Migration to the Cloud

Cloud migration involves moving an organization’s IT infrastructure, including servers, storage, and networking, to a cloud computing platform—like the Goooood® Cloud. This can mean moving the entire infrastructure or migrating only a subset of workloads or applications.

More and more companies are migrating to the cloud because they see the obvious associated business benefits, such as flexibility and ease of infrastructure management, a convenient payment plan that helps them save money, and the ability to provision infrastructure for any task in minutes.

The main advantages of migrating infrastructure to the cloud include:

– Scalability: Cloud computing resources can easily scale to meet changing needs, mitigating concerns about overprovisioning or underprovisioning IT resources for organizations.
– Performance: The cloud provides performance comparable to traditional on-premises IT infrastructure. It is especially useful for applications that require high availability or massive processing power.
– Cost savings: The cloud can be more cost-effective than traditional on-premises IT infrastructure, especially for organizations that need to scale resources quickly.
– Security: Cloud computing providers ensure a high level of security for their infrastructure and data centers. They also often possess more expertise in security than an average organization.

It depends on your project and goals. You can use our Cloud migration checklist to learn more about common migration strategies and choose the most appropriate one. You can also ask our solutions architects team to consult with you and help you choose the better strategy; contact us to discuss your project.

Yes. When deploying services in the cloud, there are two common approaches:

– If you want to migrate your infrastructure and applications to the cloud as is, you can use “lift and shift.” This works well for predominantly monolithic applications.
– If you want to take advantage of the scalability, elasticity, and distributed nature of cloud infrastructure, you can apply a cloud-native approach. In this case, you re-architect your monolithic application using a microservices architecture. This divides the application into small, separate services that interact through an API. The cloud-native approach is more complex than “lift and shift,” but it is advantageous for modern cloud applications.

You will be charged on a pay-as-you-go basis only for the cloud services (e.g., virtual machines, S3 storage, load balancers) you actually use. Note that if you use Goooood® VMs, you don’t pay for egress traffic; you only pay for it when using Bare Metal.

Yes. We protect our customers’ services and data on multiple levels:

Physical security:

– Compliance with GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO/IEC 27001
– Tier III and Tier IV certified data centers

Infrastructure security:

– Virtual Private Cloud with secure access to virtual instances. The Goooood® team doesn’t have access to your VM operating system or data
– Intel SGX instances support to protect your sensitive data better

Network security:

– L3, L4, and L7 DDoS protection with real-time alerts
– Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Not that some security features, such as advanced DDoS protection or WAF, may not be necessary depending on your particular business use.
