Cloud Migration Manual: The Adjustment to SaaS Model

The cloud-based SaaS model eliminates the need to build, set up, and manage the system, allowing users to just purchase the desired program for a certain length of time. And to migrate to the cloud you need to set up a roadmap, prepare to change app architecture, pick up a SaaS hosting provider, and lastly delineate the data migration process.

Before the gaining growth of SaaS software popularity within the development, IT solutions were pretty obvious: businesses had on-premises applications, which operated on particular servers with a certain volume and other limitations. And developing ones, companies went along with the high fees on maintenance, expenses on manual labor, as well as challenges regarding updating.

Application Cloud Migration or Application Modernization?

Traditional software applications and on-premise legacy applications have limited computing power. However, innovations and trials require enormous computing resources. As a result, enterprises are looking at cloud migration and application modernization as the preliminary business requirement for launching innovations. It not only allows them to execute cross geography trials but also test digital innovations with AI/ML algorithms that require exhaustive computing.

Application Cloud Migration and Application Modernization Are Synonymous 

Application cloud migration entails the movement of the on-premise applications to the cloud environment, either on-premise cloud or public cloud, in order to avail the benefits of scalability, flexibility, and exponential computing power. It is synonymous with application modernization that allows the erstwhile on-premise application in its cloud-borne avatar to process queries and data at a tremendous speed. The applications are on the same turf as the cloud-first applications that are the true proponents of the cloud-native environment.
