PROJECT MANAGEMENTFOR CLOUD MIGRATIONKnow about Stages, Hierarchy and Checklist
Program Management for Cloud MigrationCloud Migration involves moving applications, workloads, data and ITresources to cloud. The process is extensive and involves formation ofteams and multi-stage planning and implementation. In the belowhandout, we have provided an overview of how iSmile Technologiesundertakes cloud migration project and the different activities involved.Program ManagementWe undertake complete program management for migration to cloud accessing yourinfrastructure, planning for new infrastructure, choosing the cloud provider, definingthe SLA terms and contracts, modulating storage and server performance, decidingthe timelines for various phases of cloud migration and others.Architecture TeamsWe have architecture teams for designingand managing the cloud architecture foryour organization. These teams manage theentire front-end platforms, decide thestorage architecture, manage servers andnetworksProject ManagementWe undertake complete cloud projectmanagement and decide the tools formigration, planning and collaboratingthrough the entire phases of cloudmigrationProgramManagementCommunicationsand tManagementCloudApplicationsCloudDeploymentCloud ategy andEvent aisonPolicies andComplianceTraining andUser SkillsDevelopmentActive directoryconfigurationApplicationDeploy BuildsDeploymentPlanning andSchedulingLicenseManagementVendor LiaisonSecurityControlsCloud sBuild ServicesNetworkconfigurationDeployment LabRun ServicesIAASconfigurationPAASConfigurationImage 1: Project Management Stages and Hierarchy for Cloud Migration
Project Management for Cloud MigrationStages and HierarchyWe undertake complete cloud project management and decide the tools formigration, planning and collaborating through the entire phases of cloud migration.1. Communications and TrainingWe undertake trainings to induce cloud centric skills in your employees. Propercommunication strategies are put in place to let the users and the stakeholders knowabout the timeline of migration, downtime to be expected, accessibility of data andsystems during migration, sign in options and many more for seamless functioning andpeak performance even during migrationa) Communication Strategy and Event Planninga) Training and User Skills Development2. Cloud InfrastructureWe define and frame the cloud infrastructure including tenant configuration, ActiveDirectory configuration, cloud identity management configuration, device access, networkconfiguration, IAAS and PAAS configuration and more.a) Tenant ConfigurationWe undertake tenant configuration along withframing the single tenant or multi-tenantarchitecture. We set the time zone, language,workspaces, configure the libraries and othersb) Active directory configurationWe install and configure the DNS for your AD,install and configure the AD domaincontroller, install the windows support tools,add groups and users to AD DS and so on.c) Cloud Identity Management configurationWe configure the cloud securityauthentication set-up, handle accessmanagement requests and so on.d) Network configurationWe configure your cloud network andmanage subnets, routers, DNS, trafficfilters, ports, adapters, bridges and so on .e) IAAS configurationWe undertake IAAS configuration for quickprovisioning of new VMs and reduce theoverhead cost of managing many servers.f) PAAS ConfigurationWe undertake set up of your PAAS andconfiguration
3. Cloud ApplicationsComplete management of cloud applications are undertaken including applicationportfolio management, application builds and business case developmenta) Application Portfolio ManagementWe undertake application portfoliomanagement to reduce redundancies,decrease costs and identify options forupgrading them and maximize performance.b) Application Deploy BuildsWe build your application, pull containerimages, validate configurations, installdependencies, run build flavor commands, runbuild hook and then deploy them and serverequests through your deployed application.c) Business Case developmentBusiness case development is done by ourteam to justify migration project selection.It involves identifying the specific cases inthe organizations for which migration isimportant.4. Cloud DeploymentiSmile Technologies has specific expertise with the following cloud deployment services thathelp you achieve the benefits of cloud, including scalability, high availability, and automation.a) Solutions TestingMultiple types of cloud solutions testing isdone including System Testing,Interoperability Testing, Performance Testing,Availability Testing, Multi-Tenancy Testing,Security Testing, Disaster Recovery Testing,Browser Performance Testing.b) Deployment Planning and SchedulingHere it is assessed whether the applications,systems, workloads are apt candidate formigration, how the security features would rollout, prioritize the workloads and systems formigration to ensure minimum downtime anddisruption along with scheduling the entireprocessc) Application Compatibility TestingHere, the applications are tested forcompatibility with the cloud and if necessary,refactoring is donee) Deployment OperationsHere the VMs, containers, and othercomponents are migrated to the cloud. Theworkloads and service requirements areemployed. The SLAs and SLOs are adhered toand many others.f) Deployment LabHere the deployment is done on secure,sharable labs in the cloud and is tested.
5. Cloud operationsWe manage the entire cloud operations including license management, build services, runservices and planning services.a) Planning Servicesb) License ManagementWe manage licenses through subscriptionmodel, pay as you go model, pay by instancemodel and bring your own license. We ensurethat proper licensing allows software vendorsto provide customers with access to real timedata without security escalations and inminimum cost.c) Build ServicesIt includes importing source code fromcloud storage and build software quicklywith various programming languages. Itincludes creating the build configurationfile and executing the build.d) Run Services6. Vendor managementWe undertake complete vendor management for cloud services including Microsoftliaising and vendor liaising.a) Microsoft LiaisonsWe collaborate and liaison with MicrosoftAzure Cloud services, various Microsofttools and othersb) Vendor LiaisonWe implement vendor liaising with specificservice agreement, maintenanceagreement along with warranties toresolve issues in real time.7. SecurityWe take complete security management of data, components and configuration on cloud.Our security management services include policies and compliance management,management of security controls etc.,a) Policies and ComplianceAll the cloud delivered systems arecompletely compliant with standards likeHIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST, NERC and otherregulations that apply to cloud.b) Security ControlsWe employ the cloud security controlsincluding the best practices and guidelinesto address vulnerabilities in cloudenvironment and prevent malicious hacksor unauthorized access.REQUEST A CONSULTATION NOW nsultation/
Cloud Migration ChecklistMoving to the cloud is a fundamental shift for many organizations. IT teams are facing atask that is unlike any they have previously faced (at least within this company) and theresults can be somewhat uncertain. As such, there may be a hesitation in making thismove, locking companies into their legacy systems that are underperforming.Image 2: Cloud Migration ChecklistREQUEST A CONSULTATION NOW nsultation/
