Estratégias de migração de infraestrutura local para a nuvem: vantagens, desafios e melhores práticas

Abstract

This work addresses the migration of on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, identifying strategies, advantages, challenges, motivations, and best practices. The research combines a literature review with a case study conducted at the Court of Accounts of the State of Mato Grosso, a public institution that underwent a hybrid migration process. The methodology employed was qualitative data analysis, conducted by an IT specialist with over five years of experience within the institution. The motivations for the migration by the Court of Accounts primarily include the pursuit of greater system availability, scalability, and redundancy, ensuring increased continuity and reliability of services. In addition, the literature highlights other benefits such as resource optimization, increased agility in implementing new solutions, and improved data management. The challenges faced involve issues related to information security, compliance with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), system interoperability, and organizational resistance to change. Based on both the literature and the insights gained from the case study, the work delineates guidelines for an effective migration, aiming to assist public and private organizations in implementing cloud migration processes in a secure and efficient manner.
