We help you define your cloud migration strategy by understanding what motivates you and what you are hoping to achieve.

Cloud Migration

Are you thinking of moving assets to the cloud or looking to augment your systems with cloud-based solutions?

  • What is your motivation? Are you hoping to achieve cost savings, increase agility?
  • Hardware refresh cycle coming up, looking for other options?
  • Are you looking to attract new talent by introducing cloud into your stack?
  • Do you have a monolith you are thinking of decomposing and moving into the cloud, in part or wholly?
  • Do you have the right talent in-house and do you have training available for your teams?
  • Are you looking at cloud providers as infrastructure providers or as framework offerings?

We find that having the right motivation and expectation is key when looking to move into a cloud. Cloud migration is not a silver bullet. Any problems you have on-premise will follow you into the cloud, and having the right strategy will avoid having unmet expectations.

We help you define your cloud migration strategy by understanding what motivates you and what you are hoping to achieve. We answer your questions, look for solutions for your specific requirements, and help with the migration execution.

The true value of running your solutions in the cloud is realized when your look at the cloud providers and their offerings as frameworks, rather than data centers. You buy compute, storage, databases, etc and you pay for their use. The cloud provider manages the upkeep (patching, provisioning, configuration, security hardening, availability, etc) so you can focus on product delivery.

While some cloud solutions may appear more costly than their on-premise counterparts, there are often operational and soft costs savings to be realized with the cloud offering. We can help you understands the total cost of ownership of services in the cloud, both short and long term, and help you estimate the costs and effort associated with the migration.

Things we can help with

Here are some of the things we can help with to get you started on your AWS or Azure cloud migration journey

  • Select a cloud provider (or providers) that is most suitable for your needs and circumstances
  • Define the accounts structure, taking into account pre-prod, prod, bunker, and tooling accounts
  • Setup organizational accounts, define service control policies, and setup consolidated billing for your various accounts
  • Provision access to your team members based on roles and the environment (prod, pre-prod, etc)
  • Help price out, configure, and cost optimize assets such as compute, dbs, caches, api gateways, etc
  • Look at your current application topology and advise on an approach for the migration: lift-and-shift (rehost), lift-tinker-and-shift (replatform), re-factor, retire or retain (revisit).
  • Look at opportunities to use serverless and other managed services
  • Provide guidance on centralized logging
  • Help define policies and processes surrounding the use and archival of PII and other sensitive data
