Node4's Cloud Application Assessment (CAA) helps clients evaluate their application estate for cloud migration. It addresses fragmented views of existing workloads by mapping applications and services to ensure a base understanding. This assessment identifies transformation options to maximize security and performance while minimizing costs, using the "6Rs" approach: Replace, Rehost, Refactor, Redesign, Remain, and Retire.
The engagement includes workshops, Azure Migrate installation, data gathering, analysis, and playback sessions. Clients receive an application catalog, a review and recommendations document (RRD), a runbook detailing migration requirements, and clear next steps for their Azure journey. This service aligns with Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework and industry standards, providing accelerated cloud transformation and innovation.
