application migration approach creates architectures specifically tailored to meet these compliance standards.
What if we need to fail back to our old system after migration?
Every migration includes fail-back planning as part of the review and launch phase. We document procedures for reverting to your previous environment while resolving any unexpected issues, giving you confidence to proceed with your migration deadline.
