What is it?
Cloud Migration is the process of moving aspects of your business into the digital realm and putting those operations into the “cloud” i.e. external servers, data storage systems, computing processors and so on.
You can think of it as an office move, but instead of loading up vans and lorries with physical equipment, the legacy business infrastructure is digitised and moved to cloud computing and storage systems. Some things migrated to the cloud may already be digital, but managing in-house hardware beyond a certain point can become costly and there are of course security implications.
Good quality cloud services specialise in optimising the hardware to keep performance at its best, and manage all the cybersecurity aspects, reducing the need for in-house tech staff to manage complex IT environments and securing against data breaches.
The benefits of migrating to the cloud include scalability, cost, performance and flexibility. Making the right choices of cloud service providers and which aspects of your business would benefit from such a migration is something Seventy9 IT can assist with.
