Why Cloud Migration Matters for Indian Businesses

For most CTOs and IT Managers, the challenges of maintaining legacy infrastructure have been downtime, cyber risks and compliance, but also very slow and unpredictable costs.

What Influences Cloud Migration Costs? 

Cloud migration costs generally depend on the strategy adopted, the complexity of the application, the amount of data to be migrated, the security of the data being migrated, the level of acceptable downtime, and the available post-migration support. For example, a lift-and-shift migration would be cheaper than a migration involving modernization of the application, automation of the DevOps, and a migration requiring no downtime, since the latter would involve more engineering effort. 

From an implementation perspective, companies should at least complete a cloud readiness assessment to determine the final migration budget. 

Our IT Solution vs. the Traditional Method 

Less critical workloads are migrated first to test backup, rollback, access, and performance processes. 

4. Production Migration 

Workloads that pose a higher business risk are migrated in controlled, monitored, and tested batches with planned outages. 

5. Optimization 

The cloud infrastructure and environment should be optimized post-migration for cost, performance, security, and availability.
