How to Successfully Migrate to Cloud
Organizations report improved flexibility after moving to the cloud1
Cloud migration is challenging. Projects can overrun the budgets by up to 50%2
Benefits of moving to the cloud:
Reduced
Capex
Saved
Costs
Better
Security
Infrastructure
Flexibility
Faster Disaster
Recovery
Competitiveness
How does a strategic roadmap to cloud transform your business? Let’s explore
A proven, six-step roadmap to the cloud
1 Migrate Backups to the Cloud:
The main reasons for migrating backups to the cloud are that it reduces risk, optimizes data archival processes, and allows organizations to test the cloud without disrupting critical services. The benefits of this migration include cost savings and improved backup management.

2 Create or Migrate DR Environments:
The main reason to create or migrate disaster recovery (DR) environments to the cloud is to align the cost of DR with recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs). This also allows for cost savings by using a non-differentiating service. The benefits of this include cost savings of up to 60% compared to traditional DR solutions and faster recovery times for improved business continuity.

3 Migrate Non-Production Environments:
The main reasons for migrating non-production environments to the cloud are to ease the transition of production environments, to assess the viability of migrating production workloads, and to associate with lower risk than production workloads. The benefits of this migration include cost savings through smarter usage management and improved operations with scalability and speed.

4 Migrate Production Environments:
The main reason to migrate production environments to the cloud is to realize the key value proposition of the cloud and to become cloud-native. The benefits of this migration include the ability to operationalize continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) paradigms and speed up deployments, cost savings by using the right services for your use case and reducing capital expenditure (capex) spend to zero.

5 Adopt your Infrastructure Toolset for the Cloud:
The main reason to adopt a cloud-first infrastructure toolset is to ensure the security, reliability, and maintainability of cloud environments. The benefits of this include the elimination of licensing and software lifecycle management overhead and the ability to pay for usage.

6 Consider a Single Pane of Glass Management Platform:
The main reason to consider a single pane of glass management platform is to prevent vendor lock-in by using multiple cloud services and to realize the cost benefits of a multi-cloud approach while supporting hybrid cloud use cases. The benefits of this include the ability to ease hybrid and multicloud management challenges, make better decisions, and prevent the accumulation of "dark IT."
