Frequently Asked Questions
How do we incorporate Cloud Solutions?
We recommend adopting a converged or hyper-converged infrastructure solution as these will allow more elasticity to scale up as you add in more cloud solutions to your data center. If you are considering a cloud migration, make sure you have the team and expertise available, it’s a large endeavor with many components.
A thorough cloud migration strategy will save you headaches in the long run. For example, not all workloads would benefit from being in the cloud. Part of what an experienced professional can do for your organization is help you determine which operations would better serve your business in the cloud, and which ones should stay on-premises. There is the entitlement aspect. An experienced IT Solution Provider with extensive cloud migration experience can help you make the right choices and ensure that you are embracing the benefits that come with a transition to the cloud.
Effective cloud integration needs a solid strategy, the right tech, and experience.
