What is a cloud migration service and do I need one?

Everyday, organizations face challenges that require:

  • Cost reduction

  • Scalability

  • Tighter security

  • Latest Technology

  • Improved reliability

  • More support

And more and more often, the solution is the cloud.

Cloud migration services simplify the complex process of moving business data and applications to a cloud computing environment. In order transition to the cloud successfully, your cloud migration service should ask the following questions before the move:

  • How large and complex are your data?

  • How important are regulatory considerations?

  • Are our current business applications cloud ready?

  • What would the cost of downtime be and what service level agreement do we require for a cloud environment?

  • If we decide to change cloud providers in the future, can our data and application migrate with us?

Once these questions are answered, your cloud migration service can recommend a customized solution and provide a cloud migration plan.

An IaaS cloud solution will lift your burden of operating an in-house data center and enable you to quickly ramp up IT and data center capabilities all while substantially reducing costs. It’s like renting a perpetually new car with all the latest features.

By teaming with your cloud migration service through co-location, you can choose just the right amount of dedicated hardware needed such as servers or racks that are regularly upgraded ensuring 24/7 system redundancy, security, and reliability.
