Cloud Migration Assessment

Cloud Assessment and Migration Roadmap

Businesses have various motivations for transitioning to the cloud, with the main one being the desire for a competitive edge. However, figuring out how and where to achieve that advantage without disrupting operations or straining your budget can be challenging. Given the complexity and layering of modern infrastructures, it might be essential to cloud-enable specific interdependent components to reach your cloud objectives. Additionally, a targeted approach may help address certain perceived obstacles. Ultimately, a comprehensive assessment by experts is recommended to gather the insights necessary for crafting a strong, future-proof cloud strategy and roadmap. 

CETC Migration Assessment 

A cloud migration assessment involves a comprehensive evaluation of applications and services, their dependencies, security requirements, performance goals, data and network limitations, as well as the technical viability of operating specific applications and platforms in the cloud. 

• Capture and document inventory. 

• Identify the best cloud option based on your goals, costs and value-added services. 

• Define the threat and governance models 

• Identify what can move to cloud as is (rehost), what needs to be re-platformed, re-architected, refactored, modernized or transformed to optimize cloud success and, finally, what needs to be retained on premise or as is or retired. 

• Determine capacity requirements. 

• Estimate costs once in the cloud.
