Should everything go to the
cloud?

The cloud permeates the enterprise technology discussion. It can be difficult to separate the hype from the value. Should everything go to the cloud, or is that sentiment stoked by vendors looking to boost their bottom lines? Not everything should go to the cloud but coming up with a systematic way to determine what belongs where is increasingly difficult as offerings get more complex.

Critical insight

Don't think about the cloud as an inevitable next step for all workloads. The cloud is merely another tool in the toolbox, ready to be used when appropriate and put away when it's not needed. Cloud-first isn't always the way to go.

Workshop: Define Your Cloud Vision

Workshops offer an easy way to accelerate your project. If you are unable to do the project yourself, and a guided implementation isn't enough, we offer low cost delivery of our project workshops. We take you through every phase of your project and ensure that you have a roadmap in place to complete your project successfully.

Impact and result

- Evaluate workloads' suitability for the cloud using our methodology   to select the optimal migration (or non-migration) path based on the value   of cloud characteristics. - Codify risks tried to workloads' cloud suitability and plan mitigations. - Define a cloud vision to share with stakeholders.

This workshop is designed to help organisations that need to:

  1. Identify workloads that are good candidates for the cloud
  2. Develop a consistent, cost-effective approach to cloud services
  3. Outline and mitigate risks
  4. Define your organisation’s cloud archetype
  5. Map initiative on a roadmap
  6. Communicate your cloud vision to stakeholders so they can understand the reasons behind a cloud decision and differentiate between different cloud service and deployment models
  7. Understand the risks, roadblocks, and limitations of the cloud.

Define Your Cloud Vision

A step-by-step guide to generating, validating, and formalising your cloud vision.

The cloud vision storyboard walks readers through the process of generating, validating and formalising a cloud vision, providing a framework and tools to assess workloads for their cloud suitability and risk.

Cloud Vision Executive Presentation

A document that captures the results of the exercises, articulating use cases for cloud/non-cloud, risks, challenges, and high-level initiative items.

The executive summary captures the results of the vision exercise, including decision criteria for moving to the cloud, risks, roadblocks, and mitigations.

Cloud Vision Workbook

A tool that facilitates the assessment of workloads for appropriate service models, delivery models, support models, and risks and roadblocks.

The cloud vision workbook comprises several assessments that will help you understand what service model, delivery model, support model, and risks and roadblocks you can expect to encounter at the workload level
