On-Premise to Cloud Migration: 4 Key Challenges in Becoming Cloud-Native

83% of enterprise workloads is going to move to Cloud by the end of 2020.

It indicates that businesses are releasing the importance of deploying workloads in the cloud and are migrating applications from on-premises to the cloud. The dynamic nature of the cloud platform makes scaling infrastructure to accommodate changing requirements a relatively pain-free process.

A successful migration faces many challenges including controlling costs, picking the right architecture, and scaling learning curves. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that every step from planning and assessment to migration is performed by certified cloud experts or service providers.

Hybrid Cloud: Balancing On-Premises and Cloud Service Providers

If you think multi-cloud applications are already very flexible, wait until you really explore the advantages offered by hybrid multi-cloud. Hybrid multi-cloud, or simply hybrid cloud, combines cloud computing resources with on-premises infrastructure. There are a lot of reasons why the hybrid cloud is highly beneficial.

When you have a lot of data to process, for instance, relying on a hybrid cloud environment provides the best balance between performance and flexibility. In specific applications such as vision AI, the hybrid cloud lets users benefit from real-time, on-premises processing while keeping the system open and flexible enough using the cloud.

Cloud-First is Often a Mistake. Here’s Why.

For some enterprises, a “cloud-first” policy can seem like a no-brainer, especially when compared to the quagmire of traditional data center infrastructure. Yet new software-defined infrastructure solutions like hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) also offer IT agility, as well as greater security and control than what’s available in a public cloud. Perhaps surprisingly, many actually cite cost as the key incentive for using public cloud, despite the fact that, in most cases, it is significantly more expensive than on-premises HCI solutions like Enterprise Cloud.

IDC published a study that found predictable workloads, which account for the majority of all enterprise workloads, on average were about twice as expensive to run in the public cloud as compared to running on-premises on Nutanix. And a 2018 IDC survey entitled Cloud Repatriation Accelerates in a Multicloud World reported that 80 percent of organizations had repatriated applications out of the public cloud back to on-premises, and that 50 percent of all public cloud applications installed today will move back on-premises over the next two years.
