Google's Compute Engine provides a secure and customizable compute service that enables the creation and running of virtual machines (VMs) on Google's infrastructure.
Compute Engine's diverse range of VMs and its comprehensive management tools provide flexibility and efficiency in migrating VMs, optimizing resource utilization, and deploying new applications.
Premier Cloud will help choose between different types of VMs and manage them effectively to run your workloads in ways that best suit your needs.
Embarking on a cloud migration journey signifies a pivotal shift from your current infrastructure to an optimized environment leveraging Google Cloud's robust offerings. This transformation is not a singular event but a strategic progression through four definitive phases:
Assess
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to gain a deep understanding of your existing environment, assessing which workloads are being migrated and which VMs could support them. This involves inventorying your apps, identifying dependencies, calculating costs, and benchmarking performance to lay a solid foundation for migration.
Plan
In this phase, we set up the basic infrastructure for the VM migration. This phase encompasses setting up your identity management, resource hierarchies, project structures, networking, and crafting a migration strategy that aligns with your organizational goals.
Deploy
We start transitioning your workloads to Google Cloud with a systematic deployment process. During the migration, we may fine-tune your infrastructure to accommodate new demands, ensuring a seamless integration of your workloads into the cloud.
Optimize
This phase is focused on maximizing efficiency in performance, cost, scalability, and integrating next-gen tech like AI and machine learning to help your business drive innovation.
Greenfield Deploymets
If your organization wants to set up its Google Cloud infrastructure without using any previous workloads, our team can help build your infrastructure from scratch by building your custom-design landing zone.
Elements of a Landing Zone
Identity & Access Management
Onboarding users securely and efficiently, including identity provisioning options, architecture decisions, and strategies for consolidating existing user accounts
Resource Hierarchy & Policies
Structuring your resources on Google Cloud by taking into consideration your organization's requirements, compliance, and future events
Network Design
Choosing the right network design based on factors including centralized or decentralized control, security requirements, and scalability
Security
Taking important security measures such as service account key management, data exfiltration mitigation, continuous monitoring, and more
