The practice of keeping digital assets on dedicated in-house servers and datacenters has quickly become a thing of the past. Many businesses are discovering that they can cut costs and reduce gaps in continuity while enhancing productivity, security, customer experience and more — just by transferring their digital assets to the cloud. If you are reliant on on-premises technology, you should seriously consider making the switch. Start discovering how cloud migration and management can streamline your business by browsing some of the core benefits below.

Scalability
Why pay for more than what you need? You are doing exactly that If your current IT solution includes housing, supplying power to and regularly replacing on-site computers, servers, switches, cables and other physical hardware. In traditional on-premises IT scenarios, your system must have enough power to accommodate peak activity levels at all times. For example, a commercial snow removal company must maintain a system that is capable of post-storm traffic levels — even on days without a flake in sight.
Modern cloud platforms like Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft’s Azure offer computing power on-demand, so you only pay for what you need. In the instance of the snow removal company, virtual resources can be ramped up and prorated as the number of employees, customers, contractors and other users on your system increases. When traffic levels off again, you can revert to your regular settings.

Accessibility
In recent years, remote working has emerged as a mainstream alternative for companies across diverse industries to address health concerns, commuting logistics and other issues associated with traditional office settings. The practice has also been found to boost overall productivity and group morale.
Cloud migration and management solutions help facilitate remote work by providing employees with reliable and secure access to the software, databases and other digital resources they need, from wherever they may be.
Security
When you store IT assets in-house, your security model is essentially your company against the world. It is up to you and your team to take precautions such as encrypting data and monitoring activity as well as physically protecting your equipment.
Assets that have been migrated to the cloud are protected by your cloud service provider’s large scale cyber defense measures. These companies have the specialized knowledge and extensive manpower required to both physically guard their premises as well as stay on top of patches, updates and other potential vulnerabilities as they emerge.
The distribution of digital assets in your cloud computing IT system can also play a critical role in safeguarding your company from common targeted attacks on users like phishing schemes. Cloud workstations can be connected to a separate virtual network than the one you use for more sensitive data — and can be effectively isolated if they are subject to attacks. The same cannot be said for traditional IT models which often store user and corporate information on the same server.
Compliance
Keeping up with the standards set forth by HIPAA, HITECH and other applicable forms of legislation is another IT challenge that implementing a cloud migration and management solution at your business can effectively address. Large cloud providers, including Google, Amazon and Microsoft have extensive experience working with high-profile companies in the healthcare sectors and other closely regulated industries. Your cloud architect can help you create a cloud distribution that fits your regulatory requirements.
