Essential Steps on the Cloud Journey

Optimization is no longer optional

Nearly all enterprises now conduct business or run applications on public, private, or hybrid clouds. Cloud computing offers many technical and business benefits, including:

Greater flexibility through infrastructure that scales on demand
Heightened security measures
Anytime anywhere accessibility to mission-critical apps and services
Faster development
Simplified collaboration

Migrating to the cloud is step one, but the cloud is far from a set-it-and-forget-it asset. As businesses grow in cloud maturity, their focus should shift from migration to optimization.By committing to continuous optimization, organizations can maximize their cloud environment’s potential as an innovation accelerator while eliminating waste and making the best use of their resources.

Curb unnecessary spending
Flag underutilized features
Increase developer productivity
Correct the mismanagement of tools
Make data-driven decisions for improvement and growth

This book examines the primary components of a cloud optimization strategy along with solutions to support optimization efforts across the enterprise.
