Mphasis
Mphasis hybrid cloud transformation services approach for managing workloads using Stack HCI and Azure Arc for a seamless user experience and the IT consumers can access data anywhere in the world.
Mphasis hybrid cloud transformation services approach for managing workloads using Stack HCI and Azure Arc for a seamless user experience and the IT consumers can access data anywhere in the world.
Azure Stack HCI is always up-to-date and can be installed on your choice of server hardware. Microsoft Azure Arc offers simplified management, faster app development, and consistent Azure services.
To ensure Mphasis provides a confirmed approach, Mphasis proposes a 3-week assessment using Mphasis IPs, Azure discovery solutions like Azure Migrate, and 3rd party tools. This assessment gives customers an understanding of their Current Mode of Operations (CMO) across 3 tracks – Technology and tools, Processes and people (IT Ops), and a possible roadmap for Future Mode of Operations (FMO) to Azure services.
Assessment areas –
- Review workloads running within the datacenter (DC) - servers, storage, backup and archive, network services, hosting locations
- Review the IT operating model supporting these datacenters
Phase 1: Discovery (5 to 7 Days)
- Identify the current mode of operations for process, technology, and people (IT Ops)
- Technology and Tools: Understand the technology spread and tools/ solutions using Azure discovery solutions like Azure Migrate
- Process and Tools: Understand how current IT operations are run vis-a-vis common ITIL processes and service management platform for operations
- IT operating model: Understand the current operating model
Phase 2: Assessment and roadmap (5 to 7 Days)
- Assess details from Phase 1, identify risks and impact on gaps
- Identify possible migration solutions either by using Azure Migrate (preferred) or using 3rd party tools
- Create a roadmap detailing the FMO for migrating the workloads to Azure
Azure native solutions for migration -
