Big Dream of small companies
Migrating to cloud has always been a dream for many Small and Medium Business Enterprises, especially with the hassles of procurement cycle for any infra restructuring in the organisation and also the maintenance overheads of hardware infrastructure. Even small organizations, have rigid processes when it comes to scaling up infrastructure for a project requirement or a hardware refresh. Tenders/contracts/procurement procedures, only add to the complexity and make the complete process cumbersome, especially when the new addition is for a temporary period (sometimes even for few hours).
Solution:
1CloudHub joining hands with AWS
As a born in the cloud company, 1CloudHub has always been passionate in helping SMBE’s regardless of the size of revenue that would be realised out of the engagement. At 1Cloudhub, we being an Advanced Consulting Partner with AWS, wanted to leverage the increasing popularity of the cloud among the small business segments, also helping them to quickly migrate to cloud with flexible and cost-efficient services proposed by Amazon Web Services, with its highly flexible public cloud infrastructure.
1Cloudhub and AWS teams together approach the SMBEs who are ambitious to go to cloud. Companies pioneering into cloud, may be hesitant to invest on trials, as they do not have vision of the outcome. The SMBE were given opportunity to :
- Migrate any one of their stable/non business critical applications to cloud (sometimes even one environment, for example Non production systems only)
- Develop a greenfield application in cloud
Our Approach:
1CloudHub recommends that migrating one application at a time to the cloud can be a good start for small and medium-sized businesses/enterprises (SMBEs) . Typical steps we follow in our approach are
- Understand customer requirements
- Identify Assets to be migrated
- Help the SMBE management to realize cost benefits post migration, over a period of time
- Propose a phased approach isolating Non production systems and Production systems in separate phases
- Provide a progressive roadmap to migrate other applications from on prem to Cloud
- Golden images of a Linux/Windows instance with standard pre-requisites are maintained in a library readily usable for the Build deployment engineers
- Based on customer requirement, quick launches of identical instances from the library of Golden images is performed, which is our USP, enabling seamless provisioning of cloud instances, at the wink of an eye (Quick GoTo Cloud Approach)
- Provide Cutover planning and support during Go-Live
- Post Go Live Support of 30 days at no extra cost
