Migration to the cloud

Migrating resources to cloud computing is a technical and organizational challenge related to the mapping and security of the current architecture, services,and applications.
A key element of migration is ensuring business continuity of mission-critical business processes and high availability of data.
Migration scenarios are based on cloud computing business scenarios defined at the operational planning stage. Depending on your business requirements, migrating to the cloud may include::

Planning operational

Planning is aimed at identifying specific migration and adaptation scenarios and identifying the necessary actions to implement the Strategic Plan.
As part of our operational planning, we use the methodology and standard defined by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). The Cloud Security Alliance is the world's leading organization dedicated to defining cloud computing security standards.

As part of operational migration planning and adaptation to cloud computing, analysis and planned actions will be carried out taking into account the following areas:

• Confirmation that the use of the public cloud complies with applicable laws and obligations to business partners
• Defining business scenarios for using the public cloud
  • Volume of apps migrated to the cloud
  • Amount of data transferred to the cloud
  • Amount of hardware resources transferred to the cloud
  • Amount of data transferred from the cloud
  • Method for accessing cloud resources
  • Authentication method
  • A group of users authorized to process data in the cloud
  • Volume of business processes / activities transferred to the cloud
• Choosing the right Security Model archetype for business process groups raised in the cloud
• Determine the required level of security for individual processes and operations migrated to the cloud
• Identification of a CSP (Cloud Service Provider) that can meet functional and security requirements
• Define necessary security measures for implementation and define responsibilities between CSPs (Cloud Service Provider)
• Work closely with CSP to implement appropriate controls and integrate with the security tools used
• Standardization, security automation, analysis is it possible to standardize security "under the cloud" with the rest of the organization
• Prioritize security for deployment
• Implementing security and cloud security management

Planning strategic features

Strategic planning aims to ensure that the scale and ways in which cloud computing migrates and adapts to a particular organization supports the achievement of strategic business goals.

As part of our strategic planning, we use the BMM (Business Motivation Model) methodology, supported by the international consortium Object Management Group. The tool allows you to perform analysis in areas related to business strategies, as well as to analyze the IT goals of implementation projects.

Our approach will allow us to determine:

• A vision that defines the main goal of switching to cloud resources
• Strategic goals, the achievement of which will directly support the implementation of the vision and allow you to check whether the expected benefits of the project have been achieved. Strategic goals will be determined based on strategic business goals
• Operational goals, the achievement of which will allow you to realize strategic goals. Operational goals for individual strategic goals will be determined based on the grouping of tactical actions
• Mapping the reach of a vision by achieving strategic goals and operational goals
• Tactical areas of activity that make up a set of initiatives for individual goals. Tools for achieving goals, which are a set of functional capabilities and security mechanisms necessary for the implementation of identified initiatives
