Easy Steps for Seamless Migration to Windows Azure
DETECT:
Detection entails knowing all existing workloads and applications in your infrastructure so that they can be prepared for migration. It's an extensive and time-consuming process, but it's critical to success. Missed applications and workloads can cause problems later on, so make sure your application inventory is complete and up to date. Go over virtual networks and storage solutions during the planning stage.
COMPUTE:
The cloud provides you with immediate access to computing resources. You should consider Azure Auto scale when planning. The auto scaling feature scales applications interactively to accommodate current performance requirements. You will also have more control over your computing environment with Azure virtual machines. An Azure VM provides the flexibility of virtualization without the need to purchase and maintain expensive physical hardware.
ASSESS:
After you've gained a better understanding of Azure products and how they fit into your migration strategy, it's time to assess your current infrastructure. You can use online tools to thoroughly review and document all applications, workloads, and processes that you currently use, such as Current Infrastructure, Current Network Architecture and Capacity, High Availability/Resilience Requirements, Performance Requirements, and Maintenance Process.
MAPPING:
After assessing your current environment, it's time to plan how to get your servers into Azure. The three most likely targets include, Azure by Microsoft, A Cloud Operating System Network, and Office 365 You'll almost certainly migrate efficiency and communication workloads to Office 365. Moving email to Microsoft Exchange Online, record management to SharePoint Online, and messaging services, voice, video, and shared application communications to Skype for Business Online are all possibilities.
MIGRATE
Now that you've assessed and mapped your existing workloads and applications, you're ready to migrate to Windows Azure. You can devote a significant amount of time to researching best practices, researching available tools, and preparing for the inevitable trial-and-error that comes with any new endeavor. However, the potential savings are not worth the risk of attempting a complex cloud migration without the necessary expertise. Do you need assistance planning and carrying out your Azure migration?

Why Choose Windows Azure?
Windows Azure provides a wide range of capabilities in the form of computing services for running applications, storage services, and a framework that supports multiple applications as well as host services and centrally manages them all. The main advantage of using Windows Azure is that it provides a distributed operating system where you can build, deploy, and test applications without worrying about the front-end interface. Besides, It lets you have a lower cost of IT management and eliminate the need to build on-premises resources with Windows Azure. It lets you quickly develop, modify, test, and deploy web-based applications. It lets you create, debug, test, and distribute web services. It lets you eliminate the need to buy or configure a security solution in Windows Azure. It lets you avoid installing and configuring a database cluster. It lets you perform costly off-premises services such as large data processing, high volume computation, and batch processing.

Have Questions on Windows Azure? We’ve got the Answers!
Windows Azure is a cloud-based operating system that allows business applications, services, and workloads to run in the cloud. This operates in a manner similar to traditional operating system functionality on any hardware platform, allowing applications to run in a virtual environment by providing them with essential physical hardware components and a set of services.
Develop ASP.NET websites, XML, and WCF web services without putting much effort with Windows Azure!
AppFabric, a cloud-based infrastructure service for cloud-running applications that enables the creation of combined access and distributes messaging across clouds and enterprises.
It brings together massive amounts of distributed processing power in a unified fashion. AppFabric is an interoperability component that includes services such as Access Control, Workflow, and Service Bus.
SQL Azure provides the core RDBMS as a service in the cloud environment. SQL Servers’ features can be used to create tables, indexes, and views, and Stored Procedures and triggers.
Application software can access SQL Azure data via Entity Framework, ADO.NET, and other Windows data access interfaces. Governance requirements are greatly reduced with SQL Azure.
Azure Virtual Machines (VM) provides virtualization flexibility for a wide range of computing solutions, including Linux, Windows Server, SQL Server, Oracle, IBM, SAP, and others.
Load balancing and auto-scaling are included at no extra charge in all current generation Virtual Machines. We recommend pairing your Virtual Machines with Managed Disks for optimal performance.
Well, there are different Windows Azure pricing options that you can choose from. However, we recommend you to go with the one that suits your needs the best. Go4hosting offers customizable windows azure pricing options. You can contact us for more details on Windows Azure pricing.
