What is cloud migration?
Cloud server migration is the process where we move your data, applications, and business elements from onsite servers to the cloud. Cloud server migration can also refer to migrating your data from one cloud environment to another. Often, small businesses opt to move away from in-house servers to save money on their IT costs and for more flexible access to their data. So, when is the time to switch to the cloud?
Cloud Server Migration: Why would I need to move to the cloud?
To get rid of old equipment.
When you move away from in-house servers and to a cloud server, you will no longer need your in-house IT server. If your server needs replacing it might be worth looking at alternative options.
Your In-house server is too small for your operations.
If your server needs upgrading to run more extensive business operations, cloud computing gives you the option to add whatever you need instantly without having to buy a whole new server. Moreover, this allows you to only pay for what you use, saving you money in the long run.
Security
We can help you limit access to data, providing access for certain people only. You will have increased control over your data as you can control who has access. With all your applications and files safely saved on cloud servers, your operations will run smoothly and will be at far smaller risk of viruses and hackers.
Access data from anywhere
Cloud computing also enables you, your employees or your customers to access your files and data from anywhere. Consequently, this allows for smoother and more flexible operations and is a crucial benefit for small businesses.
