  1. Cloud Migration - Everything That You Need to Know Cloud migration is basically a process of transferring data, application and various other elements of business to cloud computing ecosystem. With global spending on cloud service and infrastructure increasing exponentially, the process of cloud migration has gained momentum. In this article, we are highlighting all the important information that you need to know about this phenomenon. What are the Benefits of Cloud Migration? Following are the advantages associated with cloud migration - 1.Optimized Scalability of Computing Resources Leveraging cloud technologies allow companies to acquire computing resourced instantly without investing in additional hardware or software. Within cloud migration, a business utilizes computing resources through the internet; therefore, it can efficiently upscale or downscale the computing resourced based on their existing requirements. 2.Stronger Data Security Companies across various industries have been increasingly migrating their data (customers as well as corporates) to the cloud. It allows authorized users to access the data stored within the cloud through the internet and eliminate the need for physical machinery. Therefore, cloud migration allows companies to optimize data availability and accessibility. Moreover, cloud service providers ensure to keep the data of their clients secured by handling the issues related to security proactively as well as updating their security mechanisms on a frequent basis. 3.Mitigate the Infrastructure Complexities Cloud systems enable the business to mitigate the complexities associated with infrastructure. Businesses often need to employ their IT professionals to maintain their physical IT infrastructure. Managing IT infrastructure becomes even more challenging when the businesses have to launch a new product or expand their existing operations. Cloud migration assists companies to operate applications as well as store data in a secure digital environment. This ecosystem is administered and managed by cloud service providers, so the companies do not need to employ additional IT professionals for maintenance and upkeep tasks.

  2. 4.Better Collaboration Opportunities Cloud technologies allow companies to improve the accessibility of data and applications. Irrespective of the physical location, authorized employees can access the application via the internet. Therefore, cloud migration assists companies to operate in a working environment that is not restricted to a particular physical location. Moreover, organizations can also ensure seamless communication as well as collaboration between employees working on-site and the ones working remotely through various cloud-based tools. 5.Ameliorate the Deployment of Applications and Services Organizations invest in cloud migration in order to boost the deployment of applications and services. The services provided by cloud vendors assist companies in acquiring various computing resources to deploy applications or service in real-time. Moreover, companies do not have to deal with the hassle of purchasing servers, installing operating systems, establishing data centres, etc. 6.Contribute to Operational Efficiency Companies are provided with the option to connect the cloud-based services effortlessly with their existing systems and services. Therefore, it has become easier for companies to update and interconnect existing applications and solutions. Such extensive connectivity assists companies to boost operational efficiency and productivity. Effective Strategies of Cloud Migration Below are some effective cloud migration strategies that allow you to migrate your applications and services to the cloud - 1.Rehosting Rehosting is also known as lift and shift strategy. During the initial cloud, projects are often gravitated towards net new development by leveraging cloud-native capabilities. However, when it comes to migrating data or application on a larger scale, businesses often use rehosting. Rehosting is typically executed by automated tools; however, clients can also prefer to do it manually. 2.Replatforming

  3. In this approach, a couple of cloud optimizations are used to obtain certain tangible benefits without altering the underlying structure of the application. Companies do this to reduce the time they spend on managing database by migrating to a database-as-a-service platform. 3.Repurchasing Repurchasing typically involve moving to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. This is done to streamline the existing process and obtain higher efficiency. 4.Re-architecturing or Re-factoring In this, companies used cloud-native features to re-design how applications are developed or architected. This is leveraged by conglomerates that are looking to add features or performance to their existing working environment. 5.Retire This process involves the elimination of the applications that are no longer productive for the IT portfolio. This facilitates businesses to save money and resources. Additionally, it also allows employees to focus on applications or services that are more useful to the company. 6.Retain Within this strategy, businesses should only transfer the data or applications that are relevant to their operations. When you are shifting your portfolio from on- premise to cloud, many elements might lose their significance, and they might not be worth retaining. Each of these cloud migration strategies has its unique purposing. Selecting the right strategy entirely depends on your business needs and operations. Moreover, it is important that you take assistance from an expert who can educate you with regards to cloud migration and its techniques for better and efficient results.
