Today, at least 70 percent of all U.S. organizations are using some cloud computing model. As Dallas Business Journal asserts: “It isn’t a stretch to call the approaching cloud migration wave a tsunami. It’s also safe to assume that when that much data, software and storage moves to the cloud, it will sweep your business right along with it — whether or not you’re prepared for the change.”
So, what exactly is cloud computing? Why are businesses, and small businesses in particular, migrating to the cloud in these numbers? More importantly, why isn’t your company?
“The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet,” according to PC Mag. “In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer’s hard drive. [...] It goes back to the days of flowcharts and presentations that would represent the gigantic server-farm infrastructure of the Internet as nothing but a puffy, white cumulus cloud, accepting connections and doling out information as it floats.” It’s about storage, but it’s also about communications. Cloud communications blends multiple modalities, including voice, email, chat, and video. Cloud migration is the process of moving data, applications or other business elements from onsite computers to the cloud.
Businesses and individual consumers operate on different clouds. “
Cloud migration has many benefits. As explained in Forbes, “the chief benefits listed by organizations that have successfully moved to the cloud include increased efficiency, ease of access, simpler administration and management and overall lower costs.” There are five key reasons your company might want to consider cloud migration.
