Headed for Cloud! Are you ready?

Are you really ready to move your applications/infrastructure over to Cloud or are you still puzzled with all that marketing offers and support promises made by Cloud vendors. Here are some key points that I gathered which might help you to start thinking.

 But before you plan which applications need to be moved you must understand your current setup and plan accordingly.

 Cloud movement: Smart Idea!

• Standard applications like Payroll processing, Income-Tax declaration, Leave Management, Employee Performance monitoring apps, Travel desk apps.
• Applications which are self dependent, with no or minimum feed from other apps.
• Applications which are highly developed and mature in nature.

Cloud Movement: Bad Idea!

• When data stored by applications is under regulatory compliance or financially sensitive.
• Legacy applications are best supported in-house. Most Datacenters vendors, runs there business on latest technology which might not support your legacy application.
• Applications which are highly dependent on other applications, which could be legacy themselves.

The above is not a comprehensive list, but will help you to make your first step, when planning for cloud movement.
