Successful cloud migration starts with thorough planning

At 35x, we place great emphasis on detailed analysis and sound planning to ensure that your cloud transformation runs smoothly and efficiently. The systematic analysis and planning phase is the most important part of the entire migration process. This is where we work with you to lay the foundations for your cloud success.

IT Architectural Analysis

A comprehensive inventory of the current IT landscape is always the first step towards the cloud. During the analysis phase, we gather all relevant information about applications, databases, servers, networks, interfaces, and more. This detailed analysis provides us with a complete picture of your IT environment. It forms the basis for further planning and helps us develop the best migration strategies.

Workload Evaluation

In the next step, we evaluate the workloads based on various criteria to identify the best migration candidates. The most common criteria are:

Business Relevance

How critical is the application to your business processes? What impact would a failure have? Applications essential to business operations must always be analyzed with the utmost precision to enable smooth migration.

Technical Complexity

Which technologies are used? Complex applications may require special migration strategies.

Performance Requirements

What performance does the application need to deliver? The migration of applications with high performance requirements or strong load fluctuations must be carefully prepared to ensure that they function optimally in the cloud.

Security and Compliance Requirements

What requirements and guidelines must be followed? Sensitive data requires special security measures.

Resource Usage

How efficiently does the application use current resources? Applications that consume a lot of resources can be particularly well optimized through cloud migration.

Identifying Migration Candidates:

Based on the previous assessment, we select the workloads that benefit the most from a cloud migration. We consider the following:

Modernization Potential

Which applications can be modernized through cloud migration? Applications based on outdated technologies, for example, can be modernized during the cloud migration.

Expected Benefits

Which workloads offer the greatest opportunities for efficiency improvement, cost reduction, scalability, or agility? Applications that can be operated more efficiently in the cloud, for example, have great potential for cost savings.

Potential Challenges

What risks and difficulties might arise? How can we proactively address and minimize them? Applications with special requirements or dependencies require careful planning to overcome potential challenges.

Sound planning of the migration

After identifying the migration candidates, we create a detailed migration plan. This plan includes all the necessary steps to securely and efficiently migrate applications to the cloud. These steps include:

Schedule and Milestones: We create a detailed schedule with clearly defined milestones to monitor the progress of the migration.
Resource Allocation: We ensure that all necessary resources (such as personnel, technology, and budget) are available for the migration.
Risk Management: We develop strategies for early detection and mitigation of potential risks to ensure a smooth migration.
Testing and Validation Processes: We implement comprehensive testing and validation processes to ensure that the migrated applications function flawlessly in the cloud.

Thorough planning is the key to a successful cloud migration. With 35x, you have an experienced partner by your side who will guide and support you throughout the entire process. We help you thoroughly analyze your IT environment, identify the best migration candidates, and create a detailed migration plan. This ensures that your cloud migration is secure, smooth, and successful.
