Determine Cloud Readiness for YOUR businessDeciding to move to the cloud, or not? It’s not a simple “get-up-and-go” thing, you need to carefully
examine three key components of your IT resources:
NetworkThis assessment will allow you to determine if your enterprise has sufficient bandwidth to support access to cloud services
ServerExamining the number of servers in use helps you determine whether they can be virtualized and how many you need to achieve your goals
ApplicationLook at what applications you have in place, such as a customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP), and determine whether they can be virtualized

File access
Moving file access services into the cloud may be impractical and laden with latency problems
Windows Authentication
this option relies on a protocol (Remote
Procedure Call, or RPC) that is designed for a LAN
environment.
Selected vendor-specific
applicationsSome vendors will not
provide support if their applications are placed in
the cloud or a virtual environment.
Printing
In many cases, printers do not have sufficient memory to support all the documents that might be sent to them at a given time.
What Not To Move To Cloud for YOUR businessAfter a full assessment of “Cloud Readiness” and you determined a cloud-to-go, there still might be something you
don’t want to move to cloud – a sophisticated hybrid cloud model might be YOUR right choice

Conclusion
The cloud is not a magical solution. CompTIA's Fifth Annual Trends in Cloud Computing study concluded that: 24% of businesses that moved from an on-premise system to a public cloud eventually moved back to an on-premise system.
Plan before action
The cloud has many advantages - But it’s hardly a one-size-fits-
all solution, and any time you make decisions about managing
data and information services, you need to look carefully at the
facts, not just the latest trends.
Do it the right wayWith a spate of new providers entering the cloud marketplace, it
is important to consider how much experience your cloud
provider has: less-experienced providers may experience
growing pains -- in the form of outages or other service issues --
while they expand and mature. If you move mission-critical
infrastructure or applications to the cloud, you want assurance
that there will be no downtime.
