GCP (or AWS) Migration Assessment
Have you performed a GCP migration readiness assessment ( or an AWS migration readiness assessment) – grouping your application portfolio into the infamous 6 Rs? (Replace, Refactor, RePlatform, Rehost, Retain and Retire)?
Using Agent based discovery, we monitor your data center environment for over 4 weeks, looking at peak consumption, average consumption, bandwidth, CPU, RAM, Disk and Specialized Disk Usage.
Even the BIG ONES get this one wrong
- Working alongside the largest cloud consulting firms, we learnt that most of their groupings are amateurish, and based on a very cursory surface level understanding of each application.
- None of the big firms take the time to do a deep dive into each application tier, as is required before a successful cloud migration.
- By far, we are the only company that does a deep dive with your app owners to understand what needs to be fixed or upgraded or replaced before moving an application to the cloud.
- Using Agent based discovery, we monitor your data center environment for over 4 weeks, looking at peak consumption, average consumption, bandwidth, CPU, RAM, Disk and Specialized Disk Usage.
- Apart from understanding which applications to migrate, we also try to understand what NOT to migrate:
What NOT to Migrate
- Packaged or SaaS applications
- Apps with tight coupling to hardware or legacy OS
- Apps which are fixed in scope – no business drivers that lead to upgrades or changes
- Apps without a clear business value
- Overly simple Apps (e.g. a sample wordpress blog)
- Overly Complex Apps (e.g. a complex data ecosystem)
