Description

UEL are looking to reduce dependency on the current on-premise data centers and infrastructure and are looking to transform IT and accelerate the migration of workloads to public 'Cloud'.

Transition to the cloud will only be done if it is the right fit for UEL. This criteria is a complex balance between cost and the UEL ITS Service's SLAs.

High level objectives of the project

The high-level objectives of the Cloud Implementation project are as follows:

(a) reduce the number of applications that are being used to support the UEL IT Services that are currently on-premise;

(b) transition applications, where possible, to a SaaS service for each of the applications supporting the services;

(c) assess if 'Cloud' or 'On-Premise' is the destination of choice for the application services;

(d) build cloud landing zones and target operating model to support services transitioned to the cloud;

(e) re-architect applications and transition application to cloud as required.

2) project phases

At this stage the project is split into 2 distinct phases which at a high level are:

Phase 1

- assess the current estate of application services and recommend what to do with the applications,

- design and build cloud infrastructure both people processes and technology,

- complete a migration proof of concept with a shortlist of service applications into operational support in new cloud infrastructure is fit for purpose.

Phase 2 - This is dependent on the work of Phase 1 and would give rise to the following:

- complete application service migrations and transition services into operations transition into the new hybrid Infrastructure,

- decommission on-premise Hardware,

- potentially Install new on-premise hardware,

- migrate remaining services to new hybrid Infrastructure,

- cloud Support model that will potentially require the partner to be able to support UEL ITS with the new hybrid Infrastructure.
