About the White Paper

What is cloud migration?

Cloud migration is the process of moving applications, data, and other assets to a cloud computing environment. It can involve moving from on-premises servers to a public cloud, or from one cloud provider to another. Improved performance at a lower cost, transitioning from a capital expenditure model to an operational expenditure model, and enhanced data security with built-in security mechanisms are some of the reasons to migrate to the cloud.

What is cloud migration strategy?

A cloud migration strategy is a plan for moving an organization's data, applications, and other digital assets from on-premises to the cloud. Moving workloads to the cloud offers many benefits for brands and retailers, including better business agility, global accessibility, and higher performance and scalability. As a result, businesses with a legacy, on-premise infrastructure are increasingly looking for efficient, organized ways to move to the cloud.
