Once your applications and data are in their new homes, they need tuning. Cloud-based systems need to grow and shrink automatically—scaling to meet demand, then shrinking when not needed to save money. Systems running on dedicated infrastructure may need tuning to squeeze the most out of the platforms they run on, and can often benefit from acceleration and optimization techniques that simply aren’t available in a cloud environment.
We’ll baseline, tune, and automate the systems we’ve migrated, ensuring the best mix of performance, flexibility, and low costs. We’ve worked with—and for—some of the leading web performance companies in the world, and written books on monitoring, optimization, and operations.
If you want to know more about the benefits of optimization, check out this Bitcurrent study on the relationship between fast applications, revenues, and employee productivity.
Once we’ve optimized your IT for cost, performance, and reliability, we’ll help you run it—and keep a watchful eye for promising new tools and services that can give you an even greater edge over the competition.
Step five: operation.
