Cloud Migration

Standing behind business decisions for cloud migration are the technical staff that have to plan and execute the move. For a company that has already fully virtualized their applications as well as completed both vertical and horizontal decoupling to API level interfaces, a cloud migration will not be difficult. For the rest of us, moving our workloads to the cloud requires a carefully crafted strategy that considers the many various technological and security challenges in getting from here to there. Generally, the focus of cloud migration planning is not about getting to the cloud. Rather, the primary consideration of a cloud migration assessment should be hosting your applications and data in the most effective IT environment possible – based on your operational needs such as performance, security, availability, sustainment, and costs.
