4 Phases of a Cloud Migration

I still remember being in 5th grade and going to an all-school assembly.

The speaker was a man who had spent more than a year on an epic journey: he had walked around the world.

We asked him how he did it. How did he make this impossible trip across the earth? His answer: "I simply took one step at a time."

Wow, that makes even a daunting journey seem possible.

It may be the same type of mindset that is needed when it comes to cloud migration. It is often a daunting challenge, one faced by many of the InfoSec pros we serve at SecureWorld.

They've told us about starts and stops and speedbumps along their organization's path to the cloud.

A new cloud transformation framework report, by 451 Research, puts it this way:

"Like great literature, the cloud transformation journey has highs and lows. A protagonist with a dream takes a chance and makes progress, at least in the beginning. But she faces challenges, and at points considers taking a different path. With help from her friends, she overcomes the challenges, finally reaching a happy ending."

How about labeling these different stages in the cloud transformation journey the report cites in the paragraph above?

Those stages are:

  1. Great Expectations
  2. Wuthering Heights
  3. War and Peace
  4. Brave New World
