SharePoint Cloud Services

Migrating SharePoint workloads to a hybrid cloud environment enables organizations to take advantage of cloud while maintaining control over sensitive data.


Hosted SharePoint

Cloud hosting options for SharePoint have matured into a viable option for organizations across industries.  Migrating SharePoint workloads to a hybrid cloud environment enables organizations to take advantage of the cloud while maintaining control over sensitive data. Like any new cloud project, strategic planning is necessary to meet technical and business requirements. We provide the services required for an end-to-end SharePoint migration:

  • Defining business and technical requirements
  • Architectural design
  • Migration & development

Why use SharePoint in the cloud?

Running SharePoint in the cloud provides the same benefits as traditional cloud scenarios including greater agility, quicker deployments, and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

SharePoint 2010 on Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines

Microsoft Azure is a cloud platform supporting platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). SharePoint supports most workloads in a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines (VM) IaaS environment.

The following workloads are ideal migration candidates:

  • SharePoint for Internet Sites (FIS): Public-facing, anonymous access sites
  • Developer, Test, and Staging Environments: Quickly provision and un-provision entire environments
  • Hybrid Applications: Applications that span your data center and the cloud
  • Disaster Recovery: Quickly recover from a disaster, pay only for use

SharePoint migrations are typically hybrid deployments—meaning parts of the environment are in the cloud while others are on-premise. This provides the greatest flexibility to meet data security requirements.

Migration Considerations

  • Software Requirements: Dependency on non-supported OS or app?
  • Licensing: Do your software licenses transfer to the cloud?
  • Hardware Requirements: Multiple network cards or other hardware requirements

Migration approaches

  • Lift and Shift (Migrating entire SP farm)
  • IaaS to PaaS (Migrating applications to web or worker)
  • Hybrid (Spans across on-premise and cloud)

Traditional on-premise SharePoint deployments give organizations full control of the end-to-end SharePoint solution. SharePoint is a rich platform with many capabilities—which often go underutilized because resources are allocated to maintaining the environment rather than developing on top of it.

We provide performance analysis and SharePoint consulting services to help organizations gain more value from their SharePoint investment.
