Cloud Migration
Elevating your business to the cloud
Streamline your cloud migration journey
Migrating an organization's workloads, data, and applications to the cloud requires a significant amount of planning and coordination. There can be a lot of moving parts to consider and manage, such as assessing current infrastructure and applications, re-architecting them to run in the cloud, migrating data, and testing everything to ensure it works as expected. It can also be challenging to ensure that all stakeholders are on board and that the migration stays on track. Additionally, as the cloud technology is constantly changing and updating, it can be difficult to keep up with the latest best practices and technologies which can make the migration difficult.
The 6 R's for Modernization
Rehost
Also known as "lift and shift," this involves moving an existing application or workload to a new environment without making any changes to the application itself.
Refactor
Refactor: This involves making changes to an application to make it more suitable for the new environment.
Rebuild
This involves completely rebuilding an application to take advantage of new features or capabilities in the new environment.
Replace
This involves replacing an existing application with a new one that is better suited to the new environment
Retire
This involves retiring an application or workload that is no longer needed or that cannot be migrated.
Retain
This involves keeping an application or workload in its current environment, either because it is too complex or costly to migrate or because it is not a good fit for the new environment.
Portfolio Assessments
We leverage a suite of tools for the evaluation of an organization's existing applications, workloads, and infrastructure to determine their suitability for migration to the cloud. The goal of a portfolio assessment is to identify which applications and workloads can be easily migrated to the cloud, which ones need to be refactored or rebuilt, and which ones should be retired.
1. Inventory
Inventory: This step involves creating an inventory of all existing applications, workloads, and infrastructure. This includes identifying the application's purpose, the technologies used, the number of users, the size of data, dependencies, and constraints.
2. Classification
This step involves classifying the applications and workloads based on their characteristics and suitability for migration to the cloud. Applications and workloads can be classified into different categories such as "cloud-ready," "cloud-enabled," or "cloud-optimized."
3. Analysis
This step involves analyzing the applications and workloads to determine their readiness for migration, including assessing their technical and business requirements.
4. Recommendations
This step involves providing recommendations on how to proceed with the migration, which can include rehosting, refactoring, rebuilding, replacing, or retiring the applications and workloads.
5. Cost Benefit Analysis
This step involves forecasting the cost savings and returns on investment (ROI) that can be achieved by migrating the applications and workloads to the cloud.
What about the cost?
We provide complimentary assessments for a portion of your applications (up to 10) to demonstrate the value to your organization. We have access to a variety of funding mechanisms from CSP's in order to provide this complimentary service.
