Excellent and robust cloud migration support tool
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We have onboarded IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh to aid in our transition to the Google Cloud Platform from Openshift and in house servers, as a majority of our applications will undergo a phased migration. This connectivity has ensured that business isn't impacted, critical data is retained and management of hosting becomes easier
Pros
- Optimal application uptime, as applications stay up even when they're migrating between clouds or from on prem to cloud
- Standard dashboard allows us a holistic view of our applications and their status without needing dedicated cloud support staff
- Connecting markedly different applications with differing tech stacks and layers has become easy because of the application centricity of this SaaS
Cons
- Yet to implement network latency management, to help avoid overcrowding of requests at a single point
- It doesn't exactly 'integrate' with the separate cloud systems, which often leads to knowledge gaps
- Proactive monitoring is something that requires further focus
Likelihood to Recommend
It is only a necessity if teams are planning to migrate between clouds and need a transitional setup. A single cloud/all on-prem setup won't need the IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh.
