Accelerate Cloud Migration

Gain the visibility you need to unlock the potential of cloud.

Jump Start Your Cloud Initiative

Every organization has its own migration journey to the cloud, from lift-and-shift of on-prem data centers and workloads to the cloud; to refactoring existing applications to take advantage of cloud elasticity; or developing new, multi-tier, containerized applications.

Regardless of the model employed, your IT and cloud teams need visibility to monitor all aspects of a workload’s behavior, performance, security, and availability as it is migrated to the cloud. Once a workload has been successfully migrated, teams need ongoing monitoring for troubleshooting and performance. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline:

  • Provides complete, packet-level visibility into public and private cloud platforms and on-prem environments
  • Enables IT and cloud teams to gain the necessary visibility into workloads at all stages of the migration process
  • Helps accelerate delivery, reduce risk, and ensure the success of cloud migration projects

ESG TECHNICAL VALIDATION

The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline provides end-to-end observability and network security.

How Gigamon Can Help

We have the industry’s first deep observability pipeline for all data-in-motion across any cloud network. It offers access to high-fidelity, packet-level network data supports tools to help teams monitor, manage, and troubleshoot all aspects of application and workload performance. Cloud application log and trace files let teams combine packet and log data to provide cloud-native observability or analytic tools with the most context rich dataset to drive monitoring and troubleshooting functions.

Elastic visibility for any cloud

Deliver visibility-as-code that can elastically scale-up and scale-out on demand through a consumption-based licensing model which operates seamlessly across any public or private clouds.

Cloud visibility for network tools

Provide traditional network tools with immediate, agentless visibility into layers 2-7 across any cloud network.

Network visibility for cloud tools

Deliver the "ground truth" of data-in-motion to cloud tools, such as visibility into east-west container traffic and unmanaged devices, through network application metadata.

Cloud migration is the process of moving your applications and data from an on-prem system to a cloud computing system. Cloud migration can also refer to the process of migrating your data, applications, and assets from one cloud provider to another. While migrating from an on-prem system to the cloud offers several potential benefits, it’s important to select the right provider and define clear cloud migration goals to ensure a smooth migration.

There are several potential benefits of cloud migration, but it’s all centered around bringing your IT infrastructure into the modern world of cloud computing. Cloud computing systems are generally more cost-effective than on-prem systems, which means you can save money by migrating. Cloud migration can also result in a performance boost and give you access to modern software that might not have been compatible with your previous system.

A good cloud migration strategy is one of the biggest keys to optimizing the cloud migration process, and that starts with a pre-migration assessment. It’s important to understand how migrating to the cloud might affect your applications, infrastructure, and data, and you can take precautionary steps to ensure a smooth migration. Cloud migration tools can make the process easier, but there are several potential obstacles you can face during a cloud migration.

Migrating from an on-prem system to a cloud system involves switching from physical servers to cloud-based servers, adopting cloud-based software, and ensuring everything works in your new cloud environment. The cloud migration process is a little different depending on the cloud provider you choose, but transferring data is the easy part. You also need to make sure your cloud applications are able to interact with your data like your on-prem applications do, and you can’t lose sight of cloud migration cybersecurity.

The 7 R’s of cloud migration are refactor, replatform, repurchase, rehost, relocate, retain, and retire. These strategies can help you decide on the right approach to your cloud migration, with each R representing a different method for migrating to the cloud. While there are many cloud migration myths, the 7 R’s of cloud migration are used by organizations of all sizes to ensure a smooth migration to the cloud.
