Many companies start with a data backup and run their systems productively in the Cloud a short time later. This enables a step-by-step migration in a controlled, secure manner and without unnecessary effort.
Migrating existing systems to the Cloud is easier if it is not planned as a complete move. With the Netstream Workload Availability Service (Netstream ), virtual machines can be easily mirrored in the Cloud so that an identical environment can be set up. Networks, access rights and system behavior are retained. As soon as synchronization is complete, individual VMs can be specifically started as a test in the Cloud . This allows environments to be adapted and improved until a stable and efficient infrastructure is in place that can be switched to without interruption.
Frequent hurdles of classic migrations
In practice, evolved structures, version differences, a lack of network segmentation and dependencies between individual components make clean planning difficult. It is not uncommon for a major migration to resemble a rush job that keeps many resources away from day-to-day business. This often discourages migration altogether, even if the end result brings far more benefits.
Experience shows that architecture often does not survive
During preparation, it often becomes apparent that outdated structures, inefficient processes or security gaps can restrict or even block migration. In this case, a one-to-one mirroring is not expedient. The dream of a simple and direct migration is therefore shattered for the majority of customers.
However, the migration offers a good opportunity to revise your own IT architecture and make it fit for the future.
Netstream actively accompanies this step. Together with the customer, the team analyzes the existing structure, clarifies critical points and develops a stable target environment. The result is not theoretical concepts, but directly implementable solutions based on the existing systems.
Advantages of a migration with the Netstream Workload Availability Service
A modern Cloud is easier to achieve than you might think. If you start with replication, you create the basis for a stable migration. Instead of planning a complex complete move, a clear, comprehensible migration strategy is created. This ensures a secure, structured changeover with real added value for ongoing operations.
- Migration support from Netstream
- Resources in the Cloud can be started up as a test at any time
- No business interruption to be feared
- Final changeover can be delayed until full satisfaction is achieved
- Additional managed services can be added to relieve the internal team
