Abstract

Workload migration to cloud is a critical area in increasing the adoption of cloud. In order to fully leverage the power of cloud computing, clients need to determine what workloads and applications are good candidates in the cloud and migrate them quickly and in an efficient manner into the cloud. The main goal of this chapter is to explore and study how workloads can be migrated into cloud. In addition, this chapter will also describe the overall end-to-end process for cloud migration and its resulting benefits.
