Migrating to a cloud

Migration to a cloud is a solution for customers who seek highly available, secure and flexible hosting solutions. Hostersi is an authorized, certified Amazon Web Services partner for cloud migration implementation, holding AWS Migration Services Competency, confirmed by numerous projects and an independent audit. 

We develop a strategy for migration to a cloud taking into account customer’s needs, cost analysis, and desired method of data access and its safety. We also help you choose the right set of cloud services, which provide solutions of maximal efficiency. With each implementation we test application performance in the cloud and its possible operations in new environment. We recommend the best practices in the field of migration, supported by our experience and completed projects. We create solutions based on a public, private and hybrid cloud computing. We advise what type of cloud and from which supplier is the best answer to defined needs of a customer.

According to the Gartner report, the companies which will not begin to use computing clouds before 2020 can be compared to organisations that do not have access and do not use the Internet.

We recommend migration to a cloud especially to companies and institutions whose systems and applications are exposed to changing dynamic load. Cloud computing grants a possibility to pay only for used resources and helps to reduce costs while maintaining high performance of services.

As we are at partnership with Amazon, we recommend especially Amazon Web Services.

We also cooperate with other cloud suppliers – Azure, Oktawave or e24cloud and others. Our specialists will gladly choose a cloud which best suits your needs and will design and comprehensively carry out migration process.

Migrating to a cloud, that is transferring services to a cloud, above all facilitates:

• increasing flexibility,
• reducing business running risks,
• maintaining high performance of services,
• increasing data security,
• ensure compliance with the PCI DSS security standard,
• reducing costs of maintaining infrastructure.

On the basis of cloud computing Hostersi create reliable and scalable hosting solutions which respond flexibly to current needs of applications and IT systems. We also help in management of cloud computing and ensuring its maximal efficiency.

Migrating to a cloud is above all:

• choosing the right migration strategy to the cloud
• designing a scalable cloud solution,
• configuring appropriate resources in a cloud computing,
• installing necessary system components,
• conducting data migration to a cloud,
• optimisation of resources,
• selecting proper applications supporting resource management.

While every migration is different, over the course of a dozen years of helping organizations across industries and regions migrate to the cloud, we've noticed that all migration projects consist of similar steps.

They can typically be divided into three phases:

1. Assess Phase. In the Assess phase, HOSTERSI helps you analyze your IT environment and create an optimized estimation of the cost of maintaining this environment after migration to the cloud. HOSTERSI and AWS offer services and tools, as well as the experience to help many companies like yours effectively plan and execute these activities
2. Mobilize phase. In the Mobilize phase, HOSTERSI and AWS help eliminate gaps in your organization's readiness cloud readiness gaps discovered in the Assess phase, both in terms of human aspects (such as employee training), updating IT processes, and technical aspects.
3. Migrate & Modernize Phase. This stage is where each application is analyzed, the target architecture designed, migrated, and validated before being put into the hands of users. In many cases, the best solution is to quickly move to the cloud and then create a new architecture in AWS. AWS Application Migration Service is a tool that enables rapid lift-and-shift migration from source environments (whether physical, virtual, or from other clouds) to AWS.

Many companies see migration as an opportunity to upgrade their applications using legacy technologies. Here are some proven ways to do it:

• automate infrastructure (elasticity, containers, AI/ML),
• implement agile practices (DevOps, test automation, CI/CD, monitoring),
• architecture patterns native to the cloud (stateless, microservices, serverless, data lakes
  (data lakes),
• modernization of servers using Windows operating system, modernization of databases and moving to product-based operating models.

These methods increase innovation, flexibility, fault tolerance, and performance, accelerating the achievement of planned business results.
