Consulting: Preparing for the Cloud
Strategic Diagnosis: Can your organization adopt the Cloud?
Our diagnostic exercise is based on your business drivers. We will ascertain whether adopting a Cloud platform will be a strategic direction for investing. Alternatively, we will explore select workloads to be tactically deployed on the Cloud.
The diagnosis is based on the current challenges with your current infrastructure and operations. Find out which are the applications categories that will provide maximum value when moving to the Cloud. Also, what will be the challenges and risks in adopting the Cloud platform? Lay down the potential risks and mitigation strategies to handle the risk.
Audience: CIO, Infrastructure SVP and CFO
Cloud Adoption IT Strategy and Change
Cloud Computing is a shift in the way services and infrastructure are consumed. There is a separation of the responsibilities and ownership of various roles. Adopting a Cloud provider will require a change in:
- Development and lifecycle management
- Configuration and environment
- Operations management and monitoring
- Provisioning and metering
- Data auditing and stewardship
Pilot Application Migration to the Cloud
Undergoing a pilot exercise with a handful of applications is an approach to uncover the adoption risks and justify the business case for migration to the Cloud.
It is also important to do the first migration right and therefore form a baseline approach to evolve for further application migration to the Cloud.
Infosys will offer technical consultants to undertake such pilots. The purpose of the pilot is to undertake a reverse knowledge transfer and repurpose the learning back to the organization.
Developing a Private Cloud
Organizations are not only looking at adopting the Public Cloud but are also working towards building a Private Cloud in a situation where data security and audit challenges do not allow applications to run on a Public Cloud.
The chief drivers behind developing a Private Cloud are separation of applications and infrastructure, doing a business unit chargeback and consolidating and improving server resource utilizations.
Assess your current investment in Datacenter and Virtualization technology to identify the gaps and set the road map for a Private Cloud. The focus will be on defining the maturity and gaps in:
- Virtualization - infrastructure, storage, application and information
- Grid-based workload distribution engine
- Management and monitoring of virtual infrastructure
- Infrastructure scalability
- Adopting provisioning, chargeback processes
