Cloud Migration and Modernization

A cloud migration seems impossible until it’s done! Having a partner that’s “been there and done that” will accelerate both your confidence and timeline.

Cloud migration requires the right skills, methods and tools as well as the understanding that it’s not just about the migration, but about enabling your business to maximize the benefits of operating in the cloud. As a premier Cloud migration partner, we bridge the gap between current and future states. Even if your organization has existing cloud operational skills, the migration process can be daunting. The unknowns and questions abound.

Contemplate

How do I create a business case and strategy to demonstrate to the organization’s leadership?
What will be the total cost of ownership of the new cloud environment compared to on premises?
Can my workloads be modernized into lower cost services?
Can I use my existing licenses in the cloud?
Which applications and resources can/should be moved, and what application resources are grouped together?
What is the most appropriate migration methodology and how will the data be transferred?
How do I maintain an equivalent security posture?
Will my team be able to support the new environment?

There is an incredible range of challenges faced during this process. An experienced partner can perform the necessary investigation and planning to gain a high confidence of success. At Ollion, our expert cloud team's top priority is a seamless migration to maximize the benefits of moving to the cloud by bringing value to you and your customers.

Migration Process Challenges

Moving existing data and mission-critical workloads to the cloud is essential to meeting modern business expectations. But there’s more to it than simply provisioning servers in the Cloud. Ollion has been part of some of the largest migrations in the world. Whether it’s 100 servers or 10,000 servers, the Ollion process enables success and we speak from experience when we say that when done right, a cloud migration can be methodical, smooth and endure little downtime. Some of the primary challenges include:

Maintaining security and compliance posture
Ensuring application compatibility
Managing costs on an ongoing basis
Assessing and eliminating operational skill gaps
Proper design of Cloud foundational architecture
Enabling solutions with little downtime and ensuring business continuity
Verifying acceptable performance and latency requirements
