Cloud Migration Challenges and How to Avoid Them

Written by Sayed Saeed | June 28, 2024

If you haven't migrated your applications to the Azure Cloud, you are missing out on increased productivity and availability. Cloud-based technologies make scaling easier and more successful. A cloud migration can give you faster disaster recovery, solid backup storage, and data security. Aspirant can help reduce your costs by elevating efficiencies.

Companies that utilize custom developed software can benefit from migrating that software to the Azure Cloud in many ways. However, these migrations can often run into various problems. Integration points, data base, file storage, and security can often require review and refactoring to work efficiently after migration.

 To mitigate those problems, it’s important to adequately plan for cloud migration.

Cloud Migration Challenges: Planning for Success

How can you successfully and efficiently move your infrastructure to Azure? Organizations using virtual machines and similar services who want to move into the cloud will need to plan thoroughly to have an effective cloud migration.

The fact is that many apps, especially within companies that have developed custom software, simply weren’t built for the cloud. Databases, storage, processing power, networking, and security configuration are all elements that need to be considered. Each element must be compatible with cloud migration for it to work successfully.
