IDG Contributor Network: Cloud migration: Getting data to the cloud is the elephant in the room
There is plenty of hype about how great the cloud is but no one is addressing the elephant in the room: How do you move an enterprise application to the cloud? It's one thing if you have a Wordpress site, which is sort of the "hello world" of the cloud. It's quite another thing if you are moving an Oracle ERP system to the cloud.Cloud computing offers compelling benefits but migrating to the cloud poses a huge obstacle due to the hurdles of moving data to the cloud, cloud data security and stability and performance in the cloud. All of these pain points can be overcome or mitigated by a technology called copy data virtualization.IT leaders are concerned that cloud providers oversimplify their solutions and fail to appreciate both the complexity of their potential customers' applications and their fears that migration could fail.
