Azure Native Migration

Description: iVision will work with Customer to assess the current on-premise environments, design and deploy Azure Architecture & Azure Foundation (Landing Zone), and migrate workloads to Azure native. iVision aligns with Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure migration methodologies.

Overall Discovery & Low-Level Design:

iVision’s Cloud Migration Assessment will provide in-depth discovery of the connectivity, network, and workloads to effectively define the requirements needed for low level design. This data collection will lead to the building of network requirements, migration plans and runbooks needed for a successful cloud migration. iVision takes a phased approach during this assessment that includes:

•        Discover the details of the environment to provide a complete picture of the network and application infrastructure using automation tools and organization interviews

•        Evaluate discovered data to identify the application parameters, dependencies, and migration patterns

•        Plan the migration details such as migration waves, move groups, testing plans and risk mitigation strategies

Security / Network Architecture and Design:

iVision will collaborate with the Client to design and architect a network design to support the Cloud migration, including user access, remote sites, and global connectivity. During this design, iVision will evaluate if native Azure network solutions could replace existing appliances in the Cloud.

Azure Foundation (Landing Zone) Design:

iVision will collaborate with the Client across required design pillars based on the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), to determine key decisions and design a proper Azure Cloud Landing Zone fit for the Client's needs. For this design, iVision will leverage the "Enterprise Scale" approach of CAF for Azure Landing Zones, which will provide the Client with both Microsoft best practices and iVision’s proven experience in deploying production-ready and secure cloud landing zones.

Azure Foundation (Landing Zone) Deployment:

iVision will deploy the Azure Landing Zone via Infrastructure as Code and automate the build process based on the Low-Level Design.
