IT Infrastructure

Our cloud migration strategy focuses on a business-oriented approach, meaning that decisions on architecture, protection, observability, security, cost management, and automation are based on the Client’s specific needs, rather than following a generic or technology-only approach.

Key Service Features:

• Identification of Workloads: To begin the migration process, it is essential to identify the workloads the Client wishes to incorporate into the migration pipeline. By having a clear view of these workloads, we can design and plan the migration process effectively. This strategic approach allows us to address the Client’s specific needs and provide custom solutions for each workload, ensuring the migration process is as efficient and effective as possible.

• Assessment of Migration Feasibility: Conducting a comprehensive assessment of factors that could impede or create doubts about the feasibility of migrating a workload to the cloud is crucial. These factors include:
• Hardware or software limitations: If the workload requires specific hardware or software not available in the cloud or incompatible with considered cloud providers, migration might be difficult or impossible.
• Legacy system dependencies: If the workload is closely integrated with legacy systems incompatible with the cloud, migration might require a significant investment to rewrite or replace these systems.
• Regulatory or compliance requirements: In some cases, regulatory or compliance requirements may prevent certain workloads from moving to the cloud, such as restrictions on where workload data can be stored.
• Costs: Sometimes, the cost of migrating a workload to the cloud can outweigh the benefits, especially if the workload is not designed to be scalable.
• Performance: If the workload has high performance and latency demands, achieving the same performance level in the cloud may be challenging, particularly if it needs access to data stored locally or intensive interaction with local devices or systems.

• Migration Strategies: Based on the feasibility assessment, the following migration strategies may be considered:
• Retain: Keep the workload in its current on-premises environment.
• Lift and Shift: Quickly migrate the workload to the cloud without significant changes. Workloads migrated under this model would be monitored to identify performance improvements or enable scalability. Refactoring may be conducted if necessary.
• Replatforming: Adapt the application and architecture to fit the cloud model without changing the source code. This strategy is used when a faster migration is needed than refactoring but still allows cloud benefits.
• Repurchase: Completely replace the original application with a Software as a Service (SaaS) application that provides similar functionality. This option might be suitable for workloads with common features that do not require significant customization.
• Refactor: Modify the application’s source code to adapt it to the cloud model. This is done when it is necessary to optimize the application to leverage cloud benefits and improve its performance and scalability.

• Service Protection and Continuity: Our migration strategy is designed to ensure data protection and service continuity throughout the migration process. We are committed to applying cloud security best practices and standards to guarantee a smooth and uninterrupted migration experience. Additionally, we conduct exhaustive tests to validate and verify the security of the Cloud environment before the final migration, allowing us to identify and address any potential issues before they impact the Client’s service.

All of this translates to a secure and efficient cloud transition without compromising the security and quality of service the Client provides to their users.
