Cloud Consulting

Velocis’ Cloud Consultancy service help customers to create a roadmap for cloud migration, which can enable their journey to cloud effectively, securely and efficiently. Our consultants work with you to arrive at appropriate cloud destination i.e. IaaS, PaaS, SaaS on Public, private or hybrid. We have established and matured our Cloud offerings, with defined processes, delivery models and experience over working with customers and integrating knowledge from the best tools available worldwide.

Our cloud consultants help our customers in identifying the best way to get their applications on cloud, ranging from re-architecting, rewrapping or recoding etc. Also ensuring that business users have minimal or virtually no change in the way they access their applications while or after migration.

Our 4 Step Execution Approach

Discovery

At this phase our team would be gathering various set of information in form of predefined excel templates as well as by interviewing and interacting with business users, IT team and respective application team for below-mentioned activities:

• Discover and gather the inventory of the existing set of applications
• Understand current infrastructure setup and deployment architecture for all identified set of applications in order to establish interdependencies and associated deployment needs
• Get inputs around current utilization of resources and usage trend of each
• Understand a high level functionality and data flow of applications to assess the authentication, authorization and accessibility
• Other information which would be required to be captured against each applications would be related to application’s age (year since used/ launched), technology stack and security compliance & controls

Assesment

In this phase our team would be assessing the data collected and would be analysing the gathered information to determine the path and destination of various applications:

• Discover and gather the inventory of the existing set of applications
• Review the data captured in discovery phase, determine workload/server interdependencies, risk etc
• Assess the maturity & stability level of the application
• Assess and understand current platform on which the legacy system resides
• Complete analysis on the strategic impact of moving your legacy service to Cloud

Workload Assesment Considerations

Target Identification

Post assessment our team would be able to derive the migration path and the target destination for set of applications. The primary activities which would be conducted in this phase would be:

• Classify workloads to determine appropriate type of services for cloud setup (IAAS, PAAS & SAAS)
• Define migration ways and applications disposition to classify applications which can be replaced, reused, refactored, re-platform, re-host, retained or retired
• Prepare and submit a DRAFT report of assessment
• Finalize the type of cloud models’ (private, public or hybrid) which would be suitable for consideration and why?

Roadmap Creation

• Finally, having thoroughly defined “on paper” the “why, what, and how” of the application migration in above phases our consultant would assist in creating a practical road map basis the application assessment focussing on quick business values and momentum. This document would help to plan, execute and manage the actual application migration. The document would contain
• Proposed destination architecture/to-be architecture of the application
• Proposed migration roadmap - Sequence of app migration, its prioritization and performance consideration
• Recommended tools for orchestration and utilization management
• Application Accessibility Framework (Security, Single sign on. link this to EMS, ADFS etc.)
