Are you still working with a premise-based IT infrastructure? If so, you aren’t alone.

The process of switching to a cloud-based environment can feel daunting, and you likely have questions about the real-world benefits. At the same time, more businesses every day are shedding their clunky, on-site technology, and taking a major step toward the future of how data is managed and shared.

What is the cloud? What does cloud data migration mean?

The cloud itself is essentially a network of online storage centers, called data centers: server upon server that holds information and guarantees quick accessibility for those who have access.

Cloud data migration involves moving data (information, programs, applications, etc.) from your on-site IT system to those cloud-based servers.

Think of it this way: a premise-based system is to the cloud what a Word document is to Google Docs. A Word doc (or Pages, if you prefer Mac) is saved directly to your hard drive, while a Google Document is saved on the internet and accessible anywhere. If you were to type a page, then throw your laptop in a fountain, you could easily retrieve that same typed page from a different device.

What are the benefits of using the cloud for your business?

The Cloud is a relatively new technology, but it’s up-ended the way we approach data management, sharing, and collaboration. It has certainly delivered remarkable benefits for individuals, but today’s businesses are enjoying those same benefits (just on a much larger scale).
