Cloud Migration Process

The steps or processes an enterprise follows during a cloud migration vary based on factors such as the type of migration it wants to perform and the specific resources it wants to move. That said, common elements of a cloud migration strategy include evaluating performance and security requirements, choosing a cloud provider, calculating costs and making any necessary organizational changes.

Common challenges an enterprise faces during a cloud migration include interoperability, data and application portability, data integrity and security, and business continuity. Without proper planning, a migration could negatively affect workload performance and lead to higher IT costs - thereby negating some of the main benefits of cloud computing.

Custom Application Migration

Businesses who have in-house or custom developed applications might be looking at re-platforming or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). Most businesses can significantly reduce the costs and complexity of a custom application while enhancing capabilities by leveraging PaaS. While this requires significant upfront effort to evaluate the existing application(s), design, and thorough testing, the pay-off can be significant.
