Cloud Migration
Migrate your on-premise workloads to a secure, scalable Cloud infrastructure
Migrating an existing infrastructure to a cloud environment usually involves carrying out a pilot project with a limited set of applications to limit risks and better assess the impact on the business, while conducting financial evaluations of the entire process.
Throughout each phase, efforts are made to limit the operational impact.
Successful cloud migration projects always start with a sound strategy and continue with strong technical execution.
Our team delivers the full professional services required to help you migrate any complex applications to the Cloud.
There are two main migration strategies
Lift and Shift
A lift-and-shift (also known as rehost) involves mapping and migrating the current architecture in the Cloud, with minimal or no change of the current architecture. The current infrastructure is migrated as it is, fast and secure. Applications are “lifted” from the existing environments and “shifted” as-is to a new hosting environment.
The main benefit is eliminating maintenance costs pertaining to traditional systems and applications. Since the architecture is not re-designed, this greatly decreases the time and cost of migration. However, this method will not give you the benefits of a Native Cloud Application.
PaaS Migration
A Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Migration – using dedicated Cloud platform, such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS – will give you all the benefits of a flexible, scalable architecture, with availability guaranteed by contract and with highly advanced mechanisms for data security and data recovery. In addition, it will ensure a work environment at the highest standards, as used by over 80% of the Fortune 500 companies.
