Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn’t cloud migration always reduce costs?

What is rightsizing and how much can it save?

Which workloads benefit most from a rightsized cloud move?

Not all workloads deliver the same economic benefit when moved to the public cloud, even when you rightsize. The data suggests some clear priorities. 1. Focus first on nonproduction workloads

Nonproduction environments (development, testing, staging, etc.) usually have **more volatile and variable usage**.
This volatility makes them better suited to the **on-demand flexibility** of the public cloud.
For these workloads, migration can also help reduce **software licensing fees tied to core processor counts**, because you can more tightly control and rightsize the cores you use.

2. Target nonvirtualized workloads before virtualized ones

Nonvirtualized workloads typically gain more from cloud migration because they don’t already benefit from the efficiency and flexibility that virtualization provides.
Virtualized environments have already captured some of the same benefits the cloud offers, so the incremental savings from moving them can be smaller.

3. Use migration to clean up and consolidate

Many companies discover **fragmented and duplicated workloads** scattered across machines and data centers.
They often uncover **incomplete or outdated records** and **zombie servers** that can be decommissioned instead of migrated.
By consolidating and rightsizing these workloads before or during migration, companies can materially lower their cloud footprint.

4. Think beyond cost: hybrid and vendor opportunities

Rightsizing also helps organizations manage a **hybrid environment** more effectively, balancing public cloud with on-premise systems.
Technology vendors can play a role by helping customers **scale, automate, and operate** across public, private, and hybrid models, as seen in moves like **IBM’s acquisition of Red Hat**.

In practice, a rightsized strategy usually starts with **nonproduction and nonvirtualized workloads**, uses migration as a chance to clean up and consolidate, and then extends to more critical production workloads once the economic model is proven.

We strive to mitigate bad design and implementation which generally become major pain points growing in lost operations and revenue, let alone the biggest ones if you look past the paid SEO on poor LOB software purchases and forced migrations leading to overrun project budgets and timelines and may have experienced them yourself.

Especially lately logging into sites, mixed data, lost accounts/usernames needing resetting, increased spam etc. Just like rebooting/reloading as a fix, but usually is just skipping root cause analysis as many know the webs foundation is flawed!
