Cloudwick Teams Up with Pepperdata for Improved AWS Cloud Migration

Big data application performance management provider Pepperdata and digital business services and solutions provider Cloudwick have joined forces to provide a new service for enterprises migrating to Amazon Web Services. The service aims to ensure the same or improved performance and SLAs.

Pepperdata will provide Cloudwick with the tools necessary to diagnose any issues that arise during migration and assess performance after completion. The service will also give Cloudwick a baseline of on premise performance and map workloads to optimal static and on-demand instances.

Enterprises that migrate big data to the cloud face a big challenge — maintaining SLAs without having to re-engineer applications. Pepperdata CEO Ash Munshi says, “Cloudwick and Pepperdata ensure workloads are migrated successfully by analyzing and establishing a metrics-based performance baseline.”

Once installed on Cloudwick’s customers’ existing, on premise clusters, Pepperdata will automatically automatically collect 350+ real time operational data points from applications and resources. Those include CPU, RAM, disk I/O, and network usage metrics from every job, task, user, workflow, queue, and host.

The 30-minute installation collects data collected used to generate insights for mapping workloads and project costs. After the migration’s completion, enterprises can use those same insights to assess performance and migration success.

Organizations assume risk when they migrate to the cloud before first looking at performance data. When done incorrectly, migrations lead to unavoidable complaints from the business’s front lines. Pepperdata’s pre- and post-migration metrics and analysis show that the cloud can maintain performance levels.
