Cloud Migration has been one of the most important
technological trends of the past few years. Especially after the arrival of Covid-19 and the Announcement of
Quarantine, people were no longer able to get to work properly and had to work
at home, so Cloud was the option that businesses and companies had to adopt for
enabling remote working for employees.
While many small businesses were slow to adopt cloud
services, 94% of enterprises and large companies were
already using cloud services to reduce costs, simplify processes and speed up
software and programs. But after Covid-19, Also small and middle-sized
businesses started to adopt cloud services as full migration or as a hybrid environment.
Cloud Migration is the process of transferring the
application and other technological processes to a cloud environment, and this
environment can be Hybrid, that means some of the processed might be in the cloud
and some might be in the on-premises servers.
This process for small businesses is only transferring data
and apps from their local server to the cloud. Using the local server and
hardware is one of the challenges facing small businesses because the cost of
buying may be high, the cost of repairing and upgrading might be high But with
the cloud you won't have these costs, on the other hand, when you transfer your
data to the cloud, you will pay according to the usage(pay-as-you-go),
which will save you a lot of costs.
According to Microsoft, %59 of small businesses that have
turned to the cloud have increased production and gained significant
productivity benefits, while costs have dropped by %82.
The benefits of migrating to the cloud:
- Reduce costs and more predictable costs.
- Simplify processes and make it easier to use.
- Installing a working environment for a much less time, you
can install all your organization's services in just a few hours.
- More efficient connectivity and accessibility, you can
access your data and software at any time, location, or device.
- Reduce risks and eliminate the fear of data loss.
- Increased protection and security.
- Increase efficiency, improving performance, collaboration and
team working.
The cloud is not only about data storage, but also about
communication and assistance. In the cloud, a specific company provides
technology services and infrastructure, and in return, businesses can benefit
from these services via the Internet and by paying a specific fee, which means
you can use hardware, software, and data in the cloud.
