Is Cloud Migration Essential?

Migrating to the cloud offers significant benefits with minimal upfront costs and risks, making it much easier than you might think. Let’s explore why cloud migration is essential for gaining a competitive edge and how our Managed Cloud Service can assist in maximising these advantages, including a free trial of AWS.

Why move to the cloud?

According to Techaisle, the cloud has become the top IT priority for companies with fewer than 1,000 employees in 20211. Additionally, companies leveraging the cloud service model claim an average savings of 31 percent compared to running infrastructure on-site2. Here’s what your business can expect:

Greater efficiency

On-premises computing often leads to overspending or undersupplying. With cloud migration, scalability becomes flexible, you can increase or decrease your usage as needed.

Cost reduction

Cloud computing offers large volumes of storage, compute, and IT capabilities in a pay-as-you-go model, reducing costs associated with equipment, software, power, and real estate.

Enhanced security

Cloud environments enable faster threat detection, response, and recovery, ensuring up-to-date hardware and software to safeguard your business data.

Tailored solutions

Size doesn’t matter when migrating to the cloud. Regardless of network or workload size, cloud migration boosts competitiveness. The “lift-and-shift” approach, often requires minimal architectural changes, speeding up the realisation of cloud benefits.

Future-proof technology integration

The cloud serves as an ideal platform for IT modernisation, enabling businesses to integrate emerging technologies like AI swiftly without the need for extensive infrastructure upgrades.
