Are you moving your on-premises workloads to the cloud?

Clarity on your on-premises estate, your migration approach and rightsizing licenses for the cloud will ensure optimal cloud cost optimisation and compliance.

The benefits of cloud for enterprises are undeniable – from on-demand pricing to global distribution, from deployment of new servers in seconds to no longer having to manage any physical hardware. Cloud has changed the game.

The shift to cloud computing has changed how we view our software license assets and costs. There are new challenges that should be addressed from a software asset management and FinOps perspective when licensing in the cloud.

The license considerations when moving on-premises workloads to the cloud

 

Moving your on-premises workloads to the cloud requires a review of your license estate before migration, an understanding of how you will license any parallel running and clarity on appropriate license rightsizing for your chosen cloud platform. Overlooking this important element could result in unbudgeted cost, unforeseen risk and potentially eliminate any project ROI.

SAM experts Brian Lavelle and Jason Pepper discuss the license considerations when moving on-premises workloads to the cloud and what to do to avoid additional cost and risk in your cloud project.
