The Road to the Cloud Isn’t Always Clear

Everyone wants to “go to the cloud,” but most lack a cohesive strategy with which all business stakeholders agree. Confusion of cloud benefits, complexities of cloud migrations, and concerns about security, performance, and high availability are a few of the roadblocks that frequently show up on the journey.

Cloud Adoption Lifecycle
Strategy - Cloud Adoption Lifecycle

Strategy

We will help you develop a plan, taking a close look at your business requirements and how you define successful outcomes. In addition, we will review the technical requirements to support these business outcomes, perform an analysis of the applications and all dependencies, and summarize an evaluation of cloud readiness for the applications in scope.

Platforms - Cloud Adoption Lifecycle

Platforms

Once you’ve set your strategy and have devised a roadmap, we will help you select appropriate platform(s) for your applications (private cloud in your data center, public cloud, and/or other third-party cloud providers). We will also explore multi-cloud considerations.

Execution

Next, we will help you design and implement your solutions. We’ll begin with foundational cloud design and deployment (including networking, security, identity and access management, and all pieces needed to create a solid foundation). Once your cloud landing zone(s) are prepared, we will help you determine how to best migrate your applications, establish orchestration and automation strategies (both within clouds and across platforms), and develop a plan for Day 2 Cloud Operations.

Operations - Cloud Adoption Lifecycle

Operations

Once your workloads are running in the cloud, we can assist with ongoing management and optimization. We’ll help you develop strategies to optimize your costs and security posture. We will continuously compare your deployment to the ever-changing best practices from your cloud provider and find opportunities to further modernize your applications. Ongoing education helps ensure your team has the skillsets and tools needed for an effective cloud management strategy.
