Why Migrate to the Cloud? Benefits Revisited

Businesses are increasingly turning to Azure migration strategies to modernise their infrastructure. Whether seeking greater scalability, enhanced security, or cost predictability, migrating to Microsoft Azure enables companies to simplify operations and empower productivity through cloud-native services. Azure offers high availability, robust disaster recovery, and seamless integration with Microsoft 365, ideal for growing businesses.

Assessing Your Current Infrastructure for Cloud Readiness

Before starting your cloud migration, assessing the current IT landscape is vital. This means evaluating workloads, security posture, licensing, and dependencies. At Veracloud, we help you understand what’s cloud-ready and where upgrades are needed. Our proactive approach ensures fewer surprises during the transition.

Understanding Different Migration Strategies

Every business has unique needs, which is why Azure offers flexible migration strategies:

• Rehost (Lift and Shift Azure): Move applications without code changes, ideal for speed and cost-efficiency.
• Refactor: Adjust applications for better cloud compatibility without full re-architecting.
• Re-architect: Redesign apps to scale and perform better in a cloud-native environment.
• Rebuild: Start fresh with PaaS solutions to unlock full Azure capabilities.

We help you select the right path based on budget, timelines, and long-term goals.

Developing a Migration Plan: Key Steps and Considerations

A successful migration starts with a well-structured plan. Key steps include:

• Setting clear business objectives and timelines
• Choosing suitable Azure Services and licensing models
• Mitigating risks through staged workloads and test environments
• Ensuring compliance with standards

Veracloud provides tailored IT roadmaps that align your business needs with Microsoft’s cloud technologies.
