msg´s cloud assessment: your basis for decision making before moving to the cloud
High operating costs, insufficient performance, limited scalability, difficult and time-consuming hardware configuration and maintenance, little flexibility in case of temporary requirements... there are many reasons to supplement or even replace your own infrastructure by cloud solutions.
In msg’s cloud assessment, we clarify these and other questions together with you. We compare potential solution scenarios with their pros and cons and provide recommendations. We are happy to help!
The focus of the cloud assessment is on the clarification of the following aspects:
1. Which objectives are to be achieved by the move
2. Which functional and non-functional requirements must the application meet?
3. Which cloud provider best matches your individual requirements?
4. Comparison of beneficial variants for the move to the cloud.
5. Individual recommendations for the target architecture and description of necessary measures.
6. Estimation of the expected efforts and costs for move and operation
The msg cloud assessment procedure
The procedure comprises several steps.
In those, we define the framework conditions and the special requirements with your business and technical experts.
If documentation is already available, we review it and clarify open questions with you. If there is no existing documentation, we will gather all the required information together with you or your current provide.
Afterwards, our cloud architects propose a beneficial transformation whilst considering your goals and framework conditions. Besides the comprehensive expertise of our certified experts, we can also draw on additional expertise from our strategic partnerships with well-known cloud suppliers, if required. This enables us to develop the best solution for your use case.
We present the result of the assessment in writing. It is equally important to us to discuss the result with you - in a workshop, for example. We adapt the results, if required.
During the assessment, special challenges can arise while developing the target architecture. These often cannot be solved directly with existing cloud services. In such cases, we recommend conducting a preliminary study to test these requirements in the form of one or more proof-of-concepts. For example, the scaling behavior and possible performance bottlenecks can be identified and evaluated in advance in a load and performance test. This enables a more precise estimation of the effort required and a reduction in the risks for the migration project.
The actual move to the cloud is not part of our assessment. However, if you wish, we can of course support you in this as well. Or you place the responsibility directly and completely in our hands.
