30. SaaS, PaaS or IaaS?
− Service Level Agreement
− Data Portability
− Long Term Costs
− User management
− Security
− Scalability Platform Management

31. Plan Phase – Cloud Assessment
− WAN traffic
− Data security And Management
− Legacy Application Integration
− Security and Compliance

32. Deploy Phase – Data Migration
Application Data Migration:
• Migrate Fileserver systems
• Automated scripts for migration
• Backups and Tape Drives
• Evaluate options to move large sets of data to the Cloud e.g. AWS
Import/Export

33. Deploy Phase – Data Migration
Application Data Migration:
Evaluate options to move large sets of data to the Cloud e.g. AWS
Import/Export
Backups and Tape Drives
Automated scripts for migration
Migrate Fileserver systems

34. Deploy Phase – Data Migration
Database Migration:
− Profile the various storage options available in your vendor Cloud
− Plan for uploading data in batches
− Analyze your datasets and databases
− Evaluate various RDBMS options in the Cloud
− Ensure data encryption for security
e.g. Amazon RDS

35. Deploy Phase – Application Migration
Forklift Migration
All components are migrated to cloud at
the same time.
Useful for:
− Stateless applications
− Tightly coupled applications
− Self-contained applications
Hybrid Migration
Also, known as Partial Migration
approach
For example:
− Batch processing in cloud
− Application on premise
− Integrate cloud applications with
cloud incompatible legacy
applications
