Turbonomic
A tool that uses AI to manage and optimize workload resource allocation in real-time, helping ensure performance while operating at the lowest cost.
VMware HCX
An application mobility platform designed to simplify workload migration, workload rebalancing, and optimized disaster recovery across datacenters and clouds.
Ansible
An open-source automation platform that can help automate cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, and many other IT needs.
Repurchasing
Moving to a different product, typically a SaaS platform, which can result in a simpler, cost-effective solution. Common for outdated or costly-to-maintain legacy systems.
Refactoring/Re-architecting
Applications are modified to fit cloud-native architectures, enabling them to leverage cloud efficiencies and scalability. Ideal for long-term agility and cost savings.
Replatforming
Porting the application to a new runtime platform, making minimal changes to the code but leveraging cloud efficiencies. Balance between 'lift and shift' and refactoring.
Azure Site Recovery
A service provided by Microsoft Azure for ensuring business continuity by keeping business apps and workloads running during outages with its recovery services.
Google Migrate for Compute Engine
A tool offered by Google Cloud that simplifies and automates the process of migrating VMs to Google Compute Engine. Suitable for large-scale VM migrations.
Terraform
An infrastructure as code software tool that allows users to define and provision a datacenter infrastructure using a declarative configuration language.
Lift and Shift
A strategy where applications are moved to the cloud without modification. Useful for quick migration where the apps are already optimized for cloud.
Retain
Choosing not to migrate certain applications or components to the cloud immediately, possibly due to their criticality or complexity. Often a temporary measure.
Kubernetes
An open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services. Eases scaling and failover for applications, and deploys them to public, private, or hybrid clouds.
Snowball
An AWS service used to transfer huge amounts of data in and out of AWS using physical storage devices. It addresses challenges like high network costs, long transfer times, and security concerns.
Transfer Appliance
A high-capacity data storage server that you can use to transfer large amounts of data to Google Cloud. Useful for quick data uploads when time or bandwidth constraints apply.
Retire
Identifying IT assets that are no longer useful and can be turned off. Helps in saving costs and focusing on resources that are truly necessary for the business.
CloudFormation
An AWS service that provides developers and businesses an easy way to create and manage a collection of related AWS resources, provisioning and updating them in an orderly and predictable fashion.
AWS Migration Hub
A service that provides a single location to track the progress of application migrations across multiple AWS and partner solutions. Useful for large-scale migrations.
CloudEndure Migration
A tool by AWS that provides highly automated disaster recovery and migration solutions, beneficial for minimizing downtime during cloud migration.
Docker
A platform used for developing, shipping, and running applications inside lightweight containers. It can simplify the process of moving applications to the cloud.
Puppet
A tool used for automating the management of infrastructure through a declarative language. It ensures consistency and reliability in the infrastructure.
Server Migration Service (SMS)
An AWS service that automates the migration of on-premises server workloads to AWS. Simplifies the process of migrating thousands of workloads.
Zerto
Provides business continuity and disaster recovery solutions. Its software platform enables workload mobility and migration between different clouds and on-premises environments.
Chef
Automates infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment, allowing developers to quickly and safely adjust infrastructure to meet business demands.
Data Box
A Microsoft Azure service that uses physical devices to transfer large amounts of data to Azure. Useful for overcoming large data transfer challenges.
Azure Migrate
A Microsoft Azure service that provides a centralized hub for assessment and migration to Azure. Ideal for enterprises moving to the Azure ecosystem.
