We all know that cloud is the future of computing. Most of the businesses have either did the cloud migration or are in the process of doing so. They do so because of the many advantages cloud computing has to offer This digital transformation of businesses migrating to the cloud has accelerated due to the current scenario and technological advancement. In this blog, we will deep dive into cloud migration and look at how it is changing the future of businesses.

 

What is Cloud Migration?

Before we go into the details, let us understand what exactly do we mean by cloud migration.

In simple terms, cloud migration means shifting digital assets like applications, workloads, data, and IT processes, of a company onto a cloud.

Traditionally, businesses stored these digital assets on-premises. Over time, the infrastructure used to store these digital assets becomes outdated. It is known as legacy infrastructure. The companies still use them for their daily operations.

The older versions might not be as efficient or advanced as the latest version. Also, in many cases, if the vendor has stopped supporting the legacy hardware or software, it will be a security risk as there would be no security updates to the legacy systems. It would be wise to adopt the strategy of moving to the cloud as there are several benefits.

What are the benefits of cloud migration?

These are the key benefits of cloud migration 

Security

The cloud service providers have a dedicated team of security experts to manage any security risks that occur. Also, cloud service providers regularly update their systems to make them more secure. Also, there are multiple backups taken to prevent any loss of data.

They also provide almost 100% uptime, ensuring the 24*7 availability of the digital assets. The end users can access it from anywhere and any device. An option to wipe off data or remove user access is available if a device is lost or stolen.

Performance

The cloud service providers adopt cutting edge technology and aim to provide best in class services to their customers. They ensure that the network latency is low as they may have data centres at multiple locations. It makes it easier to access data faster from anywhere and helps companies provide a positive customer experience.

Scalability

A business can easily and quickly scale up if the workload increases. If the company wants to enter another region, it can easily do so. For an on-premise system, a business will have to purchase additional infrastructure, set it up to work with the existing systems, and align IT team personnel for managing it. It could be time-consuming.

If we consider a cloud-based solution, a business can buy additional resources as per their requirements and almost start using them instantly.

Also, in the case of lower workloads, the businesses can choose to scale down their requirements. They can pay-per-use basis and manage their workloads without affecting their performance.

Cost-effective

Cloud migration could be very cost-effective in the longer term due to the ability to scale up or down, as mentioned above. Also, companies save a lot of money on IT operations as the cloud service provider looks after the maintenance, upgrades, and security.

Also, if a business moves on to the cloud entirely, there would be no need to buy additional infrastructure, which would otherwise be required, for an on-premise solution. The businesses will also save money, as they no longer need to worry about server back-ups, which would require them to have a replica of the existing system and maintain it. The companies with a multi-region set up need not have the set up for each location.

Also, a lean IT team can manage all the processes as the majority of the heavy lifting is done by the cloud service providers.
