Zooce Elevate – The Cloud Migration Service
Today, organizations requires increased agility and improved cost/performance ratios. Our Cloud Migration Service provides you with solutions that improve your organizational opportunities as they improve your bottom line. We have designed a set of important services that come standard with every implementation, including our very special offering of IT as a Service (ITaaS).
Plan
This is the first step in the implementation of a Zooce Cloud. In this phase, we perform an analysis of the current computing environment, and explore growth and capacity plans for your organization. We take a look at your existing assets, incorporate identified goals and objectives, and review the consumption and collaboration requirements for both technical and non-technical users. We perform a high level review of your physical and virtual resources and workloads (and map dependencies between them). We determine the requirements of services critical to supporting the workloads and identify areas that can be positively impacted by consolidation or added resources.
Design
Design is the second step in the implementation process. We take the requirements collected from the planning stage and formulate the detailed implementation plan. This phase includes providing you with the fixed costs to build and deploy your Zooce Cloud and also provides you with an estimated cost for ongoing monthly usage. The deliverable from this phase includes the details about capacity (including burst), resource configuration, a virtualized operating system architecture, and details about applications, networking, compliance, monitoring and service levels. It includes the new cloud architecture (servers, storage, network topology) and identifies areas where the cloud environment may benefit the organization.
Prep
This is our third step and comes after your approval of the project plan. We will bring our upgraded and virtualized physical environment to your location and work with your team to build your cloud and migrate your world to it. Using our Zooce Elevate methodology we will migrate all of your data and decommission your old boxes. Your entire computing environment will work (and be tested) from your location prior to migrating to the Zooce Cloud. There will be no downtime as we build the parallel production environment and test everything prior to deployment.
Deploy
This step comes after you have had the chance to test and authorize the move, is the process of physically moving the into the Zooce Cloud. Within a matter of a few hours, you will be up and running with better performance, added security and lower costs.
Monitor
An ongoing service that watches over your Zooce Cloud to ensure that the performance goals are being met, and that the resourcing is ensuring an optimal operating environment.
