Cloud migration presents immense technical challenges, and additionally, companies must choose between regional or multi-regional options, local SSDs, or persistent disks, along with several other choices. Selecting the wrong storage option from the outset could likely hinder the effective operation of applications.
To build and expand new cloud environments for an extended range of clients, a significant part of that work is helping our clients overcome challenges in shifting workloads and addressing points that are not fully optimized. The most frequently encountered challenges include:
Connecting New Cloud Applications With Old Data:
A recent report emphasizes that data integration is a crucial step for companies pursuing frictionless data distribution. Organizations may need to transform their data architecture to align with the cloud services offered.
Selecting the Proper Data Storage:
Choosing the right data storage helps companies decide to migrate their data and applications to the cloud. Businesses are exploring ways to reduce costs, establish new accelerated penetrations, and analyze data management when deciding on a provider.
Time and Cost of Migration:
The migration process requires a lot of bandwidth and resources, making it necessary but challenging. This can be a tough business decision as it may be detrimental to enterprises’ productivity, potentially leading them to continue with a local server.
Modifying Personnel, People, and Processes:
Adapting personnel, people, and processes to cloud systems to change data architecture is one of the biggest challenges companies face with cloud migration. Organizations may stagger the migration process into phases to ease personnel and other data users into the new methods associated with cloud storage implementation.
New IT Talent:
The need for new IT talent required for cloud storage migration does not likely match the skill set required for local server management. Cloud computing, inherent in full cloud migration, demands developers with specific IT skills, posing a challenge to cloud migration efforts.
Security and Compliance Regulations:
Migrating to the cloud may require businesses to adjust security and compliance permissions. According to research published by Solutions Review, 60% of companies cited security as a major concern for not moving to the cloud.
The good news is that none of these challenges are without solutions. Let’s connect to overcome the challenges you face in cloud migration and make your transition as smooth as possible.
