As you increase use of public cloud resources, how do you make sure that you're winding down and consolidating the data center to optimize performance and cost? Data centers are expensive to maintain. It's not uncommon for an organization with three data centers to spend millions annually on these facilities.

A lift and shift strategy can quickly move the “needle” on your organization’s digital transformation process due to time constrains. This strategy can even provide a way to validate the benefits of moving your business applications to the public cloud. The number one benefit of using public cloud is cloud elasticity and only paying for what you use. It doesn’t matter which of the top three public cloud providers your company has selected, a lift and shift strategy can still be applied and provide value for cloud migrations.

I figured, why not start off the New Year with a blog about “Why I joined Turbonomic?”. We could end this blog in two sentences as answering the question “why” is relatively easy; the culture and passion. But I feel I need to dive deeper as this requires a bit of backstory on my previous experience working with Turbonomic that dates back to when I worked for AWS (Amazon Web Services).

Application modernization is a process, not an event. Many cloud-native apps have been developed for the cloud, but there are also legacy applications that need to be migrated to this new environment. It can be challenging to decide what cloud architecture will work best for your organization and how you should go about migrating all your existing data.

We are sharing our most often cited 11 steps towards developing a cloud strategy where organizations can modernize their application and infrastructure operations by moving their applications from on-premises servers to hybrid cloud and public cloud architectures.

Application modernization requires new ways of building and operating infrastructure whether on-premises or in the cloud. Organizations have a choice between application modernization on-premises, application modernization in the public cloud, application modernization in hybrid clouds, or application modernizing with containers. In this blog post we'll explore how to choose the right application modernization approach for your organization based on where you are now and where you want to go!

Applications are the bridge between the business and customers. But as applications get more complex and distributed, it becomes increasingly challenging for IT executives to assure the performance of these business-critical applications at scale. When an organization’s reputation and revenue rely on a seamless customer experience, leaving application resourcing to guesswork or manual decision-making isn’t going to cut it. Even worse, it will result in skyrocketing costs – especially in the public cloud – and still won’t prevent performance degradation when demand spikes.

The world of technology is changing at a rapid pace. To stay competitive in this fast-paced environment, businesses must be able to adjust quickly and efficiently. The traditional on-premises IT model doesn't work with today's modern business needs because it limits the ability for change.

Happy Week after AWS re:Invent 2021. If you had the chance to attend in-person, then you know the event was exciting from all angles. From the first major in-person conference in the last two years, to new AWS services released, including new features, and programs.
