Retain or Retire in a Cloud Migration
Not all cloud migration choices result in a multi-tab project plan. The two easiest ones to implement are retain and retire, which aren't exactly migration so much as decision. Let's examine what retain and retire are and when you would choose them.
Repurchasing in the Cloud
In cloud migration projects, repurchasing can often save on staffing and application maintenance and storage costs. Repurchasing (also known as "drop & shop") simply means moving to a different product.
Data Lakes vs. Data Warehouses
In this era of increasingly big data, we gain advantage from absorbing and interpreting mounds of information. Data lakes and data warehouses are both widely used for storing big data, but they are not synonymous. Data lakes are not data warehouses, so let's look at what makes each important and useful.
Refactoring for the Cloud
Refactoring is re-architecting and re-programming applications to function in the cloud. We believe refactoring for the cloud is a smart strategy for long-term success in technology.
Lift & Shift Cloud Migration
Many organizations start moving to the cloud using a lift & shift migration with one or more of their applications. Lift & shift, or rehosting, means moving a workload from on premise to the cloud with minimal modification.
