Diving In-depth: The Main Phases of Google Cloud
Adoption Framework

  • Stage 1: Define and Design the Correct Strategy

    -

    This is the first stage and very crucial according to us. It includes understanding your business closely and what its key success factors are. Here are the steps we follow in this stage:

    Step 1: Understand Business Motivation

    Cloud4C migration experts assess the current landscapes, applications and workloads. We guide business leaders and managers to move to the cloud with End of Support (EoS) of mission-critical technologies and regulatory compliance changes.

    Step 2: Identify Business Outcomes

    We design a DB migration plan based on the scope, blueprint, strategy and assessment analysis. We develop a data migration summary report with the result of migration verification, deviation and acceptance criteria.

    Step 3: Build the Business case

    Moving to the cloud provides enterprises with stronger fiscal health and benefits including physical asset recovery, operation cost reduction, cost avoidance, soft-cost reduction, headcount reductions and capital expense reductions. With in-depth understanding and expertise in migrations, our expert team at Cloud4C lays out all the necessary plans to build the business case for cloud.

    Step 4: Formulate Vision, Cloud strategy and Adoption plan

    As part of the Oracle Cloud Adoption Framework, Cloud4C experts provide enterprises with a clear and defined cloud strategy developed in line with the vision. The adoption plan is then crafted to achieve the desired business outcomes.

  • Stage 2: Plan the Journey

    -

    The key role that cloud adoption plays is to transform the cloud adoption strategy into a reality for enterprises. With the help of the cloud adoption plan, Cloud4C’s team of experts helps enterprises perform the technical tasks in tandem with desired business results.

    Step 1: A detailed picture of current IT landscape

    As part of the Oracle Cloud Adoption Framework, Cloud4C experts prepare a detailed analysis of the current IT landscape which covers Network, Security, Applications, OS, and Databases. This analysis also includes complete dependency mapping details to identify the points of failure, and provide the fastest path to recovery.

    Step 2: Migration blueprint

    Our team of migration experts focuses on developing a detailed migration blueprint that covers migration strategy, methodology and project milestones.

  • Stage 3: Getting Ready for the Migration

    -

    Step 1: Building the environment

    Cloud4C team prepares the landing zone design, covering network, security, compute, storage, security controls, cloud platform operations and governance policies. The blueprint focuses on the organization’s standard operating procedures with respect to security and governance.

  • Stage 4: Adopt the Right Migration Strategy

    -

    Step 1: Intuitive selection and innovation with the 6Rs

    Several cloud-native benefits can prove to be useful to older apps as the solution is modernized to their advantage. Cloud4C makes it easy to decide among the famous 6Rs. What are they?

    Google Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) | Cloud4C (21)

    REPURCHASE

    The enterprise drops the existing on-prem license of the software and moves on to the cloud-based version of the same software, essentially repurchasing the license.

    Google Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) | Cloud4C (22)

    REHOST

    This is to identify the applications and existing workloads to be migrated and lift and shift them to the cloud ecosystem.

    Google Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) | Cloud4C (23)

    REPLATFORM

    This process involves the same methodology as that of rehosting platforms and applications. However, some customizations are made here to ensure that the platforms run optimally on the cloud.

    Google Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) | Cloud4C (24)

    REFACTOR/RE-ARCHITECT

    This phase or approach involves the most effort and expenses as the existing on-prem applications, databases, and workloads are significantly overhauled, often at the codebase levels, to move them to the cloud.

    Google Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) | Cloud4C (25)

    RETIRE

    This involves the recognition of applications or platforms that are redundant and causing unnecessary load and shooting up operational costs. They may be retired and replaced with a cloud-friendlier version.

    Google Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) | Cloud4C (26)

    RETAIN

    Businesses might opt to retain some legacy, on-prem applications as they are delivering high performances and are linked to critical projects.

  • Stage 5: Robust Governance for End to End Ownership

    -

    The Oracle governance assessment maps the entire customer network, systems, and applications on OCI, to ensure scalability, high performance and resilience, alongside compliance. Cloud4C offers proactive optimization of Oracle governance tools to establish robust governance processes as per organizations’ operating procedure, to ensure continuity, compliances, cost efficiency, and scalability of operations.
