Top 8 tips to master cloud migration

With the constant and rapid changes happening in industries, organizations need to adapt quickly to the changes, be flexible to customer demands, and continuously stay ahead of the competition.

Most of the organizations are considering modernizing critical applications by migrating to the cloud. Every product that comes to the market today assures speed, efficiency and cost savings, and so it becomes imperative for businesses to cope up with this to stay ahead in the competition. Introducing the new system to your existing one needs to have practical considerations like moving the critical data from one system to another, looking to improve in-house skills, etc. This white paper Eight tips for mastering migration explains in detail how successfully an organization can migrate to the cloud.

A successful migration is the outcome of a well-defined approach that streamlines and accelerates the cloud migration journey. Various cloud providers are offering open-source, cloud-based, and automated tools and services.

Using solutions like Carbonite allows you to easily migrate physical, virtual, and cloud workloads to and from any environment with minimal risk and near-zero downtime. It helps in protecting personal and business data from common forms of data loss.

This post summarizes the eight tips on mastering the cloud migration process mentioned in the above white paper.

  • Analysing Cost of Downtime–

Any kind of downtime leads to significant costs with far-reaching impact on the business. Evaluating the cost of downtime depends on various factors.  Most of the businesses fail to do this even after experiencing it. A business needs to consider the cost of the problem before considering how much the fix is going to cost.

  • Use the right migration tool –

Migration tools used by most of the public service providers are often platform-dependent, engineered for one type of migration scenario only. A good migration tool offers flexibility and durability for mission-critical systems and data subject to regulatory compliance.

  • Outline your migration process –

Planning is a crucial part of migrating to the cloud. Though you have a well-defined plan for the pre-migration process, still you may fail in the migration process due to an improper post-migration plan.

  • Organize your workloads –

With a huge number of workloads, migration may become difficult. Depending on the size of the project, it is important to organize the workloads into groups based on the criticality, difficulty, performance, and more.

  • Perform automated and continuous testing-

Testing is very important for successful migration as it helps in assessing the success and failure of the operations.

  • Hire the right service provider –

An expert service provider can help in meeting your migration needs, minimize risks of migration failures, and help in reducing the costs.

  • Long term vision –

Have a long term goal while planning for your migration journey. Invest in tools and methodologies that can help in the present as well as future projects.

  • Utilize the migration to the maximum –

While considering migration for your business, assess your business continuity plans. See to it that the migration provides optimal coverage of new as well as old systems.

These tips can help your organization to avoid the common problems and migrate successfully to the cloud. AgilizTech cloud experts can offer expert consultation and create a roadmap for all your cloud migration requirements.

5 Key Considerations for Cloud Migration

Migrating your organization’s IT workload to cloud is a crucial decision and immediately alters the way you operate the business. With the current pandemic bringing changes at an increasing pace, we are forced to make quick decisions and this has accelerated the need for cloud migration for many companies.

Cloud migration being a complex process, before the migration lot of things need to be calculated like:

  • Which cloud service providers best meet your needs?
  • How would you calculate the cost of cloud migration and operation?
  • How to ensure service continuity during and after the move?
  • What kind of security measures should be taken and how to be prepared?

 

There are several key considerations that businesses must think about while planning for cloud migration, but we will discuss 5 significant considerations that need to be considered before migrating to the cloud:

Infrastructure assessment

Your organization should assess its readiness before cloud migration and this requires few preparations like outlining cloud migration plan, training the employees on operating the cloud environment, ensuring applications and processes are compatible with cloud, and have the right security protocols in place.

Cloud workload analysis

While migrating workloads to the cloud, some may not be appropriate to move. Before migrating, you need to ensure up-to-date versions of the operating system and database. Systems that are phased out or nearing expiry will not be supported by the Cloud Service Providers.

Disaster recovery and back up policies

Organizations need to be prepared for any kind of disaster be it hardware failures, cyber-attacks, or natural calamities. Business continuity in times of disasters depends largely on the ability to replicate the systems and data. Hence, organizations need to evaluate their back up policies and ways to map them with their Cloud Service Providers.

Data security

Migrating your data and storing it in the cloud needs to be safe and secure. While data is being transitioned from one system to the other you need to ensure that it is properly secured. Organizations should coordinate with the service providers for the implementation of well-defined security policies.

Access to Cloud service

Access to the data and applications by your users will change once migrated to the cloud. Hence, at the time of the cloud migration planning phase, the user experience impact needs to be assessed and considered.

Embrace the right Cloud Migration journey for your organization

These are just a few of the important things that must be considered before you migrate to the cloud. For a successful cloud migration, an organization needs to have an elaborate cloud migration strategy and definite business goals. Cloud migration when implemented in a phased manner minimizes the impact on the existing customers of the organization.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, social distancing measures were put in place with most of the workforce being forced to work from home. As most of the organizations were not prepared for this situation, this is when cloud automation platforms helped the most.

How choosing the right cloud platform (Public, Private, or Hybrid) is essential, similarly selecting the right Cloud Service Provider is also equally important. With a competent cloud team, AgilizTech can help you in implementing the right cloud infrastructure and hosting environment ensuring benefits like flexibility, scalability, data redundancy, enhanced availability, cost efficiency among others.

 

5R Strategy for Cloud Migration

Cloud migration offers immense benefits to organizations and to name a few are scalability, cost-effectiveness, and increased performance. In this post learn about the strategy built upon 5R which can be implemented by organizations to migrate applications to the cloud.

Gartner, a highly influential information technology research company, describes 5 options for organizations migrating to the cloud. These cloud migration strategies are commonly known as the “5 R’s”.

