Cloud Migration Readiness

Cloud Migration Doesn’t Have to be Risky — or Expensive

For every enterprise, successful cloud migration isn’t simply a nice-to-have — it’s mission-critical. We understand how crucial the journey to the cloud is, and we’ve got the expertise and technology to help you safely achieve your cloud goals.

Rely on Our Workload Expertise

Cloud migration goes beyond IT — it’s one of the biggest and most critical challenges that organizations face today, with profound impacts on future agility and growth, to say nothing of risk. To get it right, you need advanced analysis, experienced advisors, and the right process. Which is where we come in.

Advanced Analysis

Leverage Virtana’s granular workload analytics and cloud simulations to forecast cloud performance and risk

Experienced Advisors

Benefit from Virtana’s decades of experience assessing environments and modeling application workloads

The Right Process

Engage with us to validate cloud performance requirements, provider selection, and migration planning

Preview Your Entire Cloud Migration

Too many cloud migrations fail to meet performance expectations, or result in massive overprovisioning — and a substantial number simply fail outright. Avoid the many cloud journey pitfalls by validating your migration plans before you begin.

Plan It All in Advance

We’ll help you de-risk your cloud migration by confirming the suitability of targeted apps based on their on-prem performance SLAs, their dependencies, performance requirements in the cloud, and estimated cost — all before any migration. You will know:

Which workloads to migrate
Which applications are fit or unfit to migrate
How to reduce migration time
How to construct your “move groups”
How to design your migration events
Which cloud provider to use
What are the optimal cloud configurations
What is the estimated cloud cost
How to know apps will perform as expected in the cloud
Your application dependencies

Discovery: Understand the project

We first work with you to confirm migration objectives, scope, and approach. Leveraging Virtana’s VirtualWisdom, we discover application workload characteristics by generating complete dependency maps of all compute, networking, and storage in the data center and by visualizing all east-west and north-south traffic in the environment. This enables us to fully assess your application requirements.
What we deliver: A target workload inventory with baseline assessments and complete application dependency maps.

Profiling: Accurately represent workload needs

Baselining and right-sizing infrastructure prior to migration can save millions in cloud overprovisioning. We leverage machine learning to distill large amounts of workload data into representative synthetic groups of workloads, which are subset by CPU, memory, network, and storage. We then identify and fine-tune candidate cloud configurations.
What we deliver: A complete set of workload profiles, affinity groups, synthetic workloads, and candidate cloud configurations & costs.

Playback: Match workloads to suitable cloud configurations

By leveraging the workload simulation and playback capabilities of Virtana’s WorkloadWisdom, we’re able to test workloads on target cloud configurations to select cost-optimal placements and verify performance. This includes running what-if scenarios to determine the impact on workload compute, network, and storage and tune configurations accordingly.
What we deliver: A synthetic workload cloud performance report with updated candidate cloud configurations & costs.

Monitor: Confirm all your expectations

Once the migration is complete, we’ll use the power of Virtana’s CloudWisdom cloud management platform to monitor migrated workloads in the cloud, identify any unforeseen performance or capacity issues, and carry out further tuning as needed. The dynamic nature of the cloud makes these on-going tools and processes critical for any deployment.
What we deliver: Cost and performance visualizations along numerous business and infrastructure dimensions that drive efficient cloud management and a focus on right-sized capacity, proactive monitoring, and cost efficiency.
