Device42 Declares About a Tool for Multi-Cloud Migration Analysis and Recommendation

Due to the global pandemic in 2020, several organizations have considered shifting their workloads to the cloud. However, businesses still have challenges in identifying the means of migrating the workloads. The new product developed by the startup Device42 is all-geared to help the organizations in understanding their infrastructure. In addition, the product helps analyze your ecosystem and recommends the most cost-effective way to migrate to the cloud.

According to Raj Jalan, the CEO and co-founder of Device 42, "The product uses machine learning to discover the best configuration. It supports four cloud vendors: AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle plus VMware running on AWS."

Jalan explains, "The new product is a multi-cloud migration and recommendation engine. Basically, along with our discovery tool, we have added machine learning technology to constantly update the cost to run the resources across multiple clouds, based on the existing resource utilization."

This capability improves the organization's core competency of providing a resource map wherever they exist. It also considers the dependencies across the infrastructure, which is difficult for the organizations to understand. Jalan added, "Our focus is on hybrid infrastructure discovery and dependency mapping. The infrastructure can be on-prem, in colocation facilities or the cloud."

Device42 customers can now see how all of the different parts of the infrastructure, including applications, work collaboratively. Jalan continues, "A tool that does everything together and also provides a thorough analysis on shifting from physical layer to the logical layer, is hard to find. Even the tools cannot help you find the position of your storage in the webserver."

It is significant to note that this is not about managing resources or making any alterations to allocation. Instead, it is about understanding your entire infrastructure irrespective of its platform and analyzing the different parts' fitment. At the same time, the newest tool finds the most cost-effective way to migrate to the cloud from its current location.
