Cloud Migration

Which migration strategy works best depends on many factors, which is why Hege.Digital always starts with a comprehensive workload assessment: How can the existing infrastructure be transferred to a corresponding Azure cloud architecture? Can all applications run on the Azure cloud computing platform? What types of Azure VM machines are required? This gradually results in a clear picture and a recommendation for one or more of the following strategies for cloud migration:

• Rehost: The existing infrastructure will be migrated to the Azure Cloud according to the “lift and shift” principle and will continue to use virtual machines and databases. Triggers here are often expiring server or service contracts.
• Refactor: Individual applications are optimized for the cloud environment and adapted accordingly.
• Rearchitect: Development of a new application architecture that is based on the Azure environment in the public cloud and takes innovative cloud services into account.

Cloud Compliance

In Germany and Europe in particular, security and compliance play a crucial role when using a public cloud environment such as Microsoft Azure. That’s why these topics are at the top of the list in Hege.Digital. This also and especially applies to third-party software and open source components that run in the Azure cloud. Regardless of whether it is SQL Server, Oracle or MySQL – we store and manage your data securely and carefully. With its data centers and cloud services, Microsoft fulfills numerous regional, global and industry-specific security standards and certifications.

In addition, security is guaranteed at various levels and thus meets the highest requirements. Starting with the access options of personnel to the systems, securing the data centers via video surveillance and biometric two-factor access control to built-in protection mechanisms of the compute platform to prevent unjustified access to customer data and to delete data securely and permanently.
