We've discovered a proven process for a successful #cloud #migration, and we've laid it out for you all to see. What challenges are you facing in your current setup, and how could a smooth transition help you achieve your goals? Let's talk! #ERPMigration #Implementation #ManagedServices

"Hybrid multi-cloud to the rescue!" "Why should the cloud be treated differently to on-premise?" ....just two of the most recent hot-takes I've seen from vendors 😴 Here's my 2p on the recent UniSuper outage: 1️⃣ Deleting production data should have no impact on backups, and you don't need expensive third-party software to achieve this. All of the major public clouds provide managed backup services which support multi-region, and multi-account. 2️⃣ VMware adds an unnecessary layer of abstraction and complexity, not to mention cost. It's these very vendors that push these architectures, selling their "hybrid multi-cloud" utopia. Would this have happened to a Well-Architected, cloud native platform? - highly unlikely Bottom line? it's easy to migrate to the cloud, it's another thing entirely to fully embrace it.

Multi-cloud is too expensive I'm sure you've either thought so, or heard someone say so. Do you know the risk of going to a single cloud for everything? 135 billion dollars... Let that sink in. That is what it could've cost an Australian Pension fund had they not used a redundant backup to a separate solution when their GCP account was deleted. So the next time your CFO tells you that it's too expensive to set up redundancy outside of your major cloud provider, show them this article https://lnkd.in/dqiccesH

This was a pretty eye-opening study. When you take into account all the costs — based on real data from actual users, analyzed independently by Forrester — there are some pretty significant savings to be made for enterprises moving their Linux workloads to RHEL in Azure. Check out the study! And likewise, really appreciate the partnership, Gunnar Hellekson and all at Red Hat!

New study results have revealed that combining Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Azure can lead to unique benefits not found on every public #cloud or #Linux distribution. Organizations running a #hybridcloud infrastructure with this combination are able to leverage the benefits of both on-premises infrastructure and cloud services while maintaining control over critical data and applications with a common tool. They also experience significant cost savings, with a 60% reduction in legacy solution costs. For more information on the unique benefits of combining Red Hat Enterprise Linux and #Azure, check out the full study. https://lnkd.in/gsM8SqSJ
