Migration Assessment
VIAcode will assess the IT infrastructure and applications, create an inventory of resources, analyze capacity needs and consider networking and security requirements in order to build a roadmap for migration.
Migration Strategy
Based on the Assessment VIAcode will prepare a report with the proposed cloud resources, cost estimation and a plan for a streamlined migration that will minimize impact on the business.
Cloud Deployment
VIAcode engineers will design and implement an Azure environment using best practices for optimal cloud performance and cost-effectiveness ensuring comprehensive and simplistic cloud management.
Cloud Migration Assessment
During the Cloud Migration Assessment step VIAcode will:
- Identify all assets that can be moved to the cloud while considering cost and security implications as well as technical compatibility
- Create an inventory associated with on-premise physical and virtual configurations
- Collect performance metrics for all target infrastructure
- Gather networking configuration, topology and bandwidth requirements
- Confirm Active Directory topology
Migration Strategy
The Azure cloud migration strategy will cover the following areas:
- Azure Resource Manager (ARM) model to support effective security, policy/compliance enablement and cost attribution
- Rightsizing of the cloud infrastructure based on collected performance and configuration data to support predicted workload
- Cloud migration model to support maintenance window schedule and concurrent cloud/on-premise availability
- Networking topology, such as VNets, firewalls, ExpressRoutes, inbound/outbound availability
- Plan for Active Directory migration to/integration with Azure Active Directory
- On-premise to cloud license transition for IaaS workloads
Cloud Deployment
The deployment phase of the Azure cloud migration will consist of creating:
- Key Azure elements, such as tenants, subscriptions, resource groups and resources
- Configuration and synchronization of the Azure Active Directory with on-premise Active Directory
- Networking configuration, such as public/private address spaces, VNet/peering, Network Security Groups (NSG), ExpressRoutes, site to site VPNs, firewalls, etc.
- Virtual Machine (VM)/Database migration to the new infrastructure using Azure-native tools such as Azure Site Recovery, Azure Backup and SQL Service Migration Assistant
