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.
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.
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 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.
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.
At Webapper, we help clients build and host their web applications. Over the past 20 years, we've been a part of the evolution and adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) in a variety of industries, from automotive to healthcare to finance. Being 'grey beards' in this space, we've been through it all, and that's why we wanted to share our knowledge of SaaS, in the form of SaaS Hosting 101.
As painful as it can be, we present the case for why we think ColdFusion 2021 might be an off-ramp from Adobe ColdFusion.
With a decade of AWS cloud hosting experience, we've learned a great deal about cloud economics. Yes, we've seen wasted expense on more than one occasion (some by ourselves), which gives us the experience to share our tips here. We've created this AWS cost optimization checklist, which we hope will guide you to a smarter budget and lower cloud costs.
If you find web hosting jargon confusing -- terms like cloud, SaaS, on-premise -- you're not alone. When planning your IT project implementations, however, you're well-served to fully comprehend these terms so you can determine which path is right for you. Have no fear, as we're going to explain each one and outline their advantages and disadvantages. Then you'll know whether cloud hosting, SaaS or on-premise is the right solution for you and your organization.
At Webapper, we talk about cloud migration quite a bit. For us, cloud migration, especially to AWS, is exciting, challenging, and, well, essential to our business. Since we first set up shop in the cloud nearly a decade ago, we've been reaping the many rewards. That's why we've evangelized cloud computing, why we exited the traditional data centers, and why we've lashed onto AWS. If for some reason you're unsure, we've assembled a brief list of AWS cloud migration benefits. We think you'll understand what all the talk is about...
