Methods and systems for datacenter migrations are disclosed. A method includes: virtualizing, by a computing device, servers in a source environment; installing, by the computing device, an isolation firewall to isolate a target environment from the source environment; installing, by the computing device, shared services in the target environment; installing, by the computing device, monitoring and management tools in the virtualized servers in the source environment; replicating, by the computing device, between the source environment and the target environment; and cutting over, by the computing device, from the source environment to the target environment by switching a route advertisement from the source datacenter to the target datacenter.
