Every year, more and more companies are moving to cloud. In this article, we’ll see why businesses are finding cloud technology more profitable, some notable examples of top companies shifting to cloud and how to know when it’s the right time for your business to start cloud adoption. Dive in!

What is Cloud?

Cloud technology allows companies to reengineer their back-end architectures (servers, databases, application software, and more) and put them in virtual environments where they can be accessed remotely, without requiring physical server hardware of their own. Today, most businesses use cloud services in some capacity like data storage, hosting, and app deployment.

But companies are now fully adopting cloud technology. Popular cloud service providers include:

1. Amazon Web Services (AWS)
2. Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
3. Microsoft Azure

And many more.

7 obvious reasons why companies are moving to Cloud

1. Fault Tolerance A very common reason companies first get interested into the cloud is fault tolerance. By definition, Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to continue operating without interruption when one or more of its components fail. Here system can be a computer, network, or cloud cluster.

2. Cost Savings Before cloud technology, companies needed to pay for on-site servers or even off-site data centres. Cloud technology saves on space and cost by allowing your business to pay a hosting company rather than hosting the servers in-house.

3. Higher Scalability Cloud technology companies offer a pay-as-you-go model, allowing businesses to scale their services as needed. Whether you're a startup or a growing company, this flexibility enables you to start with essential services and easily expand as your business evolves.

4. Agility Cloud adoption bypasses the lengthy requisition process for IT equipment in companies. With cloud services, you can instantly access and set up the required equipment from multiple providers. This enables quick experimentation and easy shutdown once the task is complete.

5. Improved Data Security Data stored on the cloud is encrypted, making it safer than other hosting solutions. In addition, cloud technology is updated frequently so, cloud hosting companies can keep up with the latest cybersecurity threats, while off-site servers are more at risk.

6. Better Data Recovery You won’t have to worry about losing data with cloud technology—even if an emergency happens, you’ll be able to access your files from anywhere. Cloud security offers fail-safes—like storing your data and platforms on a secondary site in case of an emergency.

7. Better Insights and Analytics Cloud technology can bring much-needed insights and analytics to your fingertips in seconds. Not only can you gain access to these insights more quickly, but it’s easier to share, collaborate, and assess these findings with all workers.

Examples of Businesses moving to Cloud

1. Netflix

Netflix was an early adopter of cloud technology before many even understood what the cloud was. During the pandemic, Netflix produced the fourth season of its hit show “The Crown” using Amazon Web Services’ cloud technology, specifically for post-production VFX work. Not just Netflix, many streaming platforms have found it convenient to adopt cloud technology.

1. Twitter

Prior to the pandemic, Twitter migrated to Google Cloud for enhanced functionality and flexibility, a transition that spanned six months. Since March 2020, Twitter developers have delivered new features at an unprecedented pace, while the real-time data pipeline has significantly improved with the adoption of Google Cloud.

1. FitBit

Fitbit, a leading smartwatch manufacturer, collaborated with Google For Healthcare, enabling users to share health data with healthcare professionals. These remote patient monitoring capabilities have unlocked efficient healthcare solutions which were not possible previously.

But…

Cloud Migration is not easy.

• The process can be time-consuming
• It requires special talent in the team
• If done improperly, the process can lead to data loss.

But all these risks can be mitigated if you have the right partner guiding you!
