Have you been wondering which applications in your business are good candidates to move to the Cloud? Below are a couple of suggestions and things to keep in mind. Hosted Cloud Solutions (IaaS) or Infrastructure as a Service further ease the ability and cost of seeing how the Cloud can benefit your business.
- Pilot Projects- Building a pilot project in the Cloud gives an organization the opportunity to see the benefits of Cloud Services on a small scale. The pilot project should be non-critical, limited in scope and time frame, as well as have a loosely defined ROI.
- Non-Business Critical Tasks-Look for low risk applications and data that could be run off-site in the Cloud. This also helps to free IT resources for other organization projects.
- Development and test- Development and testing consume a tremendous amount of resources. Developers all must have the same set of tools and have multiple environments to test in. By pulling this into the cloud, you only need 1 set of tools. Additionally, the test environments can be shut down when the testing is completed, which means only investing in a single resource to handle all test environments.
The Cloud Standards Customer Council has a whitepaper for download that reviews all that should be considered when moving into the Cloud.
