In 2022, many businesses still prefer to operate using perpetual on-premise software. Whether they simply prefer to carry on how they know best, or they have some fears around the Cloud, there are many benefits to moving your business processes to the Cloud. If you’re looking for Cloud migration consulting and you’re just not 100% convinced yet, let’s take a look at some of those benefits now…
Moving to the Cloud can work out far cheaper for you in the long run. You can scale up or down depending on your server capacity needs and the needs of your business, paying more or less, as you choose. When you need less capacity, you can scale down, and when you need more capacity, you pay a bit more.
The odd reports here and there of Cloud breaches are rare. Extremely large companies such as Amazon protect their servers well, making data leaks very unlikely. Furthermore, the degree of protection offered by Amazon and their counterparts far exceeds the level of security you could achieve if you stayed on-premise.
By moving to the cloud, you don’t have to worry about anyone tripping over a wire or a power cut affecting the one data centre that houses your servers. By moving away from dedicated servers and into the Cloud, no longer is your data in a physical location that could experience any number of disasters at any moment. Fixed data centres leave you at huge risk of unexpected downtime and data loss – move to the Cloud and get peace of mind away from those possibilities.
The cloud allows you to pay for what you use – that’s it. When your server needs to go up, you pay more, and vice versa. Instead of investing in a data centre’s servers that charge you simply for taking up space in their building, whether all of what you’re paying for is currently in use or not, Cloud servers are flexible, which can save you a lot of money.
Legacy applications still get begrudging support from the developer, but it tends to become less and less as time goes on. There is another option, however – a developer can rewrite a piece of legacy software into a cloud-native application, allowing it to run as a modern application on new technology. This enables the use of cloud-native services, speeding up time to market by not reinventing the wheel.
