Densify.com’s New Cloud Migration Analytics
Cloud Migration Analytics enable organisations to migrate enterprise applications to public clouds faster, with less risk and lower cost. The solution includes expert insight from specialised Transformation Advisors and provides a detailed transformation plan that ensures every workload gets exactly the right kind of infrastructure resources in the right amount, without waste. The solution assesses enterprise applications running on VMware or PowerVM on AIX infrastructure for suitability to move to public clouds including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft® Azure™ and IBM® SoftLayer® according to compliance, regulatory, security, utilisation and other technical requirements. It also provides the ability to compare catalog-based IaaS with public bare metal hosting solutions, such as VMware running on SoftLayer or the upcoming VMware on AWS solution.
The Densify.com migration analytics provide a plan that:
· Identifies the best, most cost effective, public cloud hosting environment for each application
· Specifies resource requirements and cloud catalogue instances
· Outlines the costs associated with the various hosting options being considered
