Bigger the Company, Bigger the Challenge

In a world that is drastically shifting to cloud, maintaining traditional data centers is difficult. On the other hand, cloud computing is rapidly becoming a go-to option, offering greater flexibility as well as enhanced disaster recovery options and the potential to save overall cost. These benefits are especially attractive for companies that are ahead of the curve in new technologies. But moving an enterprise of this size to the cloud is a complex move that requires careful planning and execution to ensure a successful transition.

Data Center Migration to Cloud

Before you get started, it's important to ask yourself these key questions:

1. Who should be your cloud solutions partner?

Usually, leaders in cloud space like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure are a go-to option. They keep innovating their technologies, which help the migration of systems to the cloud with minimal management complexity.

2. What is the scope of data center migration to cloud?

You have a few options as you move to the cloud. You can migrate your entire data center and free up your IT team for exciting new projects, or you can start with just a few systems, so you have the best of both worlds: you get the benefits of the cloud and the familiarity of your existing setup. And this step-by-step approach doesn't lock you out from migrating even more systems down the line.

3. Which systems will benefit most from moving to the cloud first?

Majority of the companies go for a phased approach toward cloud migration, migrating part of their data center over time. For instance, some begin with email and messaging (often having built-in cloud options) while others focus on systems where the hardware is outdated and needs to be replaced anyway.

4. How can a migrating partner help?

No matter what you choose, having an experienced migration partner helps you a lot. Your right partner will guide you through every step-from objective assessment of your current systems and selection of the best cloud platform up to creating a solid plan and then executing the move effectively using the latest tools and techniques. This partnership ensures that this transition is smooth and creates minimal disruption to your everyday operations.
