Datacenter (DC) Transformation: Assessment (3-wk)

Mphasis

Mphasis has developed a Transformation assessment framework for migrating workloads to Azure or Microsoft 365 for a seamless user experience and the IT consumers can access data anywhere in the world.

This assessment gives customers an understanding of their Current Mode of Operations (CMO) across 3 tracks – Technology and tools, Processes and people (IT Ops), and a possible roadmap for Future Mode of Operations (FMO) to Azure Services/Microsoft 365 services.

Assessment areas –

  • Review workloads running within the DC - servers, storage, backup and archive, network services, hosting locations
  • Review the IT operating model supporting these datacenters

Phase 1: Discovery (7 to 10 Days)

  • Identify the current mode of operations for process, technology, and people (IT Ops)
  • Technology and Tools: Understand the technology spread and tools/ solutions using Azure discovery solutions like Azure Migrate, Content Search, eDiscovery solutions for Microsoft 365
  • Process and Tools: Understand how current IT operations are run vis-a-vis common ITIL processes and service management platform for operations
  • IT operating model: Understand the current operating model

Phase 2: Assessment and roadmap (7 to 10 Days)

  • Assess details from Phase 1, identify risks and impact on gaps
  • Identify possible migration solutions either by using Azure Migrate (preferred) or using 3rd party tools
  • Create a roadmap detailing the FMO for migrating the workloads to Azure/Microsoft 365

Azure native solutions for migration -

  1. Azure App Service Migration Assistant
  2. Azure Database Migration Service
  3. SQL Server Migration Assistant
  4. Azure Cosmos DB data migration tool

While the assessment is aimed at providing a Mphasis Point of View and creating a roadmap for migrating workloads from DC workloads to Azure or Microsoft 365 services, Mphasis can also onboard solutions and services for the assessment of End User services and Security services.
