Migration & Integration to Azure Cloud with Strategy

Migration to Azure's cloud environment is increasingly becoming prevalent and will boost business performance. Digital transformation enhances technological development in today's world by giving businesses incredible growth opportunities, operational agility, and increased profit.

IP Systems Solutions provides a customized and comprehensive cloud migration strategy to meet your goals, scheduled deadlines, and built in advocacy for upcoming changes should they occur. Strategic planning is one of the most important steps for Azure cloud migration.

Then, the migration itself involves more than just moving data from one place to another with the re-installation of software. IP Systems Solutions provides additional and appropriate applications, adjustments, and verifications to your existing environment. Profound testing is the key for migration.

Our cloud Migration & Modernization Action Plan

Migration starts with strategy, client planning, and identifying business goals.

What is driving the move to the cloud? Businesses requiring faster time to market, lowering costs, or the ability to quickly scale web applications and infrastructure. Reach out to key stakeholders on both sides of IT and business.

We establish objectives and prioritize assessments for the migration; determine the sequence for migration and modernization. We create personalized business cases for a particular migration and plan for migration-related costs, and estimate potential savings.

Cloud migration types

The types chosen to migrate should be in line with your your needs and budget. Consider mixing these cloud migration strategies to give you the biggest value. You may even apply various strategies to different elements of your environment.

Re-hosting

This type is known as "lift and shift". This strategy "lifts" everything from your existing on-premises environment and "shifts" it to the cloud. As this type of migration is straightforward and doesn't require many architectural changes, it does not take full advantage of the cloud infrastructure and is often ineffective.

Re-platforming

This type can be called Re-hosting plus Optimization. As the process of migration takes place, IP Systems Solutions will optimize your applications and other assets to fit the new infrastructure.

Re-architecting

Various aging applications aren't compatible with cloud providers. This incompatibility is because of the architectural decisions that were made when the application was built. In these cases, the application may need to be rearchitected before a transformation. In other cases, applications that are cloud-compatible, but not cloud-native, might create cost and operational efficiencies by rearchitecting the solution into a cloud-native application.

Re-factoring

Platform as a service (PaaS) options can reduce the operational costs that are associated with many applications. It's a good idea to slightly refactor an application to fit a PaaS-based model.

Re-build

In some scenarios, the delta that must be overcome to carry an application forward can be too large to justify further investment. This issue is especially true for applications that previously met the needs of a business but are now unsupported with the current business processes. To resolve the issue, create a new code base to align with a cloud-native approach.

Replace

Solutions are typically implemented by using the best technology and approach available at the time. Sometimes software as a service (SaaS) applications can provide all the necessary functionality for the hosted application. In these scenarios, a workload can be scheduled for future replacement, effectively removing it from the transformation effort.

Retire

Occasionally, some resources of an environment can appear as unused or unnecessary. This may lead to a decision to offload or switch them off.



Cloud migration strategy and stages

To make the most out of a cloud migration, you must choose and adjust a coherent strategy to understand which profits are most important to you and how to make it work in your favor.

Analysis

Thorough assessment of an existing environment and determining the goals.

Planning

Choosing the cloud migration strategy and planning what needs to be done based on both environments.

Azure Architecture

Building a cloud environment with strong policies.

Migration

Backup on-premise environment and copy resources to the cloud.

Optimization and data integrity

Adjusting all resources to gain the maximum benefit at a minimal cost; running algorithms for data integrity and performance.

Security-Monitoring-Maintenance

Verify the cloud environment is “breach-resistant”, implement monitoring solutions, and keep all training procedures in place.



Proper analysis and planning can save client's money and time spent otherwise spent on dealing with obstacles that could easily be predicted.
