Migrating from old hardware into the cloud 2021

Cloud migration is the process of moving some or all your digital workloads to the cloud. Before migrating to the cloud, you have to recognize your requirements, assess cloud solutions and options, make an inventory of your existing resources, identify the current level of skills and select an architecture for your new cloud infrastructure.There are several tried and tested approaches for migrating application workloads to the cloud.

A good cloud migration strategy requires the use of cloud migrations tools that make it easier to automate and streamline moving data from the existing storage system to the cloud. The major cloud providers have an array of such cloud migration tools available, and there are even more to choose from third-party vendors. Which is right for your data? In this post we look at some of the native cloud migration tools and others.

What are the Main Benefits of Migrating to the Cloud?

Here are some of the benefits that compel organizations to migrate resources to the public cloud:

• Scalability – cloud computing can scale to support larger workloads and more users, much more easily than on-premises infrastructure. In traditional IT environments, companies had to purchase and set up physical servers, software licenses, storage and network equipment to scale up business services.
• Cost – cloud providers take over maintenance and upgrades, companies migrating to the cloud can spend significantly less on IT operations. They can devote more resources to innovation – developing new products or improving existing products.
• Performance – migrating to the cloud can improve performance and end-user experience. Applications and websites hosted in the cloud can easily scale to serve more users or higher throughput, and can run in geographical locations near to end-users, to reduce network latency.
• Digital experience – users can access cloud services and data from anywhere, whether they are employees or customers. This contributes to digital transformation, enables an improved experience for customers, and provides employees with modern, flexible tools.

As more and more companies have already transitioned to the cloud, cloud migrations are increasingly taking place within the cloud, as companies migrate between different cloud providers (known as cloud-to-cloud migration). But for those making the initial foray to the cloud, there are a few critical considerations to be aware of.
