TEC37 Cloud Series E03: WWT's Cloud Decision Tree: What Everyone Should Know Before Migrating Applications
Event Overview
In today’s highly competitive digital landscape, migrating to the cloud is no longer a choice. Meeting the expectations of digitally-savvy consumers means maximizing cloud capabilities. Yet enterprises often find that migrating applications and workloads to the cloud can deliver uneven results in terms of added flexibility, scalability and computational power across a variety of use cases. If the wrong migrations tools or approach is used, even the most experienced cloud professionals can expect to encounter downtime, data loss or other severe consequences. In this TEC37, WWT’s Multicloud experts outline the decision-tree criteria organizations should follow for cloud migrations. You'll learn about our approach for identifying which applications are great candidates for migration, which are weaker candidates, and which should not move to public cloud — all while keeping your organization’s business outcomes top of mind.
