Azure Migration Assessment

Migrating to Azure involves more than just moving workloads—it's about ensuring compatibility, managing costs, and maintaining security. It shouldn’t just focus on immediate implementation but aim toward long-term operational efficiency and impact to deliver business value.

Our in-depth Azure migration assessment is a stop-gap solution based on Azure’s Well-Architected and cloud adoption framework, which assists organizations in eliminating blockers and map dependencies to facilitate a tailored, strategic Azure migration roadmap that optimizes resources, aligns with business objectives, and mitigates risks.

We analyze your on-premise servers, databases, and applications in detail to determine your Azure readiness. Our experts deliver critical insights such as performance metrics, sizing recommendations for Azure resources, cost estimations, and risk assessments.

Assessment Plan:

1. Infrastructure review

• In-depth evaluation of your on-premise infrastructure, application inventory, and critical aspects like security, cost optimization, operational excellence, and performance benchmarks utilizing Microsoft Azure discovery and assessment tools. This also includes a recommended model of operations and TCO comparison between the current and Azure environments to enable seamless migration without unnecessary costs.

2. Security and compliance readiness

• Get a detailed analysis of your existing security measures, compliance status, potential vulnerabilities, and tailored recommendations to ensure your cloud environment meets industry standards. We utilize Azure Policy for governance, Azure Security Center for threat protection, and Azure Blueprints for compliance implementation to provide a secure migration process.

3. Migration strategy and roadmap

• We help structurize your cloud transition with tailored migration strategies (rehost, refactor, replatform, rebuild, replace) depending on your business objective and interdependencies using Azure Migrate. We also develop a project plan highlighting timelines, cost estimates, resource allocation, and key deliverables using Azure Cost Management.

4. Post-migration optimization

• Ensure your cloud environment remains optimized, secure, and aligned with your business objectives after migration. Using Azure Monitor and Azure Application Insights, we help you track ongoing performance and user behavior and detect and resolve potential issues.

Key Deliverables:

1. Detailed assessment of existing IT infrastructure, workload compatibility, application dependencies, and performance metrics.

2. Evaluation of the organization's readiness for migration, identifying potential risks and challenges and strategies to address them.

3. Tailored recommendations on the most suitable migration approach (rehost, refactor, replatform, rebuild, replace) based on business objectives and workload characteristics.

4. Estimation of migration costs using the Azure Pricing Calculator, including projected costs for resources, licensing, and ongoing operational expenses.

5. Recommendations for post-migration support, including performance monitoring and security management.
