Get the Cloud Quality you Deserve
Selecting the right cloud provider depends on your goals and technical needs. The Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) can help inform and collaborate on this decision through a structured, vendor-neutral evaluation process.
Key considerations
Is Cloud Right for Me?
Moving to the cloud depends on your goals, desired business outcomes, costs, and technical readiness. Cloud services can offer advantages such as scalability, modernization, or cost optimization, while on-premises systems may be more suitable for certain compliance, or control needs. The right choice depends on your specific context and priorities. The university supports a hybrid approach, combining cloud-native solutions with secure connections to existing infrastructure where and when required.
As you evaluate your options, here are a few key considerations to help guide your decision:
Define Business Goals
Identify the business outcomes you have for a given service or function. Match those against some of the advantages provided by public cloud services such as scalability, modernization, innovation, etc.
Compare Cost Models
Understand total costs involved, including migration, training, and operations. Consider CapEx (on-premises) vs. OpEx (cloud).
Ensure Security & Compliance
Confirm that the provider meets your data protection and regulatory requirements.
Access Performance & Availability
Evaluate uptime needs, latency, and geographic distribution of services.
Evaluate Technical Fit
Check compatibility with existing systems and ease of integration.
Review Team Readiness
Consider your team’s expertise and training needs for managing/working in cloud environments.
