Companies wanting to move from a public to a private cloud have the option of a new service. This week, Mountain View, Calif.-based Nimbula announced its Cloud Migration Service.
Nimbula said its Migration Service is designed for those companies that start out in a public cloud infrastructure, such as Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), because they want to avoid initial capital investment or they need to address rapid growth, or both. After the initial growth phase, and once they have a handle on the workload required, an internal cloud is often planned in order to control expenses and to complement the public workload.
‘A Seamless Migration’
Nimbula Director of Professional Services Nishan Sathyanarayan said in a statement that customers often look to a hybrid deployment model, with both their own private cloud as well as public infrastructure. Through the technical design and migration plan offered by Nimbula, he said, “our customers can confidently execute a seamless migration into a robust and cost-effective private or hybrid cloud solution and balance their investment in public clouds.”
Nimbula’s key strategic focus is for enterprises to use public clouds when fast growth of applications is required. Once the workload and needs have become stable, Nimbula sees it making more sense to migrate to an internal cloud. If the app still has unpredictable bursts of activity, appropriately called cloudbursts, that component might be left in the public cloud.
The Nimbula service provides consultants to help customers design and build a commodity cloud in-house, without the normal investment required, by using existing resources wherever possible. Typically, this would incorporate x86 servers and Nimbula’s cloud system software, and the customer does the actual implementation.
