7 benefits of migrating your company's data to the cloud
According to recent IBM research results, the cloud model grew by 35% in Brazil last year.
In the situation we experienced in the past, many needed to adopt the work-from-home model, for example, which put critical points to the test, such as productivity, information security, and the infrastructure of employees' workplaces.
To meet these new needs, it was essential to invest in platforms that could support the operation of companies, taking into account, for example, internet consumption so that everyone can access internal systems without difficulty.
Experts believe that the use of online platforms for web conferencing will be one of the main productivity tools in the "new normal." In this way, the use of physical offices tends to decrease significantly, making remote work and the technologies that support it the basis of all IT operations and something essential for companies.
If you're unsure how to migrate to cloud storage, learn about the seven key benefits of this crucial model for keeping your business running.
In the cloud process, you can use exactly the resources you need. With the elasticity of the cloud, it's possible to use more or fewer resources, according to market demands and your company's needs, respecting special dates like Black Friday, Christmas, Easter, etc., when consumption and effort for many companies can triple.
The cloud is based on a series of redundancies in infrastructure resources, such as hardware and network resources, location, power, and internet, for example. Its goal is to deliver high availability and rapid recovery from problems that may occur, thus guaranteeing longer uptime for applications and services compared to any other structure.
One of the most important aspects of the cloud model is agility. Today's IT adds significant value to the business when it can quickly adapt its resources to new needs, promoting the availability of new applications, resource changes, and services.
As mentioned in the first topic, we can take advantage of cloud scalability, where we can keep up with business needs using the flexibility of cloud environments. This avoids the acquisition of software, platforms, and hardware, and consequently, a series of hidden or poorly visible operational costs, which in the long term can be inefficient and costly for the business.
Public cloud environments are compliant with global infrastructure and service security standards, ensuring multiple layers of security. However, it's important to keep in mind that our management policies must be aligned with the measures already taken by the provider to guarantee complete data security. To achieve this, it's crucial to have the support of a solid partner in managing and monitoring your environment and to have your internal team focused on business needs.
Being in the cloud ensures that someone is constantly monitoring the resource infrastructure, thinking about improvements that will benefit everyone, from upgrading physical resources to making new services available, resulting in continuous technological updates.
One of the great advantages of cloud platforms is the availability of a marketplace with different services useful for your business. Supported by the most modern technologies such as Big Data, IoT, AI, bots, mobile, etc. These are technologies aligned with the new 4.0 revolution in industry, and all this power is much more accessible in cloud environments. We can also mention the platforms that facilitate DevSec Ops processes, which are already available as a service.
To make the decision, keep the following indicators in mind: Am I reaching the end of the life cycle of any internal hardware? Will I have to make new investments in hardware and software upgrades such as database licenses? Is it worth bearing all the machine maintenance costs?
If the answer is yes to at least one of the reasons, then this is a great time to evaluate the cloud and put together a TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) to help uncover all hidden costs and verify the project's viability.
Furthermore, ask yourself: are you planning a change in your business? Getting closer to customers and investing in technologies like Big Data? If the answer is yes, this is also an ideal time to evaluate cloud technologies.
If you need to reduce IT costs or at least extract more productivity and benefits from similar investments, consider this the ideal time for change. Whether it's to correct current issues, make IT work more flexible and agile, reduce costs, or align your company more with the 4.0 model, the cloud is the technology that allows you to get the most out of all these areas.
The benefits of the cloud model are undeniable; however, it's necessary to be attentive and take certain precautions. The main challenge for companies with the cloud is knowledge.
Currently, there are several platforms and services available, but without the knowledge, it's difficult to make the most suitable choice for a company's technical and business needs. Furthermore, each platform has different operational characteristics, requiring in-depth knowledge of each one. Therefore, it's essential to have a partner with multi-cloud expertise, such as Sky.One , which focuses its efforts on improving, facilitating, and streamlining the monitoring and management processes of infrastructure environments and platform-as-a-service solutions.
Another challenge: existing platforms were designed for use without internet support; in other words, they are structures for internal use, in a client-server model. This type of solution requires a different approach to cloud migration that takes into account usage speed, access limits, internet consumption, and other factors.
These challenges can be overcome by a partner who knows the software and has extensive experience and the appropriate tools. Like Auto.Sky , a robust platform that enables the migration of systems to the cloud and is currently certified for over 200 software programs and used by hundreds of companies. Want to know more?
