In this series of blog we will discuss about how to strategize, plan and migrate from on-premise to Azure. We will be divide this into following articles
Migrating your datacentre to Azure is a big step for small businesses. There are many benefits to moving to the cloud – like increased productivity, better agility and decreased costs – but getting there is a daunting process.
In this guide, we’ll break down the specific steps involved in each phase to guarantee a successful migration.
Microsoft recommends a four-step migration process for migrating to Azure:
Discovery involves identifying all existing workloads and applications in your infrastructure so you can prepare them for migration. It’s an extensive and tedious process, but critical to success.
To maintain the same datacentre performance, security and stability while managing costs, analyze your on-premises workloads in your existing virtual or physical environment and compare them to equivalent resources in Azure.
Purchasing new storage every time you reach capacity is a constant burden. There are a few types of Azure storage to consider depending on the nature of data.
Once you have a better understanding of Azure products and how they fit into your migration strategy, it’s time to evaluate your existing infrastructure. Here are some tools to help:
This tool automatically inspects your on-premises environment, whether physical or virtualized, and provides a checklist for moving your workloads to the cloud. After the assessment, the tool generates a report detailing the workload attributes/configuration that are ready to move and what requires further investigation before moving. The report also provides additional resources to resolve issues and prepare the workload for a move to Azure.
The MAP Toolkit is an agentless inventory, assessment and reporting tool that securely assesses IT environments for various platform migrations including Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Office 2013, Office 2010, Office 365, Windows Server 2012 and Windows 2012 R2, SQL Server 2014, Hyper-V, Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track and Azure. Since version 8.0, MAP Toolkit can assess environments and provide readiness information for both physical and virtualized workloads migrating to Azure.
Both of these tools can help you carefully review and document all applications, workloads and processes you currently use, including:
Now that you’ve audited your existing environment, it’s time to map out how to get your servers in Azure.
The three likeliest targets for your workloads are:
Now that you’ve audited and prepared your existing workloads and applications, you’re ready to migrate to Azure.
