Data Management:
4 Steps for Cloud
Migration Success
The cloud is central to modern digital transformation, providing
scalability, elasticity, and agility for organizations in a time of
acceleration and change. But how do you migrate to the cloud
successfully? How can you guarantee your ongoing multicloud
deployment will be a success? It’s all about focusing on a strong
data management strategy—one that ensures your data is
available and protected at all times. Here are the four steps you
need to take to prepare your data for the cloud.
Step 1
Gain visibility
Before you consider cloud migration, you need
end-to-end visibility into your current systems.
You need a solution that shows you:
you need
end-to-end visibility into your current systems.
Where your data and applications reside
The systems that create value
The systems that just cost money
The resources each system is consuming
And how much those systems cost to maintain
Step 2
Ensure resiliency
Migrating complex systems to the cloud is, well, complex.
And once there, you still have to manage and protect your data. To avoid financial and reputational hits, you need a resiliency solution that:
Protects your cloud-based workloads with automated backups
Alerts you to outages
Automatically fails over to another cloud-based or on-premises environment
Step 3
Test for success
Look for a migration and resiliency solution that:
Before migrating core business workloads, you will need to test.
Efficiently creates a working clone of your system in the destination environment that doesn’t disrupt production
Allows you to run the cloned system without disrupting operational applications
Alerts your team to problems prior to migration
Step 4
Maintain mobility
Agility is the cornerstone of digital transformation.
The last thing you need is to be tied to a single vendor’s cloud. You need a migration and resiliency solution that can:
Flexibly move workloads anywhere to meet changing business goals
Free you from vendor lock-in
Support on-premises migrations to the cloud, between clouds, and back to the data center
The cloud is essential to digital transformation, but it’s not a cure for all data security and business continuity challenges. You must close the gap between digital transformation and data management before migration to protect your data and operations.
