Reasons to migrate to the cloud.

Eight biggest reasons why organizations migrate to a cloud platform, which includes:

• Reducing IT costs
• Increasing business agility
• Improving Security
• Eliminating end-of-life concerns
• Consolidating data centers
• Enabling digital transformation
• Accelerating growth
• Leveraging new technologies

Cloud migration is the process of moving digital business operations into the cloud. Cloud migration is sort of like a physical move, except it involves moving data, applications, and IT processes from some data centers to other data centers, instead of packing up and moving physical goods. Much like a move from a smaller office to a larger one, cloud migration requires quite a lot of preparation and advance work, but usually it ends up being worth the effort, resulting in cost savings and greater flexibility.

Optimizing a business requires a flexible infrastructure that can be possible with cloud technology. Cloud computing allows businesses to replace servers requiring expensive overheads and staff for its maintenance.

Cloud computing involves lower acquisition costs in comparison to spending a huge amount on purchasing perpetual licenses. The hardware costs are less as the business does not have to invest in purchasing new servers.

Migrations to the cloud are impacted by many criteria that influence the buying decision. According to our respondents, multi-cloud flexibility is the most important criterion.
