RISC Networks is the industry’s first cloud IaaS and data center analytics platform designed to maximize the organizations investment into cloud and improve workload migration efficiency. CloudScape provides IT organizations with the most relevant infrastructure performance analysis needed to traverse through the cloud computing lifecycle

1. Helping IT achieve more successful
cloud and data center migrations

3 Reasons Why Cloud Migrations Fail
 Provider Capabilities
Failure to understand service providers
capabilities and full cost structure
 Network Capabilities
No consideration for existing network capabilities
for migrations and long range use
 No Migration Plan
No test or migration plans for cloud or data center
workloads

If this sounds like you “I am unsure if my current IT
infrastructure will support a move to cloud” or “I don’t
know where to begin with our cloud or data center
migration”…..then you are not alone!

what network requirements will be once
the business moves a server (or group of
servers)

Valuable network communication
information and build maps of server
communications

No Migration Plan? No Problem!
• Move What, Where– Most organizations
want an easy way to identify all
dependent workloads, then build server
groups targeted for migration
• Capacity Planning – Most capacity
planners are designed on what you have,
not what you need. You need a better
way to determine network and workload
needs
• Move Plan Exporting– Constructing and
moving workloads is a complex process.
CloudScape makes this process easier!

Easy Workload Construction
• Faster Move Group Planning
Allows fast assignment of dependent
workloads into move groups
• Performance Validation
