In today’s world, businesses can’t afford to ignore the cloud. While many companies delay cloud migration due to complexity or cost, the truth is that migrating to the cloud can save you money and improve your company’s cybersecurity.
Whether you’re a small business owner or managing IT for an expanding enterprise, here’s why you should consider cloud migration.
How Cloud Migration Can Save You Money
1. Fewer Infrastructure Costs
Hosting on-premises servers is expensive. Costs quickly increase between hardware, cooling systems, electricity, and physical space. Cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud eliminate overhead expenses by hosting your data on global infrastructure. Cloud service allows you to pay only for what you use. This means there will no longer be any surprise repair bills and no outdated hardware to replace.
2. Predictable Monthly Billing
Cloud services are typically a subscription or usage-based model. This predictable monthly cost makes budgeting expenses easier for small to midsize businesses. Instead of dealing with unpredictable costs, you get predictable operational expenses, making financial planning easier.
3. Easy Scalability
Need to upgrade your storage or computing power? Cloud services allow you to scale your resources up or down in real-time easily. This flexibility helps avoid overprovisioning and helps your company reduce costs and waste.
4. Reduced Downtime
Downtime is expensive. Cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure offer built-in redundancy and automatic failover, helping to keep your systems online even when disruptions occur.
How Cloud Migration Boosts Your Security
1. Enterprise-Grade Security Features
Cloud providers invest billions of dollars yearly in cybersecurity to develop or obtain cloud security features. Cloud platforms include services such as:
- End-to-end encryption
- AI-powered threat detection
- 24/7 security monitoring
- Advanced firewalls and access controls
These advanced tools can help your business upgrade its protection and obtain costly security features for a fraction of the price, and are just one of the many reasons you should look into cloud migration.
2. Automatic Updates & Patches
Many data breaches occur due to unpatched systems. Cloud migration can help handle software and security updates automatically, lowering your company’s potential to be exposed to vulnerabilities.
3. Built-in Backup & Disaster Recovery
Cloud services such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure come with automated backup and geo-redundant storage, so you can breathe easily knowing your data is safe. In the event of a ransomware attack or natural disaster, you can quickly and easily restore data and avoid expensive business interruptions.
4. Stronger Access Controls
Cloud services make incorporating and executing multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access, and zero-trust security models easier. These security features help significantly reduce your company’s risk of unauthorized access and protect your data.
