Application Readiness Assessment
Knowing what operating systems and server platforms you use today is only a fraction of what you need to assess a cloud migration. HighVail provides Application-Centric discovery and analysis to provide you with the data driven insights necessary to re-platform and refactor your applications for cloud.
With our cloud migration tools, you’ll analyze your web technologies, DNS, database usage and configurations, as well as perform static source code analysis on your custom applications. Data is not only technical. The interview process that is built into the platform rounds out the data with the addition of business value, operational costs, privacy requirements, as well as any other considerations.
Understanding your application portfolio’s health and fit for cloud is key to identifying the workloads to transition early on. Then prioritizing the transition of the workloads with the greatest positive impact will create momentum for your cloud migration initiative. Find your low-hanging fruit.
Reports are generated from your discovery and assessment data for each application and are augmented with charts and analysis of your portfolio that are specifically designed for cloud migrations. Each item in the report contains a backlink to the Cloud Assessment platform allowing the reader to stay up to date with the latest details from the assessment, regardless of how long ago the report was generated.

You need to quickly identify the low-hanging fruit for migration, and also find where you might be exposed from out-of-date software. Fast web application technology discovery is performed by interrogating your application servers, usually in just a second or two.
