Azure Migration Readiness: 6-Wk Assessment

A successful cloud migration plan starts with a clear, data-driven understanding of your current server infrastructure. This assessment delivers a foundational understanding of server workloads running across your estate and provides an in-depth understanding of the resource utilization of those workloads. From this data, we provide a detailed Azure readiness and sizing analysis, right-sizing and platform recommendations, and Azure cost models to enable detailed migration planning and identify application candidates for an Azure Migration Proof of Concept as a common next step.

Agenda

Weeks 1-2 – Data Collection

• Inventory of server infrastructure
• Collection of workload utilization metrics

Weeks 3-4 – Infrastructure Analysis

• Categorize workloads, such as identifying non-production
• Produce Azure VM sizing, preliminary modernization opportunities, and cost modeling

Weeks 5-6 – Application-level Analysis

• Target an application candidate for migration
• Group workloads by application dependencies
• Assess application-level readiness
• Estimate Application Modernization level of effort

Deliverables

• Server Inventory Report, including hardware, OS, and software attributes
• Azure VM Migration Report, including workload utilization metrics, Azure readiness, optimized VM and Storage profiling, and cost projections
• Application Readiness Report, including PaaS compatibility and remediation considerations
