One of the following is chosen to move the application infrastructure to the cloud based on the present status of each application and the demands after conducting a due diligence study on all currently maintained applications in a data center.

In each case listed below, quality assurance is essential to ensuring the apps function correctly after being transferred to a cloud environment. In the event of a complete rewrite on Cloud Native for a Microservices-Based architecture, in addition to a complete traditional functional and non-functional testing required executed, contract testing, and resiliency testing are also crucial to ensure all services are developed according to requirement and built with resiliency.

• Re-host: the standard shift and lift. Although from a financial standpoint migrating to the cloud only fully helps you if you switch from Capex to Opex, it is the least expensive option.
• Modernize Your Application: Re-Factor or Re-Platform your program, starting with basic containerization and progressing through automation (CI/CD), decoupling complex architecture, and enabling APIs.
• Utilize cloud technologies to create your application from the start.

To prevent lock-in, clients must use various cloud providers, build provider-agnostic deployment, management, and migration skills, and take advantage of the public, private, and contemporary application delivery frameworks. Instead of just accelerating deployment and lowering delivery costs, we anticipate our clients’ attention moving from using the public cloud to achieving essential business objectives. This tendency will make the distinction between OT and IT less clear, giving rise to more modern support models, including digital business infrastructure support.

What we do:

• Create a scalable, highly dependable, and automated cloud-native platform by offering modern delivery & cloud-native solutions.
• Cost, resilience, and business value should be the driving factors behind a multi-cloud approach.
• Optimize the necessary infrastructure to produce digital business outcomes and improve Digital Business Infrastructure Operations (DBIO) services.

A systematic approach for moving your application to the cloud must be developed by evaluating effective migration options. This tactic is based on how complicated your surroundings are. There are a few crucial decisions that you must make before migrating the application to the cloud. By developing a suitable plan and conducting assessments, we at Lotus make it simple for you. Six crucial steps make up our migration strategy: re-host, re-platform, re-purchase, re-factor/re-architecture, retain, and retire.

• Rehost: Without making any significant architectural modifications, rehosting, often known as “lift and shift,” transfers your current virtual or physical servers to the cloud.
• Re-platform: Re-platforming entails transferring applications to the cloud while making a few optimizations, such as switching from self-hosted infrastructure to managed services.
• Re-platform: Repurchasing is a quicker method of accessing the cloud, but it requires changing the current licensing scheme.
• Re-factor: Refactoring is altering an application to benefit from SaaS and PaaS-based technology, which will help cut costs.
• Retain: When depreciation value is reached before migration, keeping a few, or more on-premises solutions is helpful if the migration cost exceeds the application’s worth.
• Retire: When outdated applications are decommissioned or combined with other dependent apps, retirement can be done to save a ton of money.
