TRANSFORMING YOUR BUSINESS ON THE AWS CLOUD

The benefits of the moving to the cloud are well documented today — big cost reductions and operational efficiencies, increased staff productivity, improved business agility and resilience. So it’s no surprise that businesses of all types and sizes are migrating their workloads to take advantage. By doing so, they are changing the way their business operates.

AWS is at the center of this shift – providing the foundation for the change for over a million active customers around the globe. Businesses can migrate any workload – applications, websites, databases, storage, physical or virtual servers – and even entire data centers from an on-premises environment, hosting facility, or other public cloud to AWS.

AWS Cloud Infrastructure Migration Services

TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF MIGRATING TO AWS

Despite the obvious benefits of moving to the cloud — even with a proven provider like AWS, many enterprises still struggle to realize the full value of their efforts. Migration can be a huge challenge if not approached with the right plan and expertise.

There are some common obstacles. For one, the lack of clear migration strategy and plan before moving ahead can create ongoing problems. Security concerns are also an important issue – both in the application development and production process. Sensitive data also needs to have the proper controls in place. Lastly is understanding the true cost of your cloud migration process and ongoing infrastructure and service. The key is acquiring the right expertise — either in house, or by working with an AWS partner with in-depth expertise.
