Cloud Migration Planning
Cloud technologies are being adopted at a rapid pace, but many organisations are finding the migration process a challenge. Which applications are suitable for migration? How should applications be re-architected for the cloud? What are the capacity and performance needs? What are the comparable costs?
A successful cloud strategy starts with an assessment of your current IT and business applications, followed by a comprehensive migration plan to move some or all of your computing workloads to the cloud.
Parallel can guide you through this process with our tried and tested approach:
- Application centric
- Identify and map key dependencies
- Single view of all data to speed up decision making
- Proven repeatable process
- Optimise cloud usage

Find Out MoreCloud Management
At Parallel we recommend adopting a cloud strategy that supports multiple cloud services. A multi-cloud approach is about consuming a mix of technologies and services from different cloud providers to create the best possible solution for your business.
The benefits of maintaining a multi-cloud model are:
- Cost/Performance
- Optimisation
- Higher Resilience
- No Vendor Lock-In
However, there can be significant challenges associated with deploying resources across multiple clouds environments, e.g. increased complexity and management challenges.
A Cloud Management Platform (CMP) enables application migration to and from the cloud, whilst retaining the ability to manage and monitor applications centrally. There are many CMPs on the market, all with varying levels of functionality and support for public and private cloud infrastructures.
We work with our customers to understand their current infrastructure, and determine how best to implement a centrally managed multi-cloud model.

Find Out MorePrivate & Hybrid Cloud
A private cloud provides IT infrastructure services and applications to users via a self-service portal. Users select from a catalogue of available services e.g. deploying a new server or application, and once approved, it’s automatically deployed and made available to the user.
Delivering IT infrastructure in this way significantly reduces the time it takes to deliver new applications and services to the business. It also provides a solid foundation for enabling hybrid cloud, where workloads can easily migrate to and from a public cloud, but still remain centrally monitored and within the control of IT.
Converged infrastructure solutions underpin private cloud by combining compute, storage, and network into a single infrastructure framework, which makes automation easier. They are pre-sized, tested and validated, which helps reduce the time it takes to plan and deploy a complete IT infrastructure ready for hosting business applications.
At Parallel we’re committed to helping our customers adopt a cloud strategy that drives IT transformation.

Find Out MoreBackup & DR to the Cloud
With the ever-increasing growth of data, it’s essential to continually review how it’s managed and protected. Cloud represents an opportunity to significantly lower the cost of backup and DR whilst improving recovery times.
We work with our clients to understand what they need from their data protection solution, what current challenges they face, and what the compliance or regulatory considerations are. We then look at the systems currently in place to identify potential areas for improvement.
Parallel offers a Backup & Recovery Assessment which is a fast and accurate way to analyse your backup environment and identify how best to take advantage of cloud with your existing backup infrastructure.
