From on-premises, to the cloud, through hybrid environments. A journey description leveraging real use cases.

This presentation addresses the following topic(s):

• When is cloud more efficient than on-premises computing, and vice versa? How should these hybrid environments be managed? (Alternately: Discuss the efficiencies and inefficiencies of operating all on-prem, all cloud, and hybrid.)
• Machine learning and HPC: Each worthy of its own investment, or better together? (Alternately: Marriage for the ages, or heading for divorce?)

In this presentation Thierry will drive you through two project carried on by the Do IT Now team. These projects exemplify all the hurdles and challenges you might be facing when migrating workloads from legacy on-premises infrastructures to hybrid- or cloud environments. During his presentation Thierry will discuss how to use a hybrid-cloud solution to facilitate a Lift & shift approach, and the difficulties you might be facing with regards to: • project management; • outdated legacy software; • tighter security policies constraints; • data integrity and qualification; • ensuring business continuity; • choosing the right partners and tools; • choosing the right Cloud provider.
