Vanguard Cloud Architecture organizes cloud modernization into six connected phases so business leaders and technical teams can make decisions from the same plan.
Each phase produces practical outputs that guide the next phase, while security, continuity, cost, and governance remain visible throughout.
Objective: Build a fact base for decision-making.
Outcome: A documented current-state view and agreed transformation objectives.
Objective: Determine migration readiness, complexity, and priority.
Outcome: A prioritized migration portfolio with clear assumptions and decision points.
Objective: Design the target environment and operating controls.
Outcome: A secure target architecture and implementation plan.
Objective: Move workloads through controlled, validated waves.
Outcome: Validated workloads operating in the target cloud environment.
Objective: Validate and strengthen cloud security controls.
Outcome: A documented security baseline and prioritized improvement actions.
Objective: Improve cost, performance, automation, and governance.
Outcome: A sustainable operating model with measurable improvement priorities.
Vanguard does not assume every workload belongs in the same cloud service or should migrate in the same way. It creates decision points for retaining, retiring, replacing, rehosting, replatforming, or refactoring systems based on business value, complexity, security, and cost.
| Area | Typical deliverable |
|---|---|
| Current state | Infrastructure inventory, application map, dependency register, and risk summary |
| Migration | Workload strategy, migration waves, cutover plan, test plan, and rollback approach |
| Architecture | Target diagrams, service selections, network and identity design, recovery design |
| Operations | Monitoring, backup, access, incident, cost, and governance procedures |
