Product/Service/SolutionService name:Cloud migration services- Azure and AWSSection 1?Headline: <We will prepare this for you>Who can benefit from our services?Companies looking to become more competitive, reduce cost, mitigate risk and achieve scalability of data base capabilities.IndustriesAny industryCustomer Contacts CTOCOOCEOSection 2What problems can we help to fix? (Why you need us)Keeping infrastructure size capacity to be prepared for feeding the peaks, increasing overall yearly IT spend and total cost of ownership.The need of numerous technical resources (system engineer, network engineer, security consultant, etc.) with product specific experience or a multi-skilled techy to manage your Infrastructure.Security issues that sometimes are hard to tackle in on-prem infrastructure, or at a high cost.What do we offer? Our expertise focuses on the REDESIGN – REARCHITECT strategies. We can help assess your current on-premise infrastructure and design a roadmap that can start with minor changes allowing you have better use of cloud resources and ending with rearchitecting all or parts of your workloads, enabling full use of the cloud. As a general overview, our model is based on three core phases: Assess and Plan Migration MigrateCloud Infrastructure setupDevelopment/lift and shift TestingGo-liveSupport and Optimize Section 3What makes us different?Our team has undergone more than 20 projects in Azure cloud configuration and infrastructure migration. Our team is composed of Microsoft Azure Experts that hold valid Microsoft MCSE and MCT (Microsoft Certified Azure Trainer) certifications. We offer a complete package that will provide the best services for our customers and optimize their Azure cloud infrastructure usage.Section 4How to get startedExplain your implementation process in detail:Our team is composed of certified experts in deploying the following setup:Cloud only deployment via Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure. In this scenario, our team of cloud Architects and Trainers (Vendor certified for both AWS and Azure) will take full advantage of the cloud using its broad array of services and components to deliver an optimal solution.Hybrid - This scenario implies a mix of Cloud and On-premise resources and is relevant in the cases where the client is bound to specific datacenters (local, private, etc.), but at the same wants to take advantage of the services provided by cloud computing. The ability to cross the boundary from On-Prem to Cloud in an efficient and non-disruptive manner is one of the great differentiators of ITPrepared. As a general overview, our model is based on three core phases: Assess and Plan Migration MigrateCloud Infrastructure setupDevelopment/lift and shift TestingGo-liveSupport and Optimize ASSES AND PLAN MIGRATIONAll our projects start with the assessment step and are led by our most senior consultants. We tend to be industry-agnostic, but to the extent that it is feasible, we allocate resources with proven experience in the industry/area of the business/project. Understanding the context and the problem statements, through open workshops, brainstorming, mind-mapping, and whiteboard sessionsEvaluate workloads targeted for migration to identify the best course of action for cloud migrationRoadmap definition achieved through setting up the list of features, assessing and linking them into a roadmap of the product cloud strategyEvaluate core infrastructure services: network, storage, identify, securityPLAN MIGRATIONAfter the Asses step ends, we have a high-level understanding of what and how we can achieve the cloud migration. The next step is called Migration Planning, and it is led by Cloud Architect or Senior Cloud Engineers.During this step, we work together with the client's team to build a Cloud Blueprint for the targeted workloads. The techniques used by our team are:Workshops to gain in-depth understanding of targeted application/workloadsBreaking the high-level application functions and product features into design components and defining these components. Creating application baselines Code analysisApplication performance analysis and benchmarking Creating cloud application change roadmap that identifies key changes that need to be made to enable optimized cloud usagePreparing and exporting design assets for the code teamWriting test cases and defining success criteriaThis core phase ends with a Cloud Blueprint for all targeted workloads that clearly defines the proposed changes, desired end state, targeted cloud services and migration roadmap. This offers a clear roadmap to achieve a successful cloud migration process. In terms of deliverables, the Blueprint will include:High-Level technical designLow-Level technical designInfrastructure set-up stepsCloud migration steps and timelinesMonitoring and logging configSecurity configPlanning and implementing the backup-planPlanning and implementing a DR-plan Defining the infrastructure maintenance strategyMIGRATEDuring this core phase, the actual migration takes places strictly following the Cloud Blueprint for all targeted applications/workloads.This phase will follow the below steps:Cloud Infrastructure setup: We deploy and configure your underlying Azure Cloud infrastructure: Azure Active Directory, Storage Accounts, Cloud Network design, Identity and Access Control, VPN tunnels, Direct Connect tunnels, and so on.At this stage we also configure Azure security and monitoring services and settings for your future environment.DevelopmentFor REDESIGN – REAARCHITECT strategies, our senior Development Team Lead will grab the design components from the Cloud Blueprint and translate them into tasks for the development team.If not constrained, we will target serverless designs which will achieve the best resource optimization, scalability, high availability and fault containment. Our Product Manager will oversee the development progress using Agile task management.The Senior Architects will make sure the feature-set is implemented correctly in both front-end and back-end components and services. Internally we are using a 4-stage development pipeline:DevelopmentTestingStaging Production. For LIFT AND SHIT strategies, this step will focus on the actual migration of on-premise servers to Azure.We actively migrate your workloads, aiming for the smallest window of downtime or zero downtime migration (if possible). We will also provide pre and post-migration testing and reports.TestingIn this step, the beta version of our targeted application cloud REDESIGN – REARCHITECTURE is shared with the client. We will load the app with a sample data set that will replicate real-world use cases. Any external dependency will run in read-only / sandbox mode, so we won't impact external systems.The results of the test will conclude the successful implementation of our goals, or it will reveal issues and bugs. We use this point to capture enhancements and new features and add them to the roadmap. If issues and bugs are found, they will be addressed by our teams and a new beta version will be developed. This cycle will go on until we eliminate all the critical bugs and issues. Only then we can proceed to the next step. In summary, this phase will include:Client Testing SessionsBug fixingRelease to Production Environment New additions to the roadmap, subject to change requestsGo-liveAt this point, the cloud environment is fully operational, tested and ready for launch. We work closely with our client in order to set the date and to prepare the go-live event. If the app replaces an older version or it has dependencies on existing systems, we will coordinate closely with the proper teams from the client-side to create a clear action plan that everybody can follow. We will help you properly integrate Azure services and workloads with your current on-premise infrastructure and servers. At this stage, we also release the procedures to manage and maintain your Azure infrastructure SUPPORT AND OPTIMIZEOur Cloud Support services can fall under two categories:Full ownership of the solution that includes both proactive and reactive operations as described below:MonitoringSolution Health-checkBackup and Disaster Recovery fire drillsComponent PatchingSecurity fixesBug FixingIncident based reactive supportIncident managementSingle point of contact for vendor support teamsOn-demand reactive support model. Under this approach, the ITPrepared team is engaged by the customer team, on-demand, to: troubleshoot and fix the solution after an incidentassist the customer team in operational/administrative activities. Our Cloud Optimization services focus on creating a tailored offering to help you monitor, automate and optimize your Azure cloud environment. Using native cloud services as well as custom cloud solutions together with our experience, we can help companies better utilize and optimize their cloud solutions. Section 5The TransformationCompanies achievments can be: reducing the cost, mitigating risk and obtaining scalability of data base capabilities. Also, using cloud services, companies achieve faster launch of new applications and services, better flexibility and data insights, better security, better Data loss prevention and disaster recovery.Section 6-Section 7Call to Action: ITPrepared offers a free Azure/AWS assessment to determine your current infrastructure readiness for cloud migration. ................
