Don’t Underestimate The Challenge Of Cloud Transitions

When you move to a new dwelling, the process is always more difficult than you initially anticipate.

Maybe packing takes a few hours longer than you thought, or perhaps the movers showed up at the wrong time. You carry a piece of furniture up the stairs the wrong way and end up damaging it. Valuables are inexplicably lost during the transition.

"Firms must take steps to ensure the integrity of their data, while also protecting it from potential security breaches."

In many ways, moving sensitive enterprise data to the cloud works in a similar manner. It's important to be careful and plan ahead for as many contingencies as possible. Firms must take steps to ensure the integrity of their data, while also protecting it from potential security breaches. 

As pointed out by an article on Big Data Quarterly, some enterprises have made the mistake of underestimating the effort and expense that can go into a cloud strategy. For instance, while self-deployment may seem like the easiest and most cost-effective solution, the lack of informed assistance – or a professionally-designed system – can lead to significant mistakes and cost overruns. This is not how any business wants to carry out its modernization efforts.

A legacy system modernization effort can be a major challenge for a business that wants to take advantage of what the cloud has to offer, without losing the performance and security benefits of in-house storage.
