Migration to Azure: 4-week implementation

Overview

Cloud migration is the journey of migrating applications, workloads/servers, and data from an on-premises Datacenter or from legacy infrastructure to public cloud infrastructure (Microsoft Azure). Migrating to the cloud seems to be an easy decision to take, however, it should be taken very carefully. A smooth migration requires a lot of assessment and planning, including detailed impact assessment on business processes and operations.

Why to move to Microsoft Azure?

• Pay-as-you-go model, pay only for what you use
• Enterprise grade multi-layer security across physical datacentres, infrastructure, and operations
• Microsoft Azure is equipped with many compliance certificates specific to global region & countries
• Scale up/out and down/in easily to meet the users and workload demand, more easily than on-premises infrastructure
• Enterprise grade backup and DR capabilities at very low cost
• Reduced network latency, as the services on Microsoft Azure can run near to the users

Use Cases

• Extend/migrate AD DS to Azure or go Hybrid
• Migrate your on-prem business applications (which can include custom software/application build inhouse or by providers/ISVs
• Migrate commercial ERP systems such as SAP, Navision, Business Central
• Migrate webservers and databases
• Migrate file systems (File servers, NAS,)
• Migrate Dev-test environment
• Modernise applications by adopting technologies such as serverless, containers and event driven
