Cloud Migration Solutions from Alibaba Cloud ISV

This article is all about Alibaba Cloud Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Solutions for Cloud Migration.

By Rupal Shirpurkar, Business Head (Cloud BU – APAC) of Click2Cloud Inc. and Alibaba Cloud MVP

Many enterprises have on-premises infrastructures that hamper them with heavy workloads, complex management, capital expenses, reliability, and scalability challenges. To overcome such major problems, enterprises switch their workload from on-premises to the cloud. Migrating workloads to the cloud save time and reduce capital expenses, increases reliability, flexibility, scalability, and optimizes costs. Cost, budget, and infra management are about maintaining feasibly with the migration option.

Migration requires planning and strategy. Let's take a look at some of the challenges enterprises to face during cloud migration:

  • Cloud Migration Assessments
  • Steps for Cloud Migration
  • Cost Management
  • Security and Compliance Considerations

Alibaba Cloud Migration for ISVs in Three Easy Steps

You can overcome all these challenges mentioned above with Alibaba Cloud Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Solutions for Cloud Migration. Alibaba Cloud ISV Solution for Cloud Migration offers Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) the optimal cloud migration solutions to ready your cloud business with the shortest path.

For small to medium-sized enterprises (SME), the ISV solutions for cloud migration provide easy-to-use, more elastic, and cost-efficient cloud services to their customers to gain more visibility towards migration approaches. Alibaba Cloud understands the requirements of its customers and can visualize their business needs. They support SMEs to scale the business and enhance their customer journey towards cloud migration.

Alibaba Cloud ISV Solutions for Cloud Migration is tailored according to the best practices of working with SME customers. Alibaba Cloud provides your SME customers faster integration time and greater cost savings.

Step 1: Set up Global Cloud Networking

An ISV's success depends on building a reliable global cloud network. With Alibaba Cloud, you can accomplish this in just three steps. As a first step, create network resources, such as virtual private clouds (VPCs) and switches. Next, modify network security policies based on routing plans and subnet access control lists (ACLs). Finally, to deploy the application on the cloud, deploy resources, such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and Server Load Balancer (SLB). Ensure the security of your environment by configuring policies, such as resource whitelists.

Featured Solutions

  • In three simple steps, you can deploy your global cloud networking in less than 20 minutes.
  • A High Degree of Flexibility: Your network resources can be adjusted dynamically depending on your stage.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Only pay for public network resources and invest in internal network resources as needed

Step 2: Migrate to the Cloud

Solution 2A: Cloud-Based Server Migration

Alibaba Cloud Cloud Server Migration Center (SMC) simplifies the process of migrating one or more server types, such as virtual machines and servers, from other clouds to Alibaba Cloud. Using the SMC console, import the source server's data into the console and set up the source servers. A migration task can be created and run from the SMC console.

A Summary of the Solution

  • Platform and environment support
  • No dependence on underlying server environments
  • Secure, reliable, and downtime-free data migration
  • They are light and easy to use, with flexible configurations.

Solution 2B: Data Migration to the Cloud

Data can be transferred to and from Alibaba Cloud, other cloud platforms, and local data centers. You can send Terabytes or Petabytes of data from offline data centers to Object Storage Service (OSS) or directly to Alibaba Cloud using a custom data transport device.

A Summary of the Solution

  • Supports data migration in several formats
  • Faster, more secure, and flexible data migration
  • Assistance with data center architectures that use active disaster recovery

Solution 2C: Database Migration to the Cloud

You can migrate databases to Alibaba Cloud Data Transmission Service (DTS). For migration, synchronization, and subscription, create the DTS instances first. Next, create migration tasks based on the type of source and data targets that will migrate the data. Afterward, create real-time synchronization tasks or channels to obtain changes to data in real-time.

A Summary of the Solution

  • Supports multiple types of databases
  • Secure and fast database migration
  • Support for active architecture and remote disaster recovery

Step 3: Deploy on the Cloud

It is helpful to ISVs if they can spend less time and effort providing more customers with web services. A high degree of elasticity is needed to share public resources. It will help you create an ECS server that can be configured with cPanel and Plesk, which allows you to deploy multiple websites and store files on OSS at the same time. EIP, Plesk, and cPanel distribute the data to different websites. A new ECS server with cPanel and Plesk can be built to migrate some sites to the new server when traffic increases significantly. Then, the distribution IP address is propagated to the new server automatically. You can move the websites back to their original ECS servers when traffic declines to reduce costs.

Featured Solutions

  • Website design and registration made simple: Register a domain and start building your website with Alibaba's partner companies
  • Integrated elastic computing, storage, and networking for all business types
