Cloud is all the rage today and adopting this new technology is no longer an option or an advantage, it’s a competitive requirement. Here are the 10 most compelling reasons for the adoption of Cloud computing.
Limitless, On-demand capacity: The strongest selling point of Cloud. No longer will you be fettered by finite infrastructure. The Cloud boasts INFINITE capacity on a global scale and will automatically right-size your workloads, based on workload. How cool is that?
Global availability: Providers already have the global infrastructure for when your business expands to multinational status. Now you can deliver IT services and operational access to remote offices from localized endpoints at the push of a button, versus sticking servers in a broom closet.
Disaster-resilient availability: Cloud Service Providers (CSP's) have invested heavily in ensuring their infrastructure is secure, robust and reliable way beyond what any business could ever do independently. The infrastructure is divided up into regions globally, with each region having multiple Availability Zones (AZ's) and each AZ comprising of several Datacenters with fully redundant hardware, facilities and connectivity. All CPS's guarantee at least four or five 9’s availability via up-time Service Level Agreements (SLA’s).
Minimized Cost, Maximized ROI: Cloud features Pay-as-you-go pricing. Because your Cloud usage expands and contracts based on demand, so does your costs. Forget about the massive upfront, capital investment on expensive infrastructure, that needs to be ripped and replaced every 5 years. No longer will you overpay, only to under-use.
Increased Business agility: Leveraging the self-service and governance features of Cloud, you can now empower your Developers to rapidly provision, snapshot, test and rollback, instead of raising request or support tickets and “waiting on IT”.
Increased mobility: Thanks to broad network access applications and data are available to the business from home, the office or on the road. Users can access organizational resources on-the-go, 24/7, from any desktop, laptop or smart device in any corner of the world with an internet connection.
Transfer of administrative burden: Because the provider maintains all the underlying infrastructure, your IT staff is alleviated of the tedious IT minutiae. Say goodbye to “racking & stacking”, 5-year refresh cycles and monthly patching parties. Say hello to your nights and weekends again… and your family :-)
Transfer of risks: Because you’re no longer on the hook for facilities and infrastructure you are relieved of associated risks. Just hit the EASY button!
Stay competitive or out-pace the market: Moving towards Cloud computing is no longer optional. It’s keep up or get run over! If you’re in a market that does not leverage Cloud, you’ll be ahead of the game and with much lower op-ex costs.
Pace of innovation: New game-changing services and features are released weekly, if not daily! You’ll be in position to rapidly leverage new functionality that can further boost business and productivity.
Cloud is powerful and transformative technology that brings a host of tremendous benefits. But it takes some understanding and careful planning to wield this new power. Mistakes and missteps could land you on the cyber-hacking wall of shame. Dont go it alone. Contact BreezeIT today to discuss options for taking your business to the next level..the Cloud!
