    A badge showcasing our AWS Migration Competency

    We help you with everything from assessments to migrations and application modernization, and we understand that your business is unique and requires an equally unique strategy.

    Beyond unlocking the inherent cloud benefits, as are detailed below, we will help you look beyond the initial migration project. This may include cloud-native development, application modernization, DevOps expertise, and/or AI-ML to unlock new insight and move to the next level.

    However, a cloud migration requires careful analysis, planning, and execution to ensure that your cloud solution is meeting requirements and deriving maximum value. To achieve this, we work with all of the major cloud providers, and particularly AWS, to provide the required expertise and support for your digital transformation journey.

    How to Migrate to the Cloud?  

    There are several ways to successfully migrate to the cloud and no specific way of doing it. The preferred method and the overall effort required depends highly on the application that you want to migrate and your requirements. Yet, when considering your strategy, it is important to remember that it is not just about migrating to the cloud, but also what you do when you get there.

    Rehosting/Lift & Shift

    Taking the application from the on-premise datacenter and migrating it into the cloud without making any changes. Often the preferred starting point for large-scale migrations.

    Re-platforming

    Similar to the lift & shift, but some optimization is made to the application, operating system, APIs, etc. during the migration to take immediate advantage of the cloud benefits.

    Refactoring

    Completely re-engineering your application from scratch to make it fully cloud-native. A lenghtier migration, but it is particularly useful for custom-built applications.

    Relocating

    Specific to VMware, you can migrate applications virtualized on vSphere to the cloud in just days, essentially creating a virtual copy of your datacenter in the cloud to maintain consistent operations.

    Repurchasing

    Moving to a new version of your software or purchasing an entirely new solution, for example to achieve a new software licensing model providing more flexibility to meet your needs.

    Retaining

    Some applications may require too much refactoring to be ready to migrate, or perhaps latency requirements and compliance or regulatory constraints make them best kept on-premises.

    Retiring

    As you migrate to the cloud, you may find that some applications are not needed anymore, or that some critical functions can be embedded in more effectively with your migrated application.

    Leveraging the Hybrid Cloud  

    Software can be made available in the cloud through three cloud deployment models, which determine who can access the data and in which ways. Each model has its advantages and disadvantages in relation to performance, cost-effectiveness, security practices, and reliability. Based on your use-cases and needs, we will find the best fit, but most often the preferred model is the hybrid cloud.

    Public Cloud

    Making digital assets publicly available, either for free or through subscription model (think SaaS, PaaS, etc.).

    Private Cloud

    Serving a single entity and requiring authorized access for users. Also referred to as the “corporate cloud”.

    Hybrid Cloud

    A mixture of on-premise, public, and private cloud. Allows you to move incrementally towards cloud nativity at your own pace.

    Our approach to migrating applications to the hybrid cloud is typically based on the following steps:

    Database Cloud
    LIFT & SHIFT

    Provisioning and porting the application from the data center/on-premise servers to the public cloud. More infrastructure focused.

    Security-Cloud
    STABILIZE & OPTIMIZE

    Stabilizing and optimizing resources by gaining visibility and actively monitoring existing resources to make small tweaks in the application.

    Website
    TEMPLATE & ADOPT

    Replacing application building blocks with custom servers or cloud core services, so the application starts realizing the benefits of the cloud.

    Modernize
    MODERNIZE

    Adopting the latest application architecture trends (such as containers, microservices, or data architecture solutions) to modernize the application without large rewrite investments.

    How We Help

    An Example
    • Lift and Shift applications (e.g. Regional and local applications, Citrix, custom applications, etc.) to AWS.
    • Optimize on-premise and cloud data strategy and data architecture.
    • Enhance applications with Cloud benefits including High Availability, Resiliency and scalability.
    • Replatform/rearchitect applications to purpose fit in the cloud.
    • Convert legacy applications to containerized applications or serverless applications or both.
    • Build smart cloud native business applications around core applications (which can be on-premise or in the cloud).
    • Leverage cloud services and technological advancements, alongside next-gen managed services which will dramatically reduce the maintenance overhead.
