Moving Complex Loads to the Cloud: Not for Beginners
USE CASE: Moving to the Cloud
Balancing On-Premises and Cloud Solutions for Optimal Performance
Especially with widely distributed enterprise software, there’s a constant balancing act when it comes to resources: how much data or processing power can be centralized and abstracted, and how much must be hosted on-premises? With architecture solutions from iSOA Group, the challenge of upgrading from legacy, on-premises deployments to flexible, cost-effective cloud or hybrid cloud solutions doesn’t have to be out of reach—and it doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. After all, sometimes, on-premises hosting or processing makes the most sense. Entire solutions, or strategic parts of them, though, can run in the cloud seamlessly rather than be locked into local, physical machines. Either way, cleanly separated, reliable services allow continuous delivery without disruption.
Modernize Gradually—or Wholesale
For scale, speed, and load balancing, iSOA Group cloud solutions employ robust virtualization technologies including Docker and Kubernetes. However many machines or services you’re modernizing, these offer efficient software delivery and sophisticated control of deployed VMs for minimal disruption and fast payback.
A Balanced Approach
The compelling benefits of cloud—near-instant spin-up, fast recovery from downtime, efficiencies of scale—come with their own security and infrastructure impact. Whether your goal is to replicate on-premises services to the cloud, or selectively link on-premises systems to cloud-hosted data sources, provisioning resources intelligently means balancing the needs for secure transmission, convenient access, and multi-platform support.
How iSOA Can Help
Data environments are never one-size-fits-all. iSOA Group can help you navigate your cloud moves, including strategic use of legacy systems, by delivering an architecture and services strategy that carefully weighs the impact of architecture complexity, secure access, and operational costs in the context of your actual infrastructure needs.
