Cloud Migration

The cloud – it offers immense scalability, ease of use, audience engagement, cost savings, and even risk reduction. However, enjoying those benefits is not as simple as just deciding one day that you want to make use of cloud services. In order to benefit from cloud-based technology, you will need to move some or all of your operations through a process called cloud migration.

At Makoni Technologies, Inc., we have over a decade of experience serving clients in a wide range of industries in moving to the cloud, choosing the right services, creating cloud strategies, and more. We can do the same for you. Get in touch with us today for an in-depth consultation on your needs.

What Is Cloud Migration?

Cloud migration is the name given to the process of moving your applications and data from an on-premises server to a remote cloud server. Called cloud adoption, this can take many different forms and may involve moving all of your data and applications, or only certain assets. It depends on the cloud migration and adoption strategy that your organisation creates. Learn more about how you can benefit from cloud migration – contact us today.

Why Migrate to the Cloud?

Cloud migration offers organisations of all sizes a number of important benefits. For instance, it allows you to take advantage of cost-effective solutions that enable you to bypass the purchase and provisioning of in-house infrastructure. Cloud-based services are also infinitely scalable, allowing you to increase or decrease capabilities at a moment’s notice, which ensures you’re able to adapt to changing business and industry
needs immediately. Other benefits of cloud migration include:

Security:

AWS and Azure, the two largest cloud-service platforms in existence, offer infinitely better security than small and mid-sized businesses can implement on their own. Even enterprise-level organisations can benefit from the best-of-breed security solutions on offer.

Simpler:

Data warehousing, provisioning, infrastructure development, and other tasks can be incredibly complex and take away from time to focus on what your organisation does best. Cloud migration allows you to simplify things and focus on activities that deliver the best ROI.

Efficiency:

With a migration to the cloud, your in-house teams become more productive and efficiency increases. Even regionally or globally distributed teams can benefit from the increased collaborative capabilities. Ready to experience the benefits of cloud migration within your business or organisation?

Challenges Faced in Cloud Migration

Cloud migration can be complex even on a small scale, much less if your organisation decides to migrate all of your data and applications. You will face a number of significant hurdles and challenges that must be overcome in the process. The right IT partner can help. Just a few of the challenges involved in cloud migration include the following:

Complexity: The more data and applications you migrate, the more complex the entire process becomes. It’s critical that you have both an in-depth strategy to guide the process, as well as a bird’s eye view of the migration to prevent problems.

Data Model Changes: In most cases, data migration will mean you need to change your data model. This requires more than just changing schema type – you’ll also need to consider solutions to support semi-structured data, as well.

Stored Procedures: Does your organisation use stored procedures? If so, you’ll encounter significant challenges as these are often not supported in cloud environments.

There are numerous other hurdles that can derail your migration efforts. We can help streamline and manage the process, ensuring a successful conclusion while minimising potential problems.
