Microsoft Azure is one of the most widely used public clouds available. But if you are moving your largest, most complex workloads to Azure, there are a few things you need to keep in mind to ensure that your migration goes smoothly. In this blog post, we’ll cover tips on how to have a better Azure cloud migration for your most mission-critical workloads.

While many companies are moving their applications to the cloud in either a cloud-first or hybrid cloud strategy, there is much hesitation around moving mission-critical databases, such as Oracle, to the public cloud. Oracle requires ultra-fast performance and thus far, the public cloud vendors have not been able to deliver performance at that level. But by leveraging the Silk Platform on your cloud vendor of choice, you can achieve up to 10x faster performance than you’d get through native cloud alone, resulting in the same level of performance – or higher – than you see on-prem. Not convinced? Here are 8 reasons why you need Silk to power your Oracle databases on the cloud:
There are many ways to go about migrating your applications to the cloud. One of these methods is to completely refactor your applications for the specific cloud vendor you are moving the applications to. In this post, we’ll explain what application refactoring for the cloud is, what the benefits and limitations are, when you should choose to refactor, and what the best practices are.
Whether your company is born-in-the-cloud or you have a corporate initiative to migrate more data to the cloud, there are a few risks and challenges with putting your “crown jewels” into the hands of AWS, Azure, or GCP. In this post, we’ll outline what to look out for and how to circumnavigate around these challenges.
I recently published a post about AWS’s io2 Block Express on LinkedIn. After reading it, a friend called me — yes, he actually called me on the phone! — to ask me what my thoughts are about the new GP3 offering announced during re:invent alongside the io2 Block Express offering. And I thought it would be a good idea to share them with you as well.
With the rise of the big three public cloud vendors, many companies began to adopt “Cloud-First” strategies. The cloud took the burden of managing infrastructure off of the hands of employees and freed them up to focus on more important tasks. It’s more elastic compared to on-prem, so there is less waste. You can easily spin up new environments to meet a global customer base, versus setting up a whole new datacenter. And with advanced services from the major public cloud vendors, it’s hard to resist putting all your applications in the cloud. However, many soon have come to realize that Cloud-First wasn’t necessarily the best strategy as some workloads are better suited for on-prem or private cloud infrastructure.
