As time changes so do we. Maximum optimisation and efficiency is the key to absolute productivity. Upgrading the technologies we work with is a major part of said optimisation. Most companies have migrated to cloud computing services to make the workload less taxing, while many are on their way. Microsoft Azure provides the best from being user friendly to allowing third-party software and systems. But what are the steps to ensure a smooth migration? How do you optimize the migration process?
Why choose Microsoft Azure?
Choosing the right solutions for your data storage is the first and foremost essential. Microsoft Azure bags a lot of services under its belt to give you the best of all. Services such as Storage allow for the storage of your data whether frequently or infrequently accessed in an efficient, cost-effective manner, Application Services let you manage the production, and deployment of your applications easily saving time and money, and Azure Active Directory Domain Services is another highlight that lets you move and migrate easily whilst managing policies and authentication etc. Services aside, Microsoft Azure remains one of the most preferred options in comparison to rivalling cloud solutions giants such as Amazon Web Services (AWB), IBM cloud computing, and iCloud etc. due to its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly, flexibility, disaster recovery, and scalability.
How to migrate to Microsoft Azure?
A comprehensive guide to migration is provided here. But to keep it short and clear,
- Define your strategy according to your priorities and consulting the right team of people to makes the most out of your migration process.
- Plan your migration by completing an assessment on your utilities and calculating the cost of the migration with respect to your current system.
How to accelerate Azure migration?
To make the most of your time, money, and energy knowing the right tools to accelerate your migration process is vital. To maximise in an already existing Azure system is much more complex and thus more time-consuming. Planning is the key. So, here are a few pointers to make a note of,
- The involvement of the stakeholders is the first step. Discussing the right plan to go about with the involved stakeholders helps in the assessment of the current system and getting the right guidance to go forth with the process.
- Planning and infrastructure are the next concerns that one needs to keep in mind. Knowing where to start can be a great advantage but the dispersed infrastructure such as data and applications can make it difficult. Unifying the infrastructure with the right help can help in progressing further.
- The completion of these prerequisites calls for the last step; design. Design entails what you’d like your infrastructure to look like on Azure and based on that what steps you’d take to achieve it.
