The decision to migrate workloads to the cloud often starts with a desire to reduce costs, but the truth is, businesses that fail to take advantage of cloud technology are struggling to maintain their competitive edge! That’s because the value of migrating goes well beyond the savings from retiring legacy infrastructure— Organizations can move and innovate faster, modernize aging infrastructure and applications, scale globally, get better insights from their data, and create better customer experiences.
Migrating to the cloud is no longer a question of “If” but “When”, and “When” is NOW.

You can migrate any workload – applications, websites, databases, storage, physical or virtual servers – and even entire data centers from an on-premises environment, hosting facility, or other public cloud.
Our experience has shown us that customers typically migrate to the cloud because of one or more of the following benefits:
Retiring legacy infrastructure in favor of more efficient and elastic solutions to bring costs down.
Spending less time managing data centers and more time running the business.
Enabling broader use of advanced technologies to boost agility, and facilitate culture change.
Improving business agility with flexible cloud architecture, while automation allows staff to dedicate more time to important tasks.
Hardening security to help protect against cyber-attacks, define and manage access policies, and prevent unauthorized disclosure and modification using encryption and policy-driven controls. The cloud also helps ensure resiliency, providing high availability with virtually unlimited failover capacity.
Organizations are drawn to the cloud for a number of reasons. With improved innovation to drive their business forward, organizations are able to meet changing business needs in today's fast-paced environment.
