Application Migration to Azure

The cost of application migration to Azure varies according to the size of the application. For a small app, medium/large app migration to Azure, the cost will be $5000-$15000 and $20000-$250000 respectively.

In order to maintain transparency and no error in migration, Livyoung Realtech Enterprise suggests iterative form of migration to Azure. As far as the time is concerned, the standard iteration often takes two to three months.

    Steps to Migrate Applications to Azure

    We at Livyoung Realtech Enterprise follow the below mentioned steps in order to smoothly migrate apps to Azure:

    1. Perform an Azure migration feasibility study and inventory of applications and servers

    Before migration to Azure prepare a list of your reasons as to why such migration is significant and thereafter determine the scope of the Azure migration.

    Ensure that your cloud migration plan incorporates all the vital app elements and define cloud app deployment tooling along with assessing the compatibility, and scalability of the workloads with Azure.

    Lastly, outline the business outcomes, risks involved, and costs required to successfully migrate apps to Azure.

    2. Plan Azure migration (and application modernization)

    Find out out-migration project stakeholders, migration order for workloads, team roles, and which deployment model will suit you.

    Later, you can choose the best migration approach such as rehost, refactor, re-architect, and rebuild, or a combination of it, for your app depending on the migration needs and objectives.

    Schedule your app migration and identify the right fit for Azure services such as compute, storage, analytics, continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.

    3. Perform pilot Azure migration (optional)

    As per the plan, the first landing zone for workloads will be deployed and then a part of the app functionality will be replicated to run in Azure.

     Analyze the outcome of such migration and if required, adjust the application architecture along with the configuration of cloud infrastructure.

    4. Execute phased application migration to Azure

    Schedule and convey app downtime to whoever is concerned and set up a virtual data center and DevOps tools and processes.

     Transfer the most essential workloads and their data to Azure, confirm whether the migration activities are not affecting apps’ functionality, and be ready with backup and disaster recovery solutions.

    5. Manage and optimize your Azure environment

    Set up monitoring and analytics tools such as Azure Monitor, Azure Advisor, Azure Log Analytics, and more, and monitor the functionality and performance of migrated apps.

    Keep a check on app changes and update the configuration after migrating to Azure, together with improving security and performance levels.

    Augment app architecture, make use of AutoShutdown, etc. and low-priority VMs with Azure Batch, and so on.

    Sourcing Models for an Azure Migration Project

    Followings are the sourcing models for an Azure Migration project that will help you in figuring out the best for your business:

    In-house team

    Pros

    Full control over the app migration process. Ensure team productivity.

    Cons

    Lack of certain essential resources. Budget will be hampered if you hire. Suffer with a lot of burden and lose focus on other core business affairs.

    Partial Outsourcing

    Pros

    Share the burden with a vendor that takes full responsibility. Fully established Azure migration frameworks.

    Higher risk involved as far as migration or modernization is concerned.

    Full Outsourcing

    Pros

    Share the burden with a vendor that takes full responsibility. Fully established AWS migration frameworks. Get access to AWS discounts and services.

    The higher risk is involved as far as migration or modernization is concerned.

    A mix of an in-house team and outsourced consultancy

    In-house team being aware about the current software environment and access the assets easily. Outsourced team will offer expert guidance on every matter and fills up the gap, if any.

    The risk involved in consultancy team selection. Require much time to set up the relationship between the two

    I had the experience of engaging LIVYOUNG services for one of the custom software which my organization wanted to develop. Good thing is they are based in India as well as Germany which perfectly suited us. For me it was easy to manage locally and the management to have peace of mind since they are German. I visited their offices in Pune and have been pretty satisfied with the clear analysis, timely execution and keeping things under budget. This testimonial is my Thank You note to LIVYOUNG.

    Found that their pricing was very much transparent compared to another Automation tool system that our office uses. Spent a lot of time questioning the features presented and got fully satisfying answers. Saves tons of time and money.

    We highly recommend Livyoung Realtech in .NET programming and support. They are highly professional and transparent. Balaji made us understand hidden loopholes in my existing platforms. On the reporting side, we love the ability to create drill-down reports. If you are looking for a great team to handle your .Net application, we certainly recommend them.
