2. Today, cloud providers utilize multiple
technologies such as Infrastructure,
Platform and Software as a Service (IaaS,
PaaS, and SaaS, respectively) to offer
customized and robust solutions. Usually,
the first thought that most IT teams have
as they begin their migration journey is to
migrate existing virtualized workloads to
cloud-based VMs.
Understand the
technology stack
3. Organizations must first identify low
hanging fruits and low-risk, high-reward
areas for initial deployments. Only after
these initial implementations show desired
results, should they think of shifting to a
public cloud provider.
Prioritize your projects
4. A big temptation for cloud-based service
offerings is the accessibility to a few high-
end features and self-managed
infrastructure that may be costly for small
businesses. IT businesses today must keep
UX at the top of their mind when setting up
IT processes and policies.
Implement industrialized
processes and
methodologies
5. To realize cloud benefits, it’s not really
necessary to replace the entire data
center infrastructure. Cloud service
providers can use cloud offerings to
extend on-premise infrastructure.
Utilize and expand your
current data center
