While cloud migration brings many benefits to the organization like increased agility, better resource utilization, adaptability and cost reduction, it may also bring of array of challenges.\u00a0Migration from on-premises to cloud infrastructure keeps you on toes during the process. You need to keep security tabs on your data and applications, monitor operational costs and match your speed with the constantly changing cloud technologies. These factors need to be\u00a0addressed in\u00a0due course,\u00a0as\u00a0lack of\u00a0appropriate\u00a0cost\u00a0calculation\u00a0might\u00a0drain organizational resources.\u00a0Here three major reasons why\u00a0organization need to make cost assessment, a\u00a0part of\u00a0their\u00a0cloud migration plan:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Professional assessment\u00a0offers clear picture:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Often, organizations\u00a0rush to\u00a0migrate their data on cloud overlooking the fact they didn\u2019t made a migration plan. Hiring a professional assessor is an ideal step to start with. By doing so organization can get a clear view of their migration requirements, suitable cloud platform options, infrastructure cost, migration cost and maintenance costs. The assessor will measure the effect of each factor that contributes to cloud infrastructure cost\u00a0and will present a migration roadmap before you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Strategic migration of resources:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Cost assessment of each resource used in the organization is necessary before migration because one should only pay and migrate the resources that are in utilization, otherwise there are many resources that are available in the organization but seldom used. It is\u00a0essential\u00a0to\u00a0ascertain\u00a0and categorize\u00a0resources\u00a0according to their usage, as some\u00a0need to be online\u00a0round the clock will incur more cost for\u00a0automatic\u00a0start-up and shut down\u00a0on cloud, while other less important resources can be retained on-premises.\u00a0Strategic migration plan can lead minimum\u00a0wastage of money and time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      1. Maintaining backup may cost:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        Unnecessary files on operating system may not harm you as they hardly acquire disk space but such files may cost you a fortune on cloud. On cloud everything comes with a price, so identify such files and applications and get rid of them before migration process. Creating replicas of insignificant files will also waste time and funds.\u00a0Therefore,\u00a0comprehensively create\u00a0backup\u00a0maintenance\u00a0and storage\u00a0strategy\u00a0to avoid unnecessary expenses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

        Once\u00a0the organization assess different\u00a0factors and cost,\u00a0then only it is wise to make migration decision. If the cost\u00a0incurred by the organization in current setup is less than\u00a0the costs\u00a0that\u00a0would\u00a0be incurred upon\u00a0cloud migration, then go ahead and\u00a0reap the benefits that the\u00a0new platform\u00a0has to offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
