Experience gained

IT internal resistance to Cloud can be easily reverted

Versatile Cloud control panel is a key part of the solution provided

Security is of a major concern and the Cloud customer must in detail

go through all his concerns with the Public Cloud Provider

Agility and total SLA initially, will drive big IT organizations to the

Public Cloud

Cost, Security, Agility and Total SLA will drive the smaller IT

organizations to the Public Cloud

Way forward

UAT & Development environment

Slowly all UAT and Development related servers and storage infrastructure are moving to Public Cloud

Disaster Recovery (DR) implementation

The existing DR architecture and new Business Continuity resources will be moved to Public Cloud

Legacy infrastructure

Applications that we plan to substitute in the next six months (6m) to one year (1yr) window are candidates for Public Cloud

The above migration path can be financially feasible due to the fact

that the relative Telco resources can be a part of the Total Public Cloud offering
