Why move to the cloud?
3
4
Core benefits of
cloud migration
Moving to the cloud simplifies
the deployment and
management of infrastructure
and allows your business to
quickly scale based on demands.
Technical benefits
Elasticity and scaling on-demand are huge
shifts that can help improve how you
manage, maintain, and pay for your cloud.
Scalability
Availability
Security and compliance
Capacity optimization
Financial benefits
Cloud = flexibility.
Get more out of what you pay for and
move away from fixed and upfront spend.
OPEX pricing models
Reduced datacenter footprint
Staff productivity
Sustainability
Why move now?
Every business has different needs and reasons for migrating to the cloud.
Here are some common migration triggers.
A need to support
remote work models
Cost efficiency &
resource constraints
Cybersecurity threats
Fragile on-premises
operations
A need to meet
surge​ demand​
5
6
Virtual desktop
infrastructure​
Specialized workloads
SAP
Web apps
DevTest
Linux and open-source database
SQL Server
Windows Server
In addition to the factors that trigger your move to the cloud, consider the range of workloads and applications that
can also be migrated. The examples below depict common workloads that customers migrate to Azure.
Cloud migration projects
Understanding cloud services: SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS
Advantages of SaaS
• Gain access to sophisticated
applications.
• Easily mobilize your workforce.
• Access app data from anywhere.
Software as a service (SaaS)
allows users to connect to and
use cloud-based apps over the
internet—for example, email,
calendars, and office tools like
Microsoft Office 365.
7
Advantages of IaaS
• Quickly set up and dismantle test and
development environments.
• Improve business continuity and
disaster recovery.
• Free up your team to focus on innovation
rather than on IT infrastructure.
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
is an instant computing
infrastructure, provisioned and
managed over the internet. It quickly
scales up and down with demand,
letting you pay only for what you use.
Advantages of PaaS
• Cut coding time.
• Develop for multiple platforms,
including mobile.
• Support geographically
distributed development teams.
Platform as a service (PaaS)
is a complete development and
deployment environment in the
cloud. Its resources that enable
you to deliver everything from
cloud-based apps to cloud-
enabled enterprise applications.

While the cloud adoption journey can vary for different organizations, we find that it
helps to break your cloud migration project into phases:
Steps for migrating to the cloud

Potential cost, experience, or revenue gains
Replace
Leverage an existing SaaS
application that provides the
necessary functionality for the
hosted app
Standardize around industry-best practices​
Accelerate adoption of business process–driven approaches​
Reallocate development investments into applications ​
that create competitive differentiation or advantages​
General operating cost reductions
VM size (CPU, memory, storage)
Dependencies (network traffic)
Assets to be retired
Cost-benefit analysis of the current architecture
versus a SaaS solution
Business process maps
