Increasingly the topic of moving to the cloud is one that cannot be avoided. Cloud adoption has emerged as a top priority for IT leaders. Despite this, many businesses are still on the fence about embracing the cloud, as the path to migration is rarely straightforward or linear.
The benefits of cloud computing are touted as simplicity, speed and cost savings. However many organisations are fearful of moving legacy applications to the cloud. Some feel that there are some workloads that simply can’t be moved to the cloud, leaving them feeling that they are stuck in legacy tooling and practices.
If you want to modernise your applications and infrastructure but can’t or don’t want to fully migrate to the cloud; or if you want to be able to utilse a hybrid or multi-cloud approach, then moving to Anthos from Google Cloud is the answer.
Anthos is a modern managed hybrid cloud solution for modernising applications on-prem and in multiple clouds. It allows you to bring the benefits of the cloud to your workloads, without necessarily having to move them to the cloud.
Enterprises don’t just want to just move their applications from point A to point B, they want to modernise their applications with cloud-native technologies and techniques, wherever those applications may be.
Anthos makes this a reality. Utilise your current on-prem infrastructure and easily start modernising your IT environment. When you are ready to move to the cloud, Anthos allows you to deploy in your own data centre, Google’s Cloud or in AWS or Azure.
With Anthos enterprises now have the ability to modernise in place, automate policy and security at scale, and future-proof investments. All this with an interface that provides consistency across platforms. Athos achieves all of this utilising Kubernetes, an open-source, widely used container platform.
Anthos will let you manage workloads running on-prem and on third-party clouds like AWS and Azure, giving you the freedom to deploy, run and manage your applications on the cloud of your choice. All this without requiring administrators and developers to learn different environments.
Anthos’ open-source approach makes it a safe choice for your cloud strategy and because Anthos is fully managed, even on-prem, you get the benefits of open-source without the hassle of needing to manage it.
Developers can now write applications once, and then run them anywhere. Google’s hybrid cloud solution saves money by optimising your infrastructure costs and reducing management overhead – wherever your applications may be. Better yet, Anthos provides this pathway application modernisation without having to rewrite existing applications, resulting in immediate operational cost savings.
A 2019 Forrester report (New Technology Projection: The Total Economic ImpactTM Of Anthos) highlighted that, prior to Anthos, interviewed organisations used fragmented technologies to build and manage applications in their on-premises and cloud environments. Anthos gave these enterprises one platform to= run = anywhere, and a view of what was happening across environments. Investment in Anthos accelerated employee productivity and resulted in the reduction of bottom-line costs, and increased top-line revenue.
The report revealed that Anthos enabled Google Cloud customers to realise up to:
- 5x return on investment
- 13x improvement in time to market
- 38% reduction in non-coding activities
- 75% improvement in productivity for security tasks
- 74% increase in application migration and modernisation
- 55% increase in platform operations efficiency
Having a consistent, modern infrastructure across environments is a key first step toward application modernisation. Anthos makes it simple to start modernising your IT environment utilising your current on-prem infrastructure supported by Google’s security and tools. Anthos provides a consistent development and operations experience across different environments providing the momentum necessary to streamline infrastructure processes and achieve economic gain.
