Migration Hub

Welcome to the Stack Cloud Migration Hub: the complete resource for all your Atlassian cloud migration questions and queries.

Starting with an introduction to Atlassian’s cloud ecosystem this guide will highlight the many benefits of migrating your business solutions to the cloud, outline the steps in the the migration journey, and show how leaning on the expertise of an experienced Atlassian Solutions Partner can help you avoid some of the common pain points and pitfalls that can impede your transformation to the cloud.

Benefits

Hosting Atlassian workloads on-prem is unlikely to be on your company’s list of core competencies. Cycles spent supporting and maintaining internal tooling along with its required infrastructure can be reclaimed for higher priority initiatives by migrating to Atlassian Cloud.

Reduce TCO
Running Atlassian workloads on-prem comes with its share of hidden costs; from security and maintenance to downtime and capital depreciation. Choosing a SaaS or cloud deployment environment operationalizes cost in a consistent and predictable manner.
Frictionless Scale
More users, more apps, more integrations, and more automations onboarded over time may necessitate an upgrade. Leveraging the cloud enables your Atlassian stack to easily scale as your business needs grow without the need for capital planning and outlay or extended change management.

Increase Agility and Innovation

Introducing transformative functionality into the Atlassian ecosystem via apps or integrations may come with additional resource requirements to maintain snappy performance. Hosting Atlassian software in the cloud enables on-demand performance tuning and minimal downtime.

Expert On-Demand Support

Atlassian software is often given the highest level of criticality designation in the enterprise, meaning downtime comes with a significant negative impact. Whether you choose Atlassian’s cloud, Cprime’s Managed Services, or your own public or virtual private cloud, Cprime has a technical and/or functional administration support service for that.

What is Atlassian Cloud?

Atlassian’s cloud offering comprises of the great products and services you may already be familiar with but in a highly available, fully-managed infrastructure ecosystem. It allows you to reap all the benefits of tools like Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and more without the need to provision and maintain your own servers. Focus on what really matters to your business and let Atlassian handle the rest.
