FAQs - Azure Migration

What is Azure Cloud migration?

Azure Cloud Migration is the process of moving your existing on-premises systems, applications, and data, or workloads from other cloud environments, to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. By doing so, businesses can take advantage of Azure’s robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure, providing greater flexibility and enhanced performance for their IT operations.

What are key challenges to consider when migrating to Azure?

Migrating to Azure can bring significant benefits, but it also comes with challenges that need careful consideration and planning. Here are some common challenges associated with Azure migration:

  1. Complexity of Legacy Systems: Legacy apps may need significant rework to be compatible with Azure.
  2. Data Security and Compliance: Ensuring data security and compliance during migration is critical.
  3. Downtime and Disruption: Minimizing downtime to avoid business disruption is challenging.
  4. Cost Management: Initial migration costs can be high without proper cost management.
  5. Skill Gaps: Lack of Azure expertise can slow the migration process.
  6. Performance Optimization: Migrated apps may need optimization for better performance.
  7. Data Transfer Speed: Large datasets can be slow to transfer, causing delays.
  8. Governance and Management: Establishing effective governance and management is essential.
  9. Integration with Existing Systems: Seamless integration with on-premises systems can be complex.
  10. Change Management: Organizational resistance to change can hinder migration efforts.
