• Experts in helping customers understand benefits of
Microsoft Azure.
• Helping plan strategy, design and move to new platform..
• Heritage of datacentre modernisation and management.
• Years of successfully building and migrating to new platforms.
What we do:
SIMPLIFYING YOUR CLOUD EXPERIENCE
MIGRATING TO THE CLOUDTHE CHALLENGES
CHALLENGES AND CONCERNS
Cost control &
governance
•Want to enable users to
provision, but with control
•Without control in place, a user
could potentially provision
machines running at several
thousand pounds a month
Getting data to the right
people at the right time
•Multiple business critical
applications
•Complexities of environment
make it difficult to manage
Time and effort of
consistently managing
estate
•Application manager has to
manage several different
people (across monitoring,
patching, Azure and backup)
when applying a change
•Time consuming and difficult
to manager
WHAT IF YOU COULD…
Cost control & governance
•Control who is allowed to provision and what they are allowed to do
•Track usage, to ensure that cost allocation across the business is accurate.
Getting data to the right
people at the right time
•Move to a standardised policy-based approach to management
•Define business critical applications to back up every hour, and non-critical to back up every 12 hours.
•Provide consistency, control costs across the board.
•Decrease outages, & complexity in environment.
Time and effort of
consistently managing estate
•Describe your organisation, applications and assets and let a system automatically configure and sync monitoring system SCON, Azure and configuration manager (and coming soon azure site recovery and data protection manager)
•Mirror your organisation and all assets.
•Gain consistent, joined up data and understand what it all means.

MIGRATION
Page 20
Orchestrate from on premise into the cloud.
e.g. if you want to move multiple VMs (virtual machines) on
your local data centre up to the cloud, our migration engine
allows you to do so centrally from the Hyper Cloud Platform.
Build the factory and allow
application owners to
manage and orchestrate
their own failovers to the
cloud
Self service migration
approach
Application teams can migrate
when they’re ready to do so; doesn’t have to be a centrally
administered function.

WHY CUSTOMERS USE IT
Control
•May have lots of
different
subscriptions
and lots of
individuals doing
disparate things
– but with no
Control
Reporting
•Allocating cost
to departments;
may have lot of
separate costs
that need to be
dealt with
separately and
cannot channel
to different
departments.
Monitoring
•Pain around
successfully
implementing
with lack of
visibility around
monitoring. Poor
engagement
from the app
teams. Desire to
connect system
to an ITSM
monitoring
service.
Patching
•Too much time
spent patching,
paying extra
staff out of
hours to monitor
patching run.
With HCP could
move to a more
on-call module.
Cost
•Costs from
Microsoft with a
perceived lack of
control; below
the line costs of
the staff that
manage systems.
CIOs want
central console
to run all IT ops
for instant
visibility of
what’s going on
from
everywhere.
Mitigating risk
•Lack of visibility
and confidence
in system and
confidence in
the processes.
HCP can also
remove risk of
budgetary
considerations.

CLOUD REALISATION
Understand how to unleash to power of
public cloud for your business
WHY CLOUD REALISATION?
Page 39
Many organisations have been tasked with moving to the
cloud but have no idea on what the high level steps might
be, or how ready they are as a business for the cloud.
Specifically, Business/Technical decision makers or architects
who are at the very beginning of their cloud journey may be
trying to get an understanding of how to get there and what
their challenges and remediation might be.
WHAT IS CLOUD REALISATION?
Page 40
Through workshops, technical assessment tools and interviews, Cloud Realisation allows you to
assess where you are in your cloud journey, and how to get into the cloud. It helps you:
• Gain a better understanding of
the breadth of Microsoft Azure
• Identify new ways of doing things
• Unlock the power of the cloud to
get to market quicker
• Build a high level architecture for
the cloud environment
• Assess their applications for
suitability for the cloud
• Identifying a program of work to
get to the cloud

Page 43
The envisioning phase provides knowledge of the capabilities of
Microsoft Azure. Achieved through a series of workshops with key
stakeholders, the output is captured in a document for later use.
Education Workshops
• Azure Fundamentals
• Cloud Identity, Networking & Security
• Infrastructure as a Service
• Platform as a Service (Web, SQL)
• Designing Cloud Native Applications
• Mobility and End User Compute
• Disaster Recovery and Backup
• Cloud Management
Cloud Envisioning Output – Capture of any key discussions on decision
points.
CLOUD ARCHITECTURE BLUEPRINT
Page 44
The Cloud Architecture Blueprint provides the fundamental design
pattern and structure for your cloud deployment. Inframonprovides a
series of workshops to capture, refine and agree the blueprint that best
meets your needs. By investing in a design blueprint you avoid making
incorrect deployment decisions that may lead to costly rework in the
future.
• Cloud Architecture Blueprint
▪ Cloud Connectivity
▪ Regions and Scale
▪ Subscriptions, Resources Groups and Storage
▪ Identity
▪ Networking
▪ Security
▪ Management Tools
APPLICATION ASSESSMENT
Page 45
The Application Assessment provides a deeper understanding of how
applications can be migrated or adopted into the cloud. This includes
identifying potential technology options over and above a simple IaaS
model and providing indicative cost models. Inframon will recommend an
approach for further investigation and planning.
• Application Assessment
• High Level Service Mapping – A mapping of key components and
services
• Cloud Technology Mapping – A mapping of existing IaaS components
onto Cloud Technology (e.g SQL Database Server -> SQL PaaS)
• Cost Modelling – Modelling both IaaS and PaaS cost models
• Cloud Recommendations – Key recommendations including options
for replatforming infrastructure, cloud deployment and cost control.
TRANSFORMATION PLANNING
Page 46
The final step before commencing a cloud journey is to map
out a high level transformation plan. This provides you with an
understanding of the key steps to moving into the cloud and
any potential issues, risks or blockers.
• Transformation Plan
▪ High Level Project Plan
▪ Issues and Risk Register
