It’s not always easy to migrate your infrastructure to the cloud, but with a little planning it can be. Quest Software reduced critical impact in its migration by relying on a predictive business continuity approach. By building an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution in Azure, Quest leveraged Foglight for Virtualization and Rapid Recovery to migrate workloads. The move involved a complex environment that include Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware with virtual machines supporting mission critical applications.

Quest followed these 6 easy steps:

1. Identify applications and VMs
2. Discover VM/application dependencies
3. Review IaaS offerings
4. Analyze costs and risks
5. Test migration
6. Migrate, test, commission
