Transformational Projects

Purchasing, Migration, and Optimization

Pyramid Consulting also supports migration, end-of-service, and consolidation projects, both on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment. Our transformational cloud projects include:

Lift & Shift (IaaS)

Fastest route to the cloud
Datacenter closure
Acquisition/Divestiture
End of Support
Quick adoption of availability, scalability, security and compliance, business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities built into cloud services that are too costly and time consuming to build into on-premise facilities, systems and applications
Right-size cloud VMs based on historical performance metrics

Re-Platform (PaaS)

Consolidate servers and databases
Infrastructure and cost optimization
Leaves the care and feeding of IT infrastructure to cloud providers, enabling businesses to focus on their data and apps

Re-architecture/Cloud Native Architecture (Serverless)

Build apps faster without managing infrastructure
Applications that rely on servers (IaaS) for functions, web apps, logic, message queueing, event triggers, databases, storage, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and analytics can be rewritten and optimized to take advantage of cloud native architecture, often quicker, more efficiently and cost-effectively than the amount of time it would take to migrate

Containers

Ensure software & application portability by packaging applications with all of their dependencies, libraries, binaries and configuration files together, abstracting them from the OS and underlying infrastructure

Legacy OS & Apps

Mitigate legacy OS & app End of Service risks by migrating from on-premise to the cloud, and modernizing to more recent supported versions as part of the process. Legacy OS’s & apps can also be migrated and modernized between multi-clouds and hypervisor sources and destinations
