Unified Cloud Migration Framework — Using factory based approach

Cloud Computing is seeing an increasing attention and this will drive business to build new application and also drive the migration of existing on-premise applications onto cloud. As part of a real work experience, a Unified Cloud Migration Framework has been defined with a factory based approach to drive the application development on cloud. This can be certainly treated as a systematic approach for migration cloud applications from on-premise to cloud platform in a sustainable manner. This paper explains migration framework, factory based approach for cloud and a case study where it has been applied for successful migration of the existing on-premise applications onto cloud using this factory based approach and migration framework. It describes 1. Cloud Migration Framework 2. Factory based Approach for new and existing applications 3. Case study - Application migration onto cloud i. Challenges ii. Solutions iii. Benefits.
