Cloud Migration FAQ's

What is Cloud Migration?

Cloud migration is the process of moving digital business operations into the cloud. Cloud migration is sort of like a physical move, except it involves moving data, applications, and IT processes from one data center to another data center, instead of packing up and moving physical goods. Much like a move from a smaller office to a larger one, a cloud migration requires quite a lot of preparation and advance work, but usually, it ends up being worth the effort, resulting in cost savings and greater flexibility. 

Most often, "Cloud Migration" describes the move from on-premises or legacy infrastructure to the cloud. However, the term can also apply to a migration from one cloud to another cloud.

What are the benefits of Cloud Transformation?

In addition to cost savings, Cloud Transformation can also provide businesses with many other benefits:

  • Enhancing Operational Efficiency: As the world becomes increasingly virtual, the ability to access critical information from anywhere at any time has become the norm. Through the use of cloud-based systems, organizations can improve data accessibility, collaborate and communicate in realtime, and enhance analytics by eliminating silos. Additionally, the cloud allows IT personnel to focus on innovation instead of routine infrastructure maintenance.
  • Enhanced flexibility, scalability, and speed: Today's rapidly evolving marketplace requires businesses to transform and scale to stay competitive. Compared with on-premise competitors, cloud businesses can scale up almost instantly to accommodate new priorities or projects.
  • Stronger Data Security: When companies transition to the cloud, data security is a major concern. Moving data offsite may seem counterintuitive to some organizations. In contrary, cybercriminals are more likely to use attack vectors like malware and phishing emails to access your data. Through encrypted data storage in the cloud, hackers are less likely to be able to gain unauthorized access if the right processes and solutions are in place. Cloud hosting also provides multiple backups of data in case of disaster to reduce the risk of data loss or downtime.
  • Enhanced Cost Management: The final benefit of cloud transformation is that it allows businesses to reduce costs by eliminating capital expenditures associated with purchasing and maintaining physical infrastructure and by paying only for the resources that they use. This reduces both labor and maintenance requirements, which allows IT personnel to be utilized in organizational initiatives.

 

6 Types of Cloud Migration for Different Workloads?

To migrate complex IT systems, incremental steps need to be taken. The first step to developing an actionable cloud migration plan is to inventory your current systems and applications. Following that, you should identify the type of cloud migration that will be performed with each item. 

In other words, what are the types of cloud migration? Most commonly, these approaches are used:

  • rehosting (Lift and Shift)
  • re-platforming
  • repurchasing (Drop and Shop)
  • refactoring
  • retaining
  • retiring

What are Common Cloud Migration Challenges?

Cloud migrations can be complex and risky. The following are some of the biggest challenges organizations face when transitioning to the cloud. 

Lack of Strategy: Many organizations migrate to the cloud without giving their strategy enough attention or time. An end-to-end approach is required for successful cloud adoption and implementation. Different applications and datasets may require different cloud migration approaches due to different requirements and considerations. Each workload that is migrated to the cloud must have a clear business case. 

Cost Management: The majority of organizations have not set clear KPIs for understanding what they plan to spend or save after migrating to the cloud. As a result, it is difficult to determine the success of migration from an economic perspective. Furthermore, cloud environments can be dynamic and costs can change rapidly as new services are adopted and application usage increases. 

Vendor Lock-In: A common problem among cloud technology adopters is vendor lock-in. The variety of services offered by cloud providers is wide, but many of these services cannot be extended to other cloud platforms. The process of migrating workloads between clouds is complex and costly. It is difficult for organizations to switch cloud providers when their current provider does not meet their needs. 

Data Security and Compliance: Compliance and data security are major obstacles to cloud migration. Customers are responsible for securing their data and workloads when using cloud services. Cloud services providers take responsibility for securing their infrastructure. 

As a result, even though the cloud provider may offer robust security measures, it's upto your organization to make sure the measures are configured correctly and that all services and applications are protected. 

Security risks are inherent in the migration process. Configuring access controls for applications across multiple environments and transferring large quantities of sensitive data exposes you to significant risk.
