Cloud Strategic Planning

 

Cloud computing is one of the key technologies that is transforming the role of enterprise IT departments from running back office transactional systems of record to running cutting edge real-time systems of engagement. The reality, though, is that a move to the cloud cannot be executed indiscriminately. A proper cloud strategy should take into account the strategic and technological fit for each application and environment. In addition, the expected investment cost and business benefit should be modeled and planned for accordingly.

 

TAG-Cloud offers end-to-end cloud computing strategic consulting to further transform the way organizations leverage IT. Incorporating the strategic transformation of processes, technologies and capabilities, our approach ensures the optimal mix of enhanced agility, reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and maximal  Return on Investment (ROI). We use a highly structured approach to establish your business needs, assess the underlying technology components (such as infrastructure, applications, processes, policies, etc.), and then help clients to deploy the appropriate cloud computing components to deliver reduced costs, enhanced agility, quick service delivery and improved scalability.

 

TAG-Cloud develops an executable strategy to achieve your cloud vision by:

 

·        Highlighting business process support and service level requirements for key application workloads

·        Evaluating the suitability of these applications for migration to  the cloud

·        Determining an optimal cloud model, among several architectural options, for application placement

·        The establishment of plans and implementation of the right cloud strategy based on clients' technical and business objectives

Cloud Deployment Modeling

 

TAG-Cloud can provide assistance in the development, customization, migration, deployment and management of cloud solutions since there are several different deployment models for implementing cloud technology, and each has its advantages and disadvantages with significant implications for any organization researching or actively considering a cloud deployment.

 

The main cloud computing models:

 

1-    Public Cloud

TAG-Cloud guides its clients to deploy multiple types of public cloud infrastructures on the client’s behalf to support their needs.

 

2-    Private Cloud

TAG-Cloud helps to build custom private clouds that operate within the clients’ environment with the essential orchestration tools to easily operate what they already have in order to keep the systems operating at peak performance. 

 

3-    Hybrid Cloud

A hybrid cloud solution allows its user to move systems between public and private cloud, allocating resources where needed.  It is a cohesive environment where TAG-Cloud can fully customize and help its clients to deploy and manage their systems as they require.

 

Cloud Service Discovery

 

TAG-Cloud aims to support its clients in finding a cloud service that fits their business needs and help them to understand and manage all of the cloud services being used in their organizations.

 

1.     Infrastructure as a Cloud Service (IaaS)

It is a form of cloud computing that provides virtualized computing resources over the Internet. TAG-Cloud guides which solutions to use based on the client’s needs and vision.

 

2.     Platform as a Cloud Service (PaaS)

TAG-Cloud helps their clients facilitate the deployment of applications or services without buying and managing the underlying hardware and software and provisioning hosting capabilities including facilities for application design, application development, testing, and deployment, as well as services such as team collaboration, web service integration, marshalling, database integration, security, scalability, storage, persistence, state management, application versioning, application instrumentation, and developer community facilitation.

 

3.     Software as a Cloud Service (SaaS)

In this type, TAG-Cloud helps its clients to build on-demand software through their clouds by installing and operating application software in the cloud to meet changing work demand. SaaS allows a business the potential to reduce IT operational costs by outsourcing hardware and software maintenance and support. This enables the business to reallocate IT operations costs away from hardware/software spending and personnel expenses towards meeting other goals.

 

Hybrid Solutions Consulting

 

TAG-Cloud helps its clients in finding the best hybrid solution in the cloud computing environment by implementing a mix of on-premises, private cloud and public cloud services with orchestration between the two platforms. By allowing workloads to move between private and public clouds as computing needs and costs change, hybrid solutions give businesses greater flexibility and more data deployment options.

 

Desktop Virtualization architecture

 

TAG-Cloud helps you to find the best comprehensive desktop environment management system that suits your applications and business needs and thus allows for a highly flexible and much more secure desktop delivery model.
