Rehost vs. Replatform vs. Re-archictect: What’s the Difference

Description

Gains

Quick and cheap migration of on-premises workloads to IaaS without code modifications.

15-20% savings over on-premises application hosting.

Migration of modified workloads to the cloud (no change in the workload architecture is needed).
Limited cloud capabilities are available: improved performance, fault-tolerance, and scalability.

Up to 450% ROI, 35%-80% savings over on-premises application hosting.

Moving on-premises workloads to PaaS by making them cloud-native (or near native).
Full scope of cloud capabilities (including cloud auto-scaling, serverless computing, etc.)

Up to 470% ROI, 50% faster deployments.

How Long Does Cloud Migration Take?


	There are multiple factors that influence the migration timeline, e.g., the chosen cloud migration method, the complexity or workloads and data volume to migrate, the scope of the target infrastructure, the required code and configuration changes. Based on ScienceSoft’s experience, a typical migration of a simple app takes ~2–2.5 months, medium and complex apps – 6+ months, a DWH – ~2–8 months.

How Much Does Cloud Migration Cost?

$20,000–$250,000

For a medium/large application.

$500,000+

For a large app with deep modernization (e.g., re-architecting into microservices).

$140,000–$280,000

For the migration to a cloud DWH like Azure Synapse or Amazon Redshift (for a company with 500–1,000 employees).

$280,000–$700,000

For the migration to a cloud DWH like Azure Synapse or Amazon Redshift (for a company with 1,000+ employees).

The Key Stages of Our Cloud Migration Projects

Project discovery

Application/DWH audit.
Security and compliance assessment.
Dependencies mapping.
Requirements gathering.
Preparing cloud migration project plan.

Data migration

For complex and data-intensive migrations, our team works out a strategy and chooses optimal data migration tools. In addition, we:

Create scripts to perform data extracting, cleaning, and loading to the target environment.
Build a tool or create a script to automate data migration (automation is optional and depends on the data availability requirements).
Perform and validate trial data migration.
Execute massive data migration and test the results.

Updating application/DWH architecture and code, if required

Mock or pilot migration (optionally)

To reduce the potential risks, we can start the migration with:

Moving your application or DWH to a beta environment before migrating to the production instances in order to test and fine-tune their functionality and cloud services configuration (mock migration).
Migrating a small sample to the production environment to identify the impact on the to-be-migrated application, the applications it is integrated with and other existing infrastructure component (pilot migration).

Phased migration of all chosen workloads

Testing and going live

Maintenance and continuous support (optional)

Common Questions about Migration Services Answered

How can I be sure that my migration investments will pay off?

Answer

As a rule, we start with cloud migration consulting to assess the feasibility of your migration project and calculate the TCO and ROI of the solution-to-be.

How do you choose the best cloud option for a specific migration project?

Answer

Each cloud provider offers different IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services. It’s our job as a vendor-neutral cloud migration company to be proficient in the cloud offerings and help you find the best match for your needs. Our recommendation will be a result of a thorough analysis of your budget constraints and requirements for the cloud infrastructure, compliance, security, performance, availability, and many other factors.

Should a legacy data warehouse continue working simultaneously while the data is being migrated?

Answer

When it comes to large and complex data migrations, we tend to have both cloud and on-premises data warehouses running simultaneously during the migration and a short period after. This makes us always ready to roll back in case we face issues that cannot be solved immediately, thus avoiding business disruptions.

Can cloud migration result in application misbehavior?

Answer

We provide automated testing to check app business logic, so we can continuously monitor how introduced changes influence it at no additional cost.

How can I control the migration project’s progress?

Answer

We ensure cooperation transparency to give you full visibility into the project progress. We work in adherence with an SLA that outlines the expected timelines, responsibilities, deliverables, and KPIs. You also receive regular reports on the completed tasks.
