Cloud Implementation
Cloud migration is the process of moving data, applications or other business elements to a cloud computing environment.
There are various types of cloud migrations an enterprise can perform. One common model is the transfer of data and applications from a local, on-premises data center to the public cloud. However, a cloud migration could also entail moving data and applications from one cloud platform or provider to another — a model known as cloud-to-cloud migration. A third type of migration is a reverse cloud migration, cloud repatriation or cloud exit, where data or applications are moved off of the cloud and back to a local data center.
Why to choose AudvikLabs for cloud migration
Cloud is designed to give customers a fast, reliable, powerful, and affordable cloud platform for hosting critical business applications. We specialize in UNIX, Linux, Windows, and more, and we’re here to make sure each and every client gets exactly what they need from a cloud platform.Modern disaster recovery tools support object-based cloud storage, so you don’t have to copy the backup to physical media first, and only then restore it. For a business, this means a much lower risk of loss of profit due to downtime. Moreover, the cloud provider takes responsibility for returning the system to working condition, so this is no longer your headache.
With the technology and business benefits provided, cloud computing has become the basis for digital business initiatives. It is now imperative for companies to develop cloud scenarios optimized for a digital strategy. Cloud computing will drive digital transformation like no other technology has done before. To summarize for why you should choose us for cloud migration , following are the key points , you can look for :
Opting your cloud environment
Now that you have the visibility you need to achieve success, you are ready to decide what kind of cloud model you want to adopt. Whether you choose public cloud, hybrid cloud, private cloud, or multicloud (or services like Google, Azure, or AWS) depends on which best serves your current and future needs. Just make sure your APM solution extends to your chosen provider(s)
Migrating your apps and data
Planned accurately, your actual migration should be plain sailing. Still, keep in mind cloud security concerns, such as complying with security policies and planning for data backup and recovery. Also be sure to use APM to baseline premigration performance in preparation for the next step
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.
And even if your company itself is engaged in the development of software, then your specialists can work with more serious tasks than cleaning dust coolers and recovering accidentally deleted data. They can fully focus on the quality of the product being developed and its effectiveness .
Steps and strategies used for cloud migration

Choosing a Cloud Vendor and Designing the environment:
The next step for cloud migration for us is to decide between cloud vendors: Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform.
Create a Cloud Roadmap:
After having an insight into what actually we want, we are now ready to outline which components will make the move first based on business priority and migration difficulty
Get Your Application Cloud-Ready :There are two typical migration models:
Lift and Shift (Rehost) and Rearchitect (Refactor). Rehosting is basically taking your application as is and moving it into a cloud environment.Whereas Refactoring means making changes to the application architecture to take advantage of cloud capabilities.
Migrate Your Data:
Data migration plan is a crucial cloud migration step and can prove disastrous if done wrong. A proper data migration strategy will look to audit the data to prevent any unexpected issues, clean-up of any identified concerns, putting controls in place to ensure data quality, and proper governance through tracking and monitoring
Testing and Switching to Production:
Now that cloud environment is set up to your specifications, the application(s) are in the cloud, data has populated – the next steps in the cloud migration process is to flip the switch.Even with extensive testing in the test environment, things can still go wrong when shifting to production. One way to reduce the risk, is to migrate a set of test users over to the new environment before a full launch to identify any issues that were missed through deployment and initial testing.
These cloud migration steps should ensure your team has a solid foundation for approaching the cloud migration process strategically.
Some common cloud migration benefits
In just minutes, automatically create a complete, interactive dependency map of application components across the entire stack
Maintaining upscale as per requirements. This saves money for the unused data. It gives opportunities to increase or decrease resources in line according to business needs. Future IT infrastructure and resource allocation are made easy with these benefits. It reduces the workload and so we can concentrate on the main business requirements. Additional cloud-based tools help sin good assessment and migration
Reduced cost is another important benefit that makes cloud migration a popular strategy. It is analyzed by Rackspace that 88% of companies save money when running services in the Cloud. Having a local server has ongoing maintenance and support costs that add to the annual budget.
The cloud environment allows organizations to access remotely. Their other services documents and databases can be accessed from anywhere by using collaboration and communication tools, software, and apps. This enables the worker to collaborate remotely with much effectiveness. Sending files back and forth is inefficient and time-consuming. Fortunately we have cloud computing that reduced the time and labor involved in file sharing
It has given a better work-life balance that enabled the workers to choose to work from home and comfortable hours of working. Many services are independent of platform and operating systems that can be worked in any devices like mobile, tablet and laptop
Many cloud solution providers offer high-security data storage at a minimum cost. It is easy to expand and shrink the storage based on your requirements in cloud computing. Business with seasonal or periodic data storage requirements, opt for cloud because of these reasons
