Should all of your systems be in the cloud?
The right IT infrastructure is one that meets the aspirations of the business growth plan, and provides responsive, reliable, scalable levels of performance no matter what is thrown at it. It allows staff to work securely from anywhere, without impinging on performance and productivity.
Why Mature SMEs Are Turning to the Cloud
The most mature SMEs rely on their IT infrastructure to ensure their businesses are protected from disaster and have the agility to scale and change rapidly to meet evolving demands.
Lots of SMEs are already considering a cloud or hybrid environment and have already adopted cloud solutions like Microsoft 365 or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions for hosting non-Software as a Service business applications, such as Amazon Web Services or Azure.
Most (but not all) applications that run on physical servers are able to be migrated to the cloud. On-premises, hybrid and cloud environments all have their uses, but in general we would recommend the cloud. These are just some of the benefits:
- Productivity from anywhere
- Offsite, scalable data storage
- Fewer IT maintenance costs
- Pay-as-you-use, no up-front capital outlay
- More reliable
- Device and location independent
- Built in security and disaster recovery capabilities
