Migration to Cloud (Implementation)

Choosing Cloud Provider and Deployment Model

It is very important to analyse your current and future IT needs to find the solution that best fits your needs in terms of available services and cost.

Businesses usually need to combine different deployment models for different apps and services.

Each deployment model has its purpose:

• Public cloud – Very flexible in terms of resources, all of the systems are kept in public cloud environment.
• Private cloud – Very capital-intensive, but more efficient for certain situations. Usually good for large enterprises.
• Hybrid cloud – Best for system that need to keep critical data locally while using public resources in times of increased demand.

Cloud providers:

• Amazon AWS – Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms to individuals, companies and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis.
• Microsoft Azure – Cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centres.
• 7o enterprise cloud – Enterprise cloud solution developed and managed by our expert team. 7oEC is based on VMWare virtualization technology, it is a result of more than 20 years of experience in IT service management.

Implementation

Migration to cloud is a unique process that can take from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. This variation is based on company’s size, the number of services to be migrated and the level of compliance required by your services.
