Many Paths Lead to the Cloud. Which Migration Strategy Do You Choose?
We want to help you digitalise your workloads and use the cloud to your advantage. The different motivations for a cloud migration also result in different paths to the cloud. In order to make your cloud migration a success, we want to show you various approaches.
Transition
The easiest and fastest way to move workloads to the cloud is a direct transition of the existing solution using cloud resources. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), for example, plays a major role here since there is a wide range of infrastructure components to choose from. You »lift & shift« your current solution to the cloud, so to speak.
Pro:
- You can respond to urgent challenges such as a necessary provider change due to expiring contracts or even a pressing lack of resources.
Con:
- This does not directly improve workloads.
Adoption
In order to not only move workloads to the cloud, but also use the extensive service portfolio for initial improvements, it makes sense to adopt the solution. This requires more effort than a transition, but makes it possible to enrich workloads by using services in order to directly create an advantage.
Pro:
- Through minor and medium-scale optimisation measures, you can not only benefit from the advantages of IaaS, but also access cloud services such as a CDN (content delivery network) or DDoS protection.
Con:
- The potential of the cloud infrastructure is not fully realised.
Cloud Innovation
Cloud innovation allows the full potential of a cloud to be realised. Various sophisticated services from the portfolio of cloud providers support state-of-the-art software development methods (DevOps, agile development) and software architectures (microservices, serverless). They make it possible to create an agile and individual business model that is built on a technologically stable and at the same time highly flexible foundation.
Pro:
- Fully integrating all of your company's workloads into the cloud enables you to reach a new level of innovation in your company.
Con:
- The path to cloud innovation is the most comprehensive and requires a high level of migration experience.
Transition and Adoption Can Be the Beginning of Full Integration
The goal should be to gradually shift all workloads into an agile process at the technological and business level. To fully embrace this, we recommend using managed cloud services.
