EA Team has a standardized Cloud framework that will ensure business adoption through a process driven move to cloud for long-term success. Our framework for migration comprises of 4 phases with automation and analytics engine at every stage of the migration lifecycle.

We will leverage cloud migration tools available from our strategic partners to migrate workloads from On-premise to cloud using the best feasible methods including P2C, V2C, I2C or by creating customized templates for provisioning & migration workflow to automate the entire process. Data migration would be performed over the WAN/Internet for small to medium workloads and for workloads which have large data sets attached, we will leverage cloud service provider options like ship your device, storage gateways, and cloud exchange platform.

After application complexity and interdependencies are determined, services will be grouped together in Migration Waves.  Some characteristics that determine the groupings include:

• Dependent applications and interfaces
• Services that have similar business or stakeholder groups
• Services with similar levels of complexity for migration
• Availability of application users to support migration testing
• Application roadmaps and quick wins

EATEAM will build the foundational services like AD, DNS, FW services along with required security configurations before migrating any workloads to Cloud.

Integrated services will be grouped together in Migration Packages/Baskets, and a high-level schedule will indicate Migration Waves. The most critical applications are scheduled first, based on available migration windows.  The remaining Waves are scheduled around the critical applications.

The selection of target hosting platform for the applications must be done in a strategic and methodical manner. Enterprise applications must be thoroughly assessed to determine which workloads can benefit most from early migration to the cloud. Therefore, EA Team with its experience and expertise around such migration projects has designed a Cloud framework, which has automation and analytics driven approach to accelerate cloud migration across the enterprises

These four phases lays down the end-to-end journey of application migration project:

Phase 1 – The formal kick off of the project and collecting all of the required information from the customer’s environment

Phase 2 – We perform the application analysis based on best industry leading practices and create Move Groups for migration plans and timelines

Phase 3 – The actual Migration of applications to cloud using our industry leading “Factory Approach” and post migration activities

Overlay – Our migration factory sits across all of the phases as the governance layers to mitigate the risk, downtime, disruptions, cost, and duration of cloud migrations

When public cloud first arrived on the scene, its scalability and cost savings were some of the most oft-repeated lines used for adoption. As companies started to execute their digital transformation to the cloud, they were surprised to see costs rising, not falling. This is a common scenario played out in almost every cloud transformation.  With a focus on the technical aspect of digital transformation the cost saving features of the cloud were either ignored, not understood or simply not known about.  And they only found out when the transformation was complete and the first invoice from the cloud provider arrived.

Ensure accountability, transparency and efficiency with our cloud optimization services. Your internal stakeholders will have clear, easy to understand and actionable analytics that will enable truly effective cloud governance. Our Cloud Optimization service is geared around correcting the issues of an out of control invoice or getting more out of your current cloud savings. Utilizing advanced metrics, we analyze your solution to see where you spend is currently going.  Once we have that information, we can decipher your solution’s requirements and how best to fit them to the advanced services of a public cloud.  With the amount of public cloud services numbering over 100, having someone along to let you know the best place to go is a game-changing accelerator for your business and for your bottom line.

This incorporates the strategies of orchestration, team organization and cloud platform awareness.   It answers the questions of, once you are in the cloud, how will you examine if metrics are being gathered and translated correctly, can you rapidly scale in times of increased demand, or scale back in times of lower demand?  How to tell if unused instances are online, or who is deploying what instances and why?  Are regulated instances secure?  This service goes hand in hand with enforcing the cloud strategy you have put into place when you decided to move forward with cloud adoption.

EATEAM experts will walk you and your teams through these questions and their answers, tailored specifically for your business.
