Cloudification at Valladolid Sample Clauses

Cloudification at Valladolid. In the case of Valladolid pilot, there was selected only an application that was migrated from a physical deployment to the cloud and other three ones that were selected from the project’s applications catalog, so they were entirely new to the organization. When the migration of Urbanismo en Red took place, it was noticed that the installation procedures were not as clearly defined as it was thought at the beginning of that phase. Anyway, it could be solved with additional support from one the companies involved in the development of the application and finally, the transition could be completed with a small delay. After completing the transition to the cloud, we can conclude that there are several risks associated to this step. • The first one is the need of a secured environment for services, using electronic certificates and secure protocols in any interaction with the users, especially if there are personal data involved. In our case, that leaded to change the way the service was provided, but it could be managed with a reasonable amount of effort. • The second risk involved in the transition to the cloud is the period when both physical and cloud applications are up and running at the same time, while there could be data updates not reflected in the other instance. To reduce this risk to a minimum, it’s important to use a fixed date to swap environments, transferring information in a short time and, finally avoid facing this kind of troublesome issues which can easily lead to loss of application information. • Another risk that arose from this experience is the need to have updated installation procedures that can be adapted to cloud computing paradigm in advance. Provided this information, tasks can be carried out in a smoother way, in the expected time. For the rest of applications we followed a much simpler procedure, because some installation automation scripts had been created by the consortium. In those cases, it only was needed to conduct a previous translation work for all the messages shown at the application using a specific tool that made easier that task. As these applications were completely new services, there was no need to neither perform any kind of migration, nor to plan a transition time for providing the new services. On the other hand, the use of new applications implies a training period for administrators and a modification in corporate monitoring procedures. If we refer to the technology used to deploy these applications, it’s ...
