Proactive, on-demand management of Cloud and existing IT assets.
Cloud management services are a set of capabilities to help you all aspects of your Cloud journey and your digital ransformation related sourcing, implementation, and management needs. Get step by step assistance for your Cloud journey – from initiation to deployment to management of ongoing operations to Cloud cost optimization, monitoring, and security.

IaaS Migration solutions

Cloud migrations are often more complicated than just a quick life-and-Shift. Identifing the right workload without disruption of services can be challenging. Mindware offers a complete IaaS lifecycle services to help partners enable opportunities. Partners benefit by handling larger work-loaded in less time frames to increase consumption.

Cloud Assessment and Planning Service

Mindware’s team guides you with the right strategy to Cloud adoption. We provide a proper roadmap and guidance to optimize your workloads, ready your staff, systems, processes and tools for cloud. We help kickstart your digital transformation journey by helping you determine which workloads to move to cloud, in what fashion, so that you can quantify cloud benefits. The cloud assessment and planning services help you get maximum value from your existing infrastructure and cloud to enable a digitally transformed organization. Our services include thorough IT assessment; planning and building strategies; visualizing, developing and preparing architecture; cloud migration consulting and estimating economics for a cost optimized infrastructure model to provide a scalable, agile and secure business environment.

Our assessment and planning services help you address your key challenges.

  • How to get more agility, speed, and performance for your IT assets?
  • How to decide between private and public cloud deployments and how to factor in both for your organization’s short to medium term IT strategy?
  • How to decide which apps to take to cloud?
  • How to control ‘zombie apps’ or ‘shadow IT’ or workloads consuming more resources than value they are delivering?
  • How to address changes in organization and staff after cloud migration?

Cloud assessment and planning process

Assessment

Assessment

In initial phase, we assess your enterprise environment, infrastructure, workloads and applications. Assessing applications and workloads for cloud readiness will prepare you to determine which applications and data should be moved to a cloud environment and which delivery models – public, private or hybrid can be supported.

Planning

Planning

During planning, we help build infrastructure maps and application migration strategy depending on app performance and dependency and help identify shadow IT. An application to be migrated will be interconnected at many places, so application owners need to address the impact of these connections before migration.

Preparation

Preparation

This phase is to determine your app groups cloud viability, readiness and migration associated costs. Apps will be prioritized depending upon their score for cloud readiness and their mission criticality to your business. In this phase, we’ll right-size any under or over utilized resources and address security and privacy issues as well.

Visualization

Visualization

In this phase, we group apps depending on inter connectivity and dependencies, modify them with insights from assessment and infrastructure mapping. App integration is divided into three broad categories- process, data and presentation integration.

Estimation

Estimation

In this phase, we create a comparison of TCO of running applications in cloud or on-premises with precise inputs on infrastructure, tools used, training, labor etc. and calculate the ROI of cloud migration from on-premise.

Cloud Migration and Deployment service

With infrastructure migration and cloud deployment services, get your workloads to cloud with zero business interruption. Our standardized migration and deployment methodology ensures seamless migration of enterprise data and applications to cloud.
Our cloud migration services help you address your key challenges.

  • What application components should you migrate – web servers, databases, storage data, apps, VMs or entire data center?
  • What kind of cloud migration strategy will be involved – will it involve code factoring or re-platforming?
  • What scalability, availability, auto scaling and security patterns should be introduced in apps?
  • Will the migration be completely automated and which tools will be used for it?
  • How will the apps be tested in cloud for availability and performance before being turned over?
Cloud Migration  and Deployment service

Services

Decommission

Decommission

We shut down obsolete and inefficient business applications while keeping historical data accessible. All steps are followed for compliance and security purposes.

Lift and Shift

Lift and Shift

As-is migration of data and apps from on-premise to cloud. This provides immediate benefits in terms of scalability, elasticity, cost or features.

Re-platform

Re-platform

Minor architecting or code changes to enable an application to work on a different platform. This is done to remove performance bottlenecks and increase an app’s operability.

Re-architect

Re-architect

Rearchitecting the apps for PaaS and right -sizing the resources running an application.

Orchestrate

Orchestrate

Proper coordination of how app components will interact and move forward in migration process. Necessary for rack migration, data center or complex apps.

New Deployments

New Deployments

Deployment, POC and provisioning guidance for new apps. This includes dev-testing, staging and testing in the required IDE. Also includes architecture design and solution design guidance.

Application Lifecycle

Application Lifecycle

Comprehensive application development lifecycle including app development, governance and maintenance.

Cloud and Infrastructure Operation

With cloud operations services, we help you deliver cost-effective, high quality and secure application services on demand. We help improve your IT capabilities, analytics, reduced lower cost of ownership and better asset flexibility.
Our infrastructure services will help you address a number of key IT concerns.

  • Have IT Infrastructure that supports scalable and agile services.
  • Optimize your existing infrastructure for better performance, reduce costs, streamline, increase security and leverage automation.
  • Help your business achieve scale, speed and cost benefits from the cloud, while accelerating your time to market.Help you with multi-cloud integration, DevOps practices, financial planning and guide you with modern technologies like containers.

Cloud Cost Optimization

Cloud Cost Optimization Let us help you optimize your cloud costs. Cloud cost services help optimize your cloud spending by providing visibility into what’s lying unused, where you are overspending and how you can better streamline your existing and expected cloud expenditure. Our services include resource usage and spend analytics, spend and usage forecasting, tagging and audit trails, custom invoicing, capacity planning and resource optimization.
One of the biggest fears associated with cloud adoption is the runaway spending fear. Cloud is considered unpredictable being on a PAYG model that can scale resources on demand and charged as a utility bill.
We help you your cloud spending by performing deductive and predictive analytics on your past and future cloud pending respectively. Our cloud costs optimization and efficiency services will help you address a number of key cloud cost concerns:

  • How to forecast and budget cloud spending?
  • How to find out which department is consuming how much cloud?
  • Which cloud services to choose without blowing away my IT budget?
