With the Cloud Readiness Assessment, you’ll typically know within two weeks which applications are ready for the public cloud, which ones need to be modified first, and which ones are better off staying where they are. SUE evaluates your IT landscape, the risks, and the costs, and provides a migration roadmap for AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
Not every application belongs in the public cloud. The assessment shows, for each application, the benefits of migration, the costs involved, and the best approach.
We assess your applications, data architecture, dependencies, and security, and compare your current costs with a realistic estimate of cloud costs. At Textkernel SUE completed that analysis of systems and costs in three weeks, as the basis for migrating four data centers to AWS.
The assessment works for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The turnaround time depends on the scope, but is usually two weeks.
A migration usually runs into trouble because of something that was apparent beforehand: a forgotten dependency, a license that works differently in the cloud, or a pricing model that only makes sense with consistent usage. The assessment highlights these issues before you make a decision.
For each application, we recommend a course of action: rehost, replatform, refactor, or do not migrate. Moving an application that wasn't built for the cloud as-is (lift and shift) often results in higher costs without any real benefits.
We assess your business case, the scope of the migration, your skills and Cloud Center of Excellence, your landing zone, your application portfolio, your operating model, and your security and compliance requirements. We do this in five steps.
01
We map out your infrastructure, applications, data architecture, and dependencies, and assess your security and compliance posture.
02
We compare the current situation with the requirements of the target environment and identify the risks specific to your landscape.
03
For each application, we select a path and map out the migration on a timeline with milestones. This includes a cost comparison between your current environment and the cloud.
04
We describe the security risks and measures, and assess the plan against the regulations that apply to you, such as NIS2, DORA, or the GDPR.
05
We design the target architecture and the landing zone where your workloads will be deployed, and identify which next steps are worthwhile after the migration.
More about landing zoneWe need to understand your current environment and have a few conversations with your team.
2 weeks from the intake to the review of the Migration Roadmap
8 hours from your team, spread out over the calls
The free Cloud Readiness Assessment won't cost you a thing
An inventory of your servers and applications, or read-only access to your vCenter or cloud console
Two or three meetings with the owners of your most important applications
The cost of your current hosting
Your compliance and data location requirements
At the end, we'll discuss the Migration Roadmap with your team: which applications will move to the cloud, via which route, and in what order.
For each application, we assess what could cause a migration to fail: dependencies on other systems, data volume, hardware-locked licenses, data location requirements, and your team’s expertise. These risks determine the path and the order of the waves.
