Cloud

Are you concerned that you might be spending too much money on on-premise IT infrastructure, but aren’t sure how to migrate to the cloud?

IT Directors have been bombarded by advertisements, email campaigns, consultants and coworkers about leveraging the “cloud” on a daily basis for several years. In fact, the term “cloud computing” was used at least as early as August 9, 2006, when Google CEO Eric Schmidt introduced the term to an industry conference. In the beginning cloud services were unreliable, expensive and inflexible but in recent years they have started to prove themselves as viable alternatives to on-premise IT systems.
If you are considering moving your data to the Cloud, you should be sure that you do not arrive at this decision lightly. Our very own Glen Hampton wrote an informative blog post called “10 Decision Points & Considerations for Cloud Migrations” that serves as a great starting point for any company considering migration to the Cloud.

Cloud computing and cloud services are growing at a fantastic pace, 50%+ of companies use some form of public clouds and 74% use more than one type of infrastructure as a service. Link While cloud services offer similar or better IT services to businesses at a lower cost, many IT leaders and companies don’t have the skill sets needed to reap the benefits of cloud offerings. Combined with this lack of ability, it can be difficult to find cloud providers and cloud integrator s that can help you reap the positive ROI that cloud services provide.
