In recent years, cloud computing has revolutionized how enterprises manage their business and IT systems. Many enterprises have discovered the advantages of cloud computing, such as high flexibility to expand or reduce computer resources, availability and strong survivability, and even improved performance and cost savings.
However, the migration to the cloud is not always so easy. In many cases, precise preparations and planning are needed to maximize the business advantages of the new platform. Many enterprises become confused in the face of the many options on the cloud as they tackle a range of questions, including, but not limited to:
- Which part of the IT array should be transferred to the cloud?
- Which cloud vendor should you choose for the infrastructure – AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, Office 365, Dimension Data?
- What type of cloud should you choose – Public Cloud , Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud?
- Should you use the cloud at the infrastructure level (IaaS) or should you also exploit its advantages for other areas, such as development and apps (SaaS/PaaS)?
- How should you deal with information security issues?
- How can you verify that you are only paying for the things you really need in the contract with the cloud provider?
- What is the significance of the Service Level Agreement that the cloud vendor promises and how do you conduct yourself in light of it?
- How do you properly plan the communications lines to avoid affecting performance?
