Cloud migration and optimization delivers new capabilities and opportunities
Save money while improving agility, security, and innovation
Why cloud migration & optimization
Cloud migration done correctly saves money, improves agility, enhances security, and boosts innovation for our clients who seek to achieve digital transformation and use a modern cloud-based technology stack.
Cost savings
Cloud computing saves IT infrastructure costs, including hardware, software, and maintenance. Our clients can also save on energy costs since data centers built by cloud providers are more efficient.
Increased agility and flexibility
Cloud computing gives our clients the ability to scale up or down their IT resources as needed, which helps them be more agile and responsive to changing business demands. Cloud computing also makes it easier for our clients to experiment with new technologies and applications.
Improved security
Leading cloud providers have more robust security measures in place than businesses can typically implement on their own. This can reduce our client’s risk of data breaches and other potential security incidents.
Better disaster recovery
Cloud computing improves our client’s disaster recovery (DR) capabilities. For instance in the event of an act of God or a major service outage, our clients can quickly restore their data and applications from the cloud.
Enhanced innovation
Cloud computing helps our clients innovate faster by giving them access to a wide range of cloud-based services and applications. This can assist our clients with developing new products and services more quickly and efficiently.
Why cloud optimization
After migrating workloads for the cloud there is an ongoing need to optimize the environment and take full advantage of its capabilities and new features. Our clients also benefit from the ability to improve their company and regulatory compliance including data privacy and security mandates.
Reduced costs
Cloud optimization reduces our client’s cloud costs by identifying and eliminating unused or underutilized resources. It can also help optimize their cloud usage by making sure that they are using the right cloud services for their needs.
Improved performance
Cloud optimization improves the performance of cloud applications by tuning both configurations and workloads. This can lead to faster response times, better scalability, and improved user experience.
Increased agility
Cloud optimization can increase the agility of our clients by making it easier for them to scale their cloud resources up or down as needed. This can be useful in responding more quickly to changes in demand and to avoid overspending on cloud resources.
Overcoming challenges
Success demands a partner with deep expertise and real world experience to ensure workloads and applications are migrated correctly and optimized for peak results.
CorSource’s cloud migration and optimization solution is anchored by cloud migration consultants who guide our clients through the many decisions and considerations ranging from:
- Cloud migration strategy with a prioritization of the workloads
- Information architecture that improves flexibility and reliability
- Cloud migration project plan based on sprints and carefully planned cutovers
- Cloud cost optimization strategy to eliminate surprises
This means understanding the necessary cloud migration steps to ensure timely and on budget execution that minimizes the potential for any day-to-day operational disruptions.
The CorSource cloud migration & optimization approach
CorSource addresses every phase of a cloud migration journey, from the initial assessment and architecture decisions to re-platforming existing applications and providing ongoing performance management.
Our goal is always to optimize the return on investment (ROI) of a cloud migration. We have successfully reduced cloud maintenance costs by an average of 62% across various use cases and clients.
Cloud migration & optimization process
It starts with planning and gathering business requirements; continues with design, development, testing, and deployment; it ends with the maintenance of the resulting cloud environment.
We use a regimented process:
Discovery: we use a proven process to capture business priorities, technical debt, and desired outcomes.
Assessment: we dive deep into a client’s current assets to develop a roadmap and cloud migration project plan.
Migration: we conduct a migration strategy workshop, taking into consideration the roadmap, budget, and a proof-of-concept realization. This results in a phased approach with discrete milestones.
Optimization: we continuously optimize the implemented cloud environment for efficiency, performance, cost saving, and security using enhancements and improvements as new capabilities become available.
CorSource results
Our clients benefit from the following:
Choosing the right cloud services
Our Strategic Consultants will identify the best cloud environment from the many different cloud services available by taking into consideration their individual strengths and weaknesses. We will help you choose the right services that meet your needs and budget.
Planning with risk mitigation
We know that cloud migration can be risky with potential for data loss, downtime, or other problems. Our strategic consultants mitigate these risks by ensuring that the migration is carefully planned down to every detail and properly executed.
Migrating data and applications
Our team handles the complex process and often time-consuming process of migrating existing data and workloads. We make this phase efficient and effective by designing a migration plan that minimizes disruptions and optimizes for performance and cost-effectiveness.
Optimizing the cloud environment
Once your data and applications are in the cloud, our subject matter experts will optimize your environment for performance and cost-effectiveness. This includes configuring the cloud environment, setting up monitoring, and making recommendations for improvements.
