When a Clearer Path is Required
Complexity of Technology• The complex nature of enterprise applications todayScope and Nature of Dependencies• large number of application components, and
interdependencies Getting to Cloud without Breaking the Bank• Potential cost savings and the options to achieve themBusiness and User Considerations• Impact on the organizations infrastructure and usersNetwork and Connectivity Considerations• Wide-area communication costs that may result from the
migration

Cost Shouldn’t Be a Barrier
Accurate Cost Planning• Cloud cost analysis based on your
organizations actual workload performance
Optimized Cost Analysis• Compare the cost of what you have vs.
what your actual workload usageAnalyze for Cloud or Data Center• Stack your physical and virtual
workload I/O using a variety measurements
See the cost difference

Improve Workload Migrations
Compare Workload Usage Using Many Variable
• Asset and Performance AnalysisSee your IT infrastructure assets and current performance levels
• IT BenchmarkingEstablish a baseline for your IT Infrastructure
• Cloud I/O WorkloadsPredict what IaaS components you really need
• Cloud Solution PricingCompare your usage profile to the models of various providers, side-by-side

Don’t Let Migrations Get Out of Control
• Dependent Workload Relationship – See all servers in one view and their inter-dependent relationship
• Infrastructure Insight – Get insights into what network requirements will be once the business moves a server (or group of servers)
• Application and Server Communication – Valuable network communication information and build maps of server communications

No Migration Plan? No Problem!• Move What, Where– Most organizations
want an easy way to identify all dependent workloads, then build server groups targeted for migration
• Capacity Planning – Most capacity planners are designed on what you have, not what you need. You need a better way to determine network and workload needs
• Move Plan Exporting– Constructing and moving workloads is a complex process. CloudScape makes this process easier!

Easy Workload Construction
• Faster Move Group PlanningAllows fast assignment of dependent workloads into move groups
• Performance ValidationActively simulate workloads prior to migration
• Leading Workload Migration IntegrationPoint-&-Click workload migration integration with companies like RiverMeadows migration platforms reduces the complexity even further
Assign all associated servers to a single move plan for fast exportations
