Cloud migration involves moving data center capabilities to cloud infrastructures offered by providers like AWS and Google Cloud. The process includes planning, creating a business case, executing the migration, and ensuring ongoing maintenance and security of the data. Benefits include enhanced disaster recovery, improved flexibility, reduced IT support burden, and a lower carbon footprint.

2. WHAT IS CLOUD
MIGRATION
• cloud migration is when a
company moves some or all of its
data center capabilities into the
cloud, usually to run on the cloud-
based infrastructure provided by a
cloud service provider such as
AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.

3. The process of businesses
migrating to cloud:
1. Cloud Migration Planning- one of the first
steps to consider before migrating to the
cloud is to determine the use case that the
public cloud will serve. You need to access
your environment and determine the factors
that will govern the migration, such
application data, legacy data and application
interoperability. It is also necessary to
determine your reliance data. These
requirements will help u charter a solid plan
which you'll need during migration.

2. Migration Business Case- Understand the relevant services offered by
cloud providers and other partners, as well as their costs,
once you've determined your business requirements. Determine the expected
advantages of cloud migration in terms of three dimensions: operational
advantages, cost savings, and architectural improvements. Then build
a business case for every application you plan to migrate to the cloud,
showing an expected total cost of ownership (TCO) on the cloud, compared
to current TCO.

3. Cloud Data Migration Execution- At this stage , it's necessary to execute
your migration. Every workload element individually migrated should be
proven to work in the new environment before migrating another
element. You'll also need to figure out how to keep changes to the source
data synchronized while the migration is in progress

4. Ongoing Upkeep-Once the data has been moved to the cloud, it's critical
to make sure it's optimized, secure, and accessible in the future. It also helps
with monitoring real-time changes to critical infrastructure and predict
workload contentions. You should also be able to assess the security of the
data at rest to ensure that working in your new environment meets regulatory
compliance laws such as HIPAA and
GDPR.

10. Financial Benefits of Cloud Migration
Enhance disaster recovery capabilities by 38%
Two hours is the deadline for disaster recovery for a company using
cloud storage. For comparison, companies that use local storage can
solve this problem for up to eight hours, which can mean huge losses
for the business.

11. Improve flexibility up to 37%
• Regardless of whether you need to open a budget spreadsheet from your
hotel room or a Photoshop file from the office, cloud storage allows you to
access data whereve r you are.

12. Reduce the IT department’s support burden up
to 36%
• If the specifics of your business is such that you do not need to maintain
and pay a whole team of technical specialists, then you can trust the provider
to administer the IT infrastructure in the cloud. This is more profitable than
hiring a separate specialist for these tasks

13. Zero maintenance cost
• When you choose a cloud provider that aims to work effectively with a large
business, you get full responsibility for providing quality services and a
serious approach to the work performed

14. Zero capital cost
• There is no longer any need to buy expensive computers with tremendous
performance and plenty of memory. Now all your information will be stored
on the cloud and most of the calculations will be performed there.

15. Lower carbon footprint
• If your company has an environmental mission, then migrating to the cloud
is another way to confirm it.

16. More cost agility
• Severs of ordinary companies on average are loaded with no more than 15%
of their capacity. But in certain periods there is a need for additional
computing resources. Thus, the company’s servers are either out of work or
can’t cope with their work. When switching to cloud computing, this
unreasonable waste of resources will be solved

17. Reduced data security risks
• As you know, data is your most expensive resource, and the cloud protects it
from almost any encroachment. According to the Gartner study, by 2020,
80% of all information leaks from the cloud will be due to improper
configuration or internal problems of the company, and not the vulnerability
of the provider
