Migration plan - Decide on cloud service required

Infrastructure as a service

We need the server as the platform to run the application. We can rent the server on cloud, fast and easy infrastructure setup. Cloud providers will take care of the underlying infrastructure. So, we can focus on our business rather than managing the IT infrastructure. Let the cloud service provider manage it and we just rent it. One biggest benefit is the cloud is very flexible and scalable, we can adjust the server capacity we rent according to the different needs at different times. We will be able to handle spikes flexibly, spin up and scale down with 1 click. Thus, we only pay for what we use.

Software as a service

To administrate the on-site order and fulfilment application, In our case, to manage distributors’ log in account, process order, arrange and track shipment. We can also search and apply business applications available from AWS marketplace such as ARIA, A SaaS based offering to Automated Purchase Order Processing.

Integration of both IaaS and SaaS cloud service

In conclusion, we suggest applying both IaaS and SaaS cloud service to simplify the computing infrastructure of the company. We will apply AWS EC2 instances to replace physical server, infrastructure as a service. We will also be using the application offered on AWS marketplace for software as a service.
