Benefits of Cloud Migration
- Speed and efficiency – Migrating your application to the cloud means you can deploy more quickly, increasing your business’s overall efficiency. Services can be rapidly deployed, via “updates”, and can be ready for users within minutes.
- Scalability – Unexpected surge in users, or increased usage around certain times of the year (i.e. Christmas)? Cloud providers bill you only for the resources you use, allowing you to plan for growth.
- Maintenance – By migrating to a cloud solution, your cloud provider will take care of any maintenance to infrastructure that is required, eliminating the need for you to manually push updates to computers, patch servers or provision new hardware – all of which can be expensive and time-consuming tasks.
- Security – A major concern for businesses is the safeguarding of data – whether this be information relating to customers, financial information or key business data. Physical data Centre security, together with the latest software security measures, help keep your data secure and safeguarded from unwanted breaches, keeping your application compliant with data security regulations (i.e. GDPR and the Data Protection Act).
