A comparison of on-premise to cloud migration approaches.
In: European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing ESOCC 2013, 11-13 Sept 2013, Malaga, Spain.
While cloud computing has certainly gained attention, the potential for increased uptake of the technology is still large.
As a consequence, how to move and migrate to the cloud is an unanswered question for many organisations. Gaining an understanding of cloud migration processes from on-premise architectures is our aim here.
For this purpose, we look at three provider-driven case studies based on the common three layers of cloud computing: Infrastructure (IaaS), platform (PaaS) and software (SaaS) as a service. These shall be complemented by a fourth, independent systems integration perspective.
We extract common migration process activities for the layer-specific processes and discuss commonalities, differences and open issues.
The results presented are based on expert interviews and focus groups held with major international cloud solution providers and independent consultants.
