cloud migration
What is cloud migration?
Cloud migration is the transfer of all businesses from their traditional locations to the cloud. It is a process of migrating data, IT operations, programs, and applications from the company’s traditional data centers to the data centers provided by the cloud service providers.
It needs preparation and a lot of effort, but it is worth it as the business becomes easier, more flexible, and less costly.
In cloud migration, you are moving from traditional on-premises infrastructure to cloud infrastructure.
It can also be a migration process from one cloud to another.
What do we mean by old infrastructure?
Old infrastructure is not intended to age but rather refers to the traditional infrastructure of hardware, computer equipment, software, applications, servers, databases, and networks, especially if this old infrastructure is insecure and is not equivalent in its work to new computing solutions.
Old equipment may be slow to operate, which increases the business time and this means a lot of time wasted with less production.
The old architecture can also be somewhat recent versions of programs and operating systems, but the company that issued them has stopped updating them or making corrections to them, and that is what is currently happening, for example with Windows 7, is a relatively modern operating system, but Microsoft has stopped issuing corrections and updates for it.
Cloud migration from old infrastructure to the cloud is very important for companies, especially those that are still working on old systems, which makes them lagging behind competition with those who have already moved to the cloud. In addition, this old architecture is exposed to a greater risk of a data breach.
Today, most companies and institutions do cloud migration, even if it is partial, to experience the most important advantages of cloud computing to learn more about them, and they may move their business completely if they realize the value and importance of cloud computing.
Why cloud migration?
- Scalable: Cloud resources are scalable according to customer needs
- Cost-effective: You pay for the use, plus save on operating and maintenance costs for traditional infrastructure
- Better performance: by leveraging vast cloud resources and choosing what suits their business
- The flexibility of access: from anywhere and at any time you access your data over the Internet