Developing a Migration strategy

Organizations should not miss out on the opportunity to modernize considering today’s IT ecosystem.  The cloud migration strategy adopted by your organization is the vision of how to move your applications to the cloud.

Every organization has different business requirements and hence will follow a slightly different process in cloud migration. They need to decipher what is in their environment, what are the interdependencies, what is going to be easy and hard to migrate, and how they’ll migrate each application.

Organizations must have a proper plan and approach to migrate each of their application and in what order to do it. A successful strategy will maximize your value from cloud infrastructure while minimizing migration time, effort, cost, and risk.

Let us understand the 5R strategy to migrate applications to cloud:

1. Rehost

Rehost or the Lift and Shift approach. Rehosting is a process of moving your applications from on-premises to cloud environments without modification. This strategy involves minimal risk and effort. It also reduces infrastructure and operating costs. This will benefit the organization in the long-term as it will encourage a cloud-first approach for the company and develop skills within the business.

AWS VM Import/Export, Racemi are few of the tools with which rehosting can be automated.

2. Re platform

Replatform or the Lift Tinker and Shift method which involves moving the applications as it is, with a small amount of up versioning. In this strategy, few optimizations are made before migrating to the cloud, like switching from self-hosted infrastructure to managed services and switching from commercial software to open source.

You may minimize the amount of time you spend managing database instances by migrating to a database-as-a-service platform like Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), or migrating your application to a fully managed platform like Amazon Elastic Beanstalk.

3. Refactor

Refactor or rearchitect is a method of transforming non-cloud application into a cloud-native application. It calls for a complete overhaul of an application to adapt it to the cloud. Organizations looking to modify their applications and infrastructure from a monolithic architecture to a service-oriented (or server-less) architecture can use this strategy to boost agility or improve business continuity and maximize operational cost efficiency in the cloud.

4. Retire

While migrating a project to the cloud you might identify applications that are redundant and closing them down can save you on costs. The savings will ultimately enhance the business case, direct your team’s scarce attention to the things that people use, and lower the surface area you must secure.

5. Retain

When a business has highly invested in on-premise applications, or currently has active development projects, or have applications that require high performance, existing applications are working well, organizations that need to comply with strict regulations where the data is on-premise, in such conditions they should migrate when it is required too, otherwise retaining applications on-premise seems a better option.

AgilizTech cloud solution experts can offer a structured 5R migration strategy that can smoothly integrate with any kind of cloud deployment – be it public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, or multi-cloud.

A sprightly day of Christmas celebration at AgilizTech!!

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way

We welcome Christmas all the way!!

Winter season has approached and celebrations flow like the cool waves. December is the auspicious month as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Festivals like Thanks- Giving, Christmas and finally the coming of the New Year is celebrated this month.

What more than a lively and cheerful air of festivity needed to light up the spirits of our employees in celebrating Christmas.

Preparations were on to celebrate the year’s most awaited festival and all of us got together in decorating the office. The office was flamboyant with red and white colours, dazzling with lights, balloons and welcomed by the elegantly decorated Christmas tree.

The fun and frolic were live from 3 days playing the Secret Santa game. Our team members were all excited to open the colourfully wrapped gifts, and guessing the name of their Secret Santa was mind-boggling.

Then the D-day of celebration arrived and the celebration fervor was rife with everyone hovering around to collect their gifts and trying to guess their Santa.  Enthusiasm was live with some energetic games like one-minute games and more. It was a roller coaster ride to complete the games in the stipulated one-minute but was worth the effort.

christmas celebrated with games

You better watch out…

Santa Claus is coming into town!!

Santa Claus danced his way to distribute the Surprise Secret Santa gifts.

It was a pleasant moment to see the smiling faces opening their gifts and finding there Secret Santa.

To tickle the taste buds, we had cake cutting and the day ended with unforgettable memories.

Let the spirit of Christmas bring moments of joy and success and remain with you forever.

The AgilizTech team wishes all their partners and customers a very Happy Christmas and hoping to celebrate more festivities together.

AgilizTech team embraces go green initiative!

Deforestation, global warming, pollution are the buzz words today affecting the health and the society at large. Most of the products we use today impacts the environment we live in. The usage of plastic, wood, chemicals in our day to day life is causing harm directly or indirectly. What are we doing to stop this or make the society a better place to live?

At AgilizTech, we believe in the concept of I AM YOU taking care of our customer needs, working collaboratively as a team and an organisation, lastly how we can shoulder the responsibility of contributing to the society.

There are many ways today organizations are contributing to saving the environment like planting the trees, reducing carbon footprints, water conservation, using eco-friendly products, saving on energy, etc.
As an organization we want our employees to understand the importance of an eco-friendly environment and how we can be a part of contributing towards it with few green initiatives. We had a small gathering for driving the importance of protecting our environment and offered few goodies to all our employees which included pencils made out of 100% recycled paper, notepad, sharpener, mud cup for tea/coffee and tea coaster made from upcycled newspaper. Our employees were excited and took a vow to come up with more green initiatives in the future.

AgilizTech has taken various initiatives in contributing towards the betterment of the society and going forward we want our organization to take more environment-friendly initiatives that will help the company, team, our customers associated with us, future generation and world.

Around 8 million trees are cut every year to make 2500 pencils which is alarming, and this adversely affects the climate as well as the environment. By using products made of recycled products we can definitely save on the cutting down of trees. By just using pencils made out of recycled paper we can save around 30-40% of the trees every year and help in providing clean oxygen to millions of people and simultaneously make use of newspapers and upcycled papers effectively.

“Change your thoughts and you change your world.”

Let’s join hands in making our environment clean and healthy to live. Every step you take today will drive a great change tomorrow.
