Besides being the answer to aging hardware, frequent IT failures and heavy maintenance, a migration to the cloud can bring numerous benefits to your business! If you’re still considering a digital transformation or have decided to move forward but don’t know where to start, read more about the benefits of moving to the cloud.
Having a local server has ongoing maintenance and support costs that add to your annual budget. By moving to the cloud, you can significantly reduce operational costs and TCO, while allowing your on-site staff to focus on other important tasks. Plus you can save money with Azure's most cost-effective, pay-as-you-go offers and take advantage of unique savings programmes, significantly reducing costs in the long run.
Most cloud computing services are provided as self service and on demand, and you can also automate repetitive tasks, so even vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks! In a cloud environment, daily tasks like hardware setup, software patching and other time-consuming IT management chores, can be managed by the cloud provider, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals.
Many cloud offers include a broad set of policies, technologies and controls that strengthen your overall security, helping to protect your data, apps and infrastructure from potential threats. Microsoft, for example, invests more than USB 1 billion annually on cybersecurity research and development. In other words, you are safe! Also, the biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure data centres, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware. This offers several benefits like reduced network latency for applications and greater economies of scale.
With a cloud environment, you can increase or decrease resources according to your business needs. In the cloud, it’s easy to scale up or down whenever required, like a Black Friday season, for example. Testing and deploying applications is also simple, you can install or remove applications effortlessly in these environments, granting you greater autonomy and flexibility.
In the case of service disruption, accidental deletion or corruption of data, it's important to recover your business services in a timely and orchestrated manner, using cloud-based backup and recovery solutions, you can do this in a simple, secure, scalable, and cost-effective way. It is also important to ensure total availability and maximum uptime. Azure, for example, guarantees you at least 99,9% SLA uptime and ensures smooth and continuous performance under a recovery.
