THE CHALLENGE
Drive reliable, secure, and faster workload migration
Enterprises are continuously seeking to evolve their business and provide differentiated experiences to remain competitive. They often face constraints in cloud-driven digital transformation due to over-reliance on a single service provider, impacting enterprise operational agility and limiting innovation. Enterprise leaders share a vision for a hyper-connected, interoperable, open source, and boundaryless enterprise to enable seamless adoption of a multi- or hybrid-cloud ecosystem.
Enterprises looking to modernize applications by migrating to cloud-native architecture can choose to do it in different ways: re-host (lift and shift), re-platform (upgrade/parallel build), or refactor (migrate to cloud-native services). The options made available by cloud service providers like Google Cloud make it easy for enterprises to quickly migrate their commercial off-the-shelf applications, standardize bespoke applications, leverage next-gen digital technologies for business growth, and focus on portfolio transformation.
TCS SOLUTION
When migrating business applications to Google Cloud, our approach is to enable a balanced migration-modernization journey, aligning organizational goals with digital transformation.
It involves:
Re-hosting applications through migration of virtual machines using Google Cloud Migrate for Compute Engine or Anthos Migrate.
Re-platforming applications to eliminate technical debt.
Re-factoring supported applications to Google Kubernetes Engine or Cloud PaaS.
Replacing applications with cloud-based SaaS applications.
Re-engineering or modernizing applications to microservices and event-driven architecture leveraging Google Anthos.
TCS’ end-to-end cloud migration services on Google Cloud include:
- Assessing cloud preparedness: Offers digitized cloud assessment and defines target state to arrive at the cloud migration strategy and business case with TCS Cloud Counsel. We leverage Google StratoZone™ or third-party tools for discovery of enterprise infrastructure and applications to arrive at the target state for applications on Google Cloud.
- Building cloud foundation: Creates the cloud foundation to design a scalable and efficient landing zone with TCS Cloud Mason. TCS leverages Google’s cloud-native identity and access management (IAM), network, security, consumption, and monitoring enablers, and integrates with third-party tools as needed.
- Driving migration with a factory-based approach: Enables reliable, secure, and faster workload migration to the appropriate cloud service with TCS’ Cloud Migration Factory to meet business needs, improve operational efficiencies and perform business-as-usual activities. It involves both low-touch migration with no changes to applications, and high-touch migrations where applications are migrated to cloud-native applications. It leverages cloud-specific image migration with Google Cloud Migrate for Compute Engine, TCS’ Cloud Exponence-based automation for environment build to re-platform and modernize, Google Anthos for migration to managed Google containers, and VMWare HCX for image migration to VMWare on Google Cloud.
