Cloud Suitability

Cloud suitability answers two critical questions. Which cloud option is best suited for my application and how readily will the application move to the new cloud platform. Leveraging findings from disposition analysis, we dive more deeply into application workload characteristics to determine the best cloud model; public, private or hybrid. A weighting of business and technical rules is applied and combined with a composite workload suitability score resulting in a Cloud Fit Index rating. The index ranges from Excellent — indicating that a choice of cloud options will be suitable and the level of effort required to move to the cloud is minimal; to poor designated as unfeasible or not cost—effective to move to the cloud. Aggregating results across the application portfolio provides a powerful strategic plan for future cloud computing.
