Azure Cloud Assessment from Ismile Technologies involves scanning your IT infrastructure and provide a detailed cloud assessment report. While migrating to Azure cloud, several core considerations need to be fully understood like
• Suitable workloads for migration
• Bandwidth requirement, computing capacity and dependencies and other technical essentials
• Migration plan and solution
• Technical design required
• Migration methodology and others
• The cost involved in migrating the workloads
Our Assessment includes detailed reports of all the above areas and more
