The Roadmap to Successful Cloud Transformation Starts with Discovery

Diving into cloud transformation without a well-defined roadmap can lead to costly mistakes. Identifying the right business cases for cloud transformation requires thorough preparation, beginning with an automated application discovery plan.

A structured roadmap, grounded in discovery and assessment, ensures you understand your environment and are ready to address each phase of cloud migration effectively.

Why Automated Application Discovery Is Essential for Cloud Migration

The rapid pace of cloud transformation has driven businesses to optimize costs, scale seamlessly, and accelerate innovation. However, the path to a successful transformation is challenging. Many companies underestimate the effort required from IT teams to deliver seamless results, which includes:

• Assessing the IT infrastructure's demand and capacity

• Mapping hardware and assets to service lines critical to business operations

• Identifying root causes of IT service issues from a user perspective

• Tracking performance and availability across local, distributed, and cloud networks

• Ensuring infrastructure configurations are always up to date

Given the frequency of infrastructure changes, manually gathering this data is time-consuming and prone to error. Businesses can either:

1. Assemble a team of experts to analyze infrastructure and manually document every detail (a slow, resource-intensive approach), or

2. Implement an automated discovery platform to quickly scan and map IT assets, environments, and dependencies, recording all data in a centralized configuration management database (CMDB).

Automated discovery has become foundational in modern IT operations, and agentless solutions simplify this process even further.

Key Benefits of Automated Discovery for Cloud Migration

With an automated application discovery platform, you gain visibility and control over your IT environment, enabling you to:

• Synchronize data flows between applications

• Map dependencies between applications across various servers

• Identify opportunities for modernization, ensuring a predictable and smooth migration journey

• Collect infrastructure details, such as CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage

• Scan multiple applications simultaneously, whether on Windows or Linux environments
