The Myth: Savings equals Performance
It’s true that companies save roughly 21% by cloud migration, says Gartner. However, a proficient cloud service provider evaluates every potential technical issue, digital security apprehensions and organization’s readiness for cloud.
Cloud cost optimization and cloud performance can run parallel, aiming for an adept cloud migration strategy and that is where Mearas Technologies can relieve you from a lot of groundwork for cloud preparedness.
Demystifying the Cloud Puzzle
Mearas Technologies undertake your entire cloud project, with skillful resource allocation and a convenient pay-as-you-go model where you pay for what you consume. We assess your overall IT environment and the personnel required to maintain the on-prem physical storage and hardware infrastructure in your data centers. Moreover, we do a complete analysis of the data computing environment to analyze the security of critical data.
After a detailed ‘As-Is’ and ‘should be’ analysis, Mearas engineers a cost-efficient migration plan proposing which elements should be rented and for what subscription period.
Delving into the Rental & Pricing Dynamics
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Be it storage or virtual machines (VMs), Mearas evaluates the quantity and the models to deploy for your business environment.
- Software as a Service (SaaS): Mearas facilitates software as a cloud service for various cloud environments and executes software development for various functional areas with integrations through Application Programming Interface (API).
- Network Dynamics: Selecting a suitable cloud environment is where Mearas helps you adapt to a hybrid, private or public cloud network. This plays a vital role in pricing algorithms. With heavy and intricate workloads, we also apply 5G networks to optimize the scalability, flexibility and security of a tailored cloud infrastructure.
- Spot instances & Reserved instances: Spot instances with EC2 capacity from AWS come with low bids and discounts for flexible applications which are used on an ad hoc basis. Bidding on reserved instances for core application with a suitable subscription period plays a crucial role in optimizing the cloud cost of your applications infrastructure.
Mearas, as your cloud architect, charts a blueprint for the cloud model and subscription plans which will work aptly for your workloads and application tasks.
Determining Cloud Performance
We run tests to check the cloud performance parameters in detail through pilot migrations. Some of the tests we conduct are:
- Latency Test: Check the speed of data transfers in the network.
- Load Test: Tests applications under normal and overloaded conditions.
- Browser Test: Checks if the browser is compatible with the overall system.
- User Capacity testing: Tests the number of users the application can manage.
- Failover Testing: Test the application’s ability to obtain additional resources and move to a backup system.
- Soak Test: Assesses application performance with heavy traffic over an extended duration.
Performance Testing through IOPS
Input/Output operations per second (IOPS) is a major performance indicator which tests the responsiveness of data intensive applications and storage devices. It is instrumental in identifying the most suitable type of storage, such as object storage and block storage. Furthermore, block storage has two critical types. Which is Elastic Block Storage (EBS) and Elastic File System (EFS). It is critical for real-time assessment applications which need low latency and high throughput.
IOPS testing is prominent for gaming portals, the telecom industry, video streaming platforms etc.
Performance Testing for Cost Reduction
Apart from enhancing speed, scalability, geographical reach and diversity, the cloud environment contributes to cost reduction. Testing apps on cloud platforms are centralized. There is no requirement for new set-ups and hardware or maintenance expenses. Performance testing is done on a pre-determined budget which optimizes software license, hardware and storage.
