What is Cloud Migration?
Strategic Digital Transformation
It involves strategically moving business applications, data, and infrastructure from on-premises environments to cloud platforms. This transformation optimises systems to take advantage of cloud capabilities for greater agility and cost efficiency.
- Strategic planning: Assessment & roadmap development.
- App modernisation: Optimising for cloud-native performance.
- Data migration: Secure transfer with validation.
- Infrastructure: Right-sizing for performance.
- Security: Cloud best practices implementation.
- Ongoing optimisation: Continuous improvement.
Migration Benefits
Cost Reduction
Eliminate hardware maintenance costs, reduce energy consumption, and convert capital expenses to operational expenses.
Enhanced Scalability
Automatically scale resources based on demand, handle traffic spikes, and support growth without constraints.
Business Agility
Faster deployment of new services, rapid scaling for market opportunities, and improved response to business needs.
Security
Comprehensive security architecture including identity management, encryption, and automated threat detection.
