Azure Readiness Scan
Many organizations choose to host their infrastructure and platforms in the public cloud to make their applications more flexible and scalable, while taking advantage of the latest technologies. However, it can be challenging to gain a clear understanding of what this environment will look like, what efforts are required, and whether existing datacenter applications are suitable for the public cloud.
Answering these questions is essential before deciding to migrate applications to a public cloud environment. To provide better insight into the potential transformation of your application landscape to Azure, we offer a fixed-price Azure Readiness Scan.
Azure Readiness Scan
A solid preparation is essential before starting your Azure migration. We can help you design an effective, secure, and cost-efficient roadmap to Azure—giving you a realistic view of the impact and opportunities of your cloud migration.
A realistic assessment of an Azure Implementation
Using the tools provided by Microsoft, it is possible to perform an assessment for a “lift and shift” migration to Azure. However, these assessments are often overly optimistic and not tailored to the specific application landscape. As a result, they provide an unrealistic view of an Azure implementation and fail to leverage the true value of Azure’s Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) capabilities.
Together with your organization’s IT department, we add the necessary application context to the data to create a realistic estimation of your Azure implementation. In doing so, we take into account applications across the full 7R spectrum (Refactor, Re-Architect, Re-Platform, Re-Purchase, Re-Tire, Re-Host, and Re-Tain).
In addition to estimating the expected monthly Azure costs, we also develop a detailed roadmap as part of the Azure Readiness Scan. This includes migration costs based on your preferred migration method and approach. In this way, we deliver a comprehensive plan outlining how to best execute the migration to the public cloud and transform your application landscape.
Managed Azure
“We initially expected to reduce our infrastructure costs by 50%. But after fine-tuning a few elements—both in Azure and within the application itself—we can now see that the annual savings will exceed 50%.”
A concrete roadmap to Azure, tailored to your application landscape
With the Azure Readiness Scan, we make your journey to Azure tangible and transparent. We do this for a fixed price and through a structured approach, enabling you to move quickly from insight to action. The Azure Readiness Scan includes the following components:
-
An inventory of your on-premises resources
-
An application mapping and analysis based on the 7R framework
-
A migration roadmap to Azure with an accompanying timeline
-
Cost estimates for the project and the expected Azure expenses
