Implement best Cloud practices from DevOps to Security and Governance to set a strong foundation to migrate infrastructure and to run your AI workloads in the Cloud.

To take full advantage of the Cloud and AI it’s critical to establish a best practices foundation regardless of the public Cloud platform you choose. These consist of automation, security, governance as well having a good plan for how you will adopt Cloud in your organization. A good plan will help you choose the right Cloud services and their integration. Doing this work up front will pave the way for any Cloud project you do whether it’s a migration or an AI implementation.

• Cost optimization

  Cloud allows a pay-as-you-go model where you only pay for what you use. There is no need for a large capital investment and this allows you to grow at your own pace. There are many tools that enable real time cost monitoring and optimization for maximum visibility.




• Capacity and performance

  Public Clouds have capacity and modern hardware that most companies can never afford to have on their own. As a result, you have unlimited capacity on the fastest and most modern hardware imaginable to use when you wish. Moreover, public Clouds have many Managed Services in most technical areas, such as Data, AI, Analytics and much more. These Managed Services enable you to build solutions fast without having to build systems or buy software.




• Customization

  The bottom line is that on today's leading public Clouds, you can construct any solution imaginable. Your most challenging issues become manageable, with no problem too large to tackle. The vast array of sophisticated services offered by these leading Clouds makes this feasible, something that was unimaginable for most of IT's history.




• Business agility

  It has become impossible for companies to compete unless they are leveraging the Cloud at its fullest. Unless you modernize and go all in on the Cloud it’s only a matter of time before your competition starts taking your market share. Cloud allows companies to pivot and move much faster vs their peers that are using their own data centers or ones hesitating on migrating to a Cloud-based infrastructure.




• Innovation readiness

  With the AI revolution unfolding right in front of our eyes it’s clearer than ever that being on the Cloud is a prerequisite to participate in all emerging technologies. Unless you have your data and applications in the Cloud you won’t be able to fully leverage AI or other emerging technologies and their benefits.
