About Symptai

3. Your Challenge Common Obstacles Symptai’s Approach
• You are both extrinsically motivated to move to
the cloud (e.g., by vendors) and intrinsically
motivated by internal digital transformation
initiatives.
• You need to define the cloud’s true value
proposition for your organization without
assuming it is an outsourcing opportunity or will
save you money.
• Your industry, once cloud-averse, is now
normalizing the use of cloud services, but you
have not established a basic cloud vision from
which to develop a strategy at a later point.
• Organizations jump to the cloud before defining
their cloud vision and without any clear plan for
realizing the cloud’s benefits.
• Many organizations have a foot in the cloud
already, but these decisions have been made in an
ad hoc rather than systematic fashion.
• You lack a consistent framework to assess your
workloads’ suitability for the cloud.
• Evaluate workloads’ suitability for the cloud using
Symptai’s methodology to select the optimal
migration (or non-migration) path based on the
value of cloud characteristics.
• Identify risks tied to workloads’ cloud suitability
and plan mitigations.
• Build a roadmap of initiatives for actions by
workload and risk mitigation.
• Define a cloud vision to share with stakeholders.
Let’s Talk

4. Considerations before moving to
Cloud
30%
30% of all cloud spend is self reported as
waste. Many workloads that end up in the
cloud don’t belong there. Many workloads
that do belong in the cloud aren’t properly
migrated.

Standard cloud challenges
44% of respondents report themselves as
under-skilled in the cloud management
space.

5. Considerations before moving to
Cloud
Addressing the
hardware
obsolescence cycle
Moving away from the
‘pre-purchase
capacity’ model
Lack of IT agility Advance security,
speed and agility

6. Considerations before moving to
Cloud
Expense of maintaining
a global presence
Enable disaster-
recovery scenarios
Converting from
capital expenditure
with depreciation to an
expense budget

7. Your Cloud Migration
to-do checklist!
Establish individual and team responsibilities.
Choose your level of cloud integration.
Choose a single cloud or multi cloud approach.
Establish cloud KPIs.
Organize migration components.
Create a data migration plan and switch over
production.

8. Cloud Strategy
A workload-first approach will
allow you to take full advantage
of the cloud’s strengths
• Under all but the most exceptional
circumstances, good cloud strategies will
incorporate different service models. Very few
organizations are “IaaS shops” or “SaaS
shops,” even if they lean heavily in one
direction.
• These different service models (including non-
cloud options like colocation and on-premises
infrastructure) each have different strengths.
Part of your cloud strategy should involve
determining which of the services makes the
most sense for you.
• Own the cloud by understanding which cloud
(or non-cloud!) offering makes the most sense
for you given your unique context.

9. Migration Path
Retain (Revisit)
• Keep the application in its current form, at least for now. This doesn’t preclude
revisiting it in the future.
Relocate
• Move the workload between datacenters or to a hosted software/colocation
provider.
Rehost
• Move the application to the cloud (IaaS) and continue to run it in more or less
the same form as it currently runs.
Replatform
• Move the application to the cloud and perform a few changes for cloud
optimizations.
Refactor
• Rewrite the application, taking advantage of cloud-native architectures.
Repurchase
• Replace with an alternative, cloud-native application and migrate the data.
