Irrespective of the size of the company and the quantum of the work they do, cloud computing has become a business imperative as it provides cost benefits, agility, and reliable IT resources. Instead of bothering about the maintenance of their own private data centers storing information, companies can depend upon the scalability of cloud storage to build out storage as and when it is required thereby increasing their adaptability and reducing the total cost of ownership.
2. CLOUD MIGRATION
Cloud migration is the process of moving
digital assets — like data, workloads, IT
resources, or applications — to cloud
infrastructure. Moving to Cloud promises
increased scalability, lower costs, and
security.

Move applications without changes. Most re-
hosting can be automated with tools

tangible benefit
RE-ARCHITECT
Driven by a strong business need to add
features, scale, or performance
RE-PURCHASE
Adopt something net-new in the cloud &
retire existing resources on-premises
RETIRE
Remove applications that are no longer
needed to boost savings
RE-VISIT
Keep apps critical for business but require major
refactoring before they can be migrated
