Hybrid Cloud Migration

Overcoming Challenges in Infrastructure and Migration

PUBLIC CLOUD

Experience advanced analytics, virtual reality, and machine learning. Access a wide array of services, from storage and networking to cutting-edge technologies. Elevate your business with public cloud platforms.

PRIVATE CLOUD

Enjoy automation features like architecture scripting and one-click provisioning. Deploy new capabilities and safeguard critical applications with robust security controls. Harness the power of private cloud platforms for enhanced performance and protection.

HYBRID CLOUD

Combine the benefits of public and private cloud services with ease. Achieve the perfect balance of capabilities and security. Simplify cost management and prioritize workload migration. Experience the advantages of hybrid cloud migration for your organization.

There are 3 primary variants of hybrid-cloud systems:

This topology routes the traffic through private data centers while deploying applications completely or partly in the public cloud.

This allows companies to apply internal cybersecurity controls as per their needs along with taking advantage of public cloud services.

This topology places applications in the public cloud. However, users can access them directly with the help of CSP provided cybersecurity controls that are applied by default.

The data is stored in a private cloud, and additional security controls are applied to it.

This topology places applications and data in the public cloud. However, the cybersecurity controls are applied by using third-party services. The first step for a company which cannot directly move to a public cloud solution in one go would be to shift applications from a private cloud to hybrid, by deploying the private-front topology first. The next step would be to opt for a public front topology and finally the public-cloud or clean sheet topology.

How do we help you deploy progressive cloud systems?

REHOST

Rehost is alternatively known as ‘lift and shift.’ Rehost is infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), and this strategy involves taking the existing data applications and re-deploying them on the cloud servers. This method is ideally suited for beginners who are not accustomed to a cloud environment, or for very large systems where code modifications of a significant level are not possible in a short period.

REFACTOR

Refactor is alternatively known as ‘lift, tinker, and shift”. Refactoring is about making optimisations and changes for deploying platform-as-a-service (PaaS) model on the cloud. The core architecture of the applications remains unchanged, but they use cloud-based frameworks and tools. These tools and frameworks help the application use the benefits of the cloud potential.

REVISE

Revise is an additional layer above the previous two levels. This involves making architectural and code changes to the existing system, before carrying out the actual migration process. The major objective of the revision is to optimise the application so that it can fully utilise the advantages of the cloud services. This process involves major code changes and advanced knowledge of the cloud.

REBUILD

Rebuild is similar to revise in its extensive approach but it discards the existing code base and rebuilds a new one. For example, the rebuilding process might involve moving from .NET to Java altogether.

This process is hence extremely time-consuming, and it is deployed only when a consensus is reached about the current solution not suiting the business needs.

REPLACE

Replace strategy involves directly moving to a third party and vendor-based application from an existing native application. Replace essentially creates software delivered as a service (SaaS). The existing application data is completely replaced with a third-party application. Everything else will be new. In conclusion, we help you discuss the perfect strategy for your organisation depending on your business needs. The strategy you choose can be the same for all applications of your company, or it can be different for different applications. There might also be cases when you need to adopt a combination of on-premise and cloud-based solutions.

If someone asks me what cloud computing is, I try not to get bogged down with definitions. I tell them that, simply put, cloud computing is a better way to run your business.” – Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com
