How do I switch from a dedicated server hosting to a cloud platform?

The benefits of the cloud technology are several and many organizations are transiting from the traditional hosting to the cloud to gain better productivity. Adopt the following steps to have a smooth changeover from the dedicated server to the cloud.

1. Do a detailed valuation of your present dedicated server setting. List out the applications and files such as databases, websites etc. This is crucial as you may not want to move all the data to the cloud and discard all the dormant and outdated data.

2. Categorize the applications and workload that are reliant on one another and move these applications concurrently to ensure a smooth and seamless migration as well as working on the cloud servers.

3. You will be moving to the private cloud environment with dedicated scalable services that will give you better reliability, availability, flexibility, and security in addition to the other benefits of the cloud.

4. Do all the application updates and hardware upgrades before you start your migration for safety and security reasons of your data.

5. Do a test run and make sure you have not missed out on something that could create issues later in the cloud.
