Benefits
The following are a few of the ways your organization can benefit from migrating data and workloads to the cloud:
Scalability:
The cloud removes the physical constraints to scalability and reduces the financial limitations of adding servers and the supporting infrastructure to a data center.
Cost-effectiveness: The cloud lets you pay for only the capacity you use. Instead of adding on-premise capacity to anticipate scalability you may or may not need, with cloud, you pay only for the capacity you need now and scale on demand when you need to.
Security: Clouds typically are secure environments that comply with applicable industry standards and government regulations. They are protected through security solutions and tools, best practices, and policies that cloud providers update as needed on a regular basis and at scale.
Accelerated adoption: Migrating applications to the cloud allows your company to adopt new technologies faster, while also enabling affordable, just-in-time technology adoption in response to business opportunities.
In short, enterprises typically migrate workloads to a cloud to improve operational performance and agility, workload scalability, and security.
