Moving to the cloud is an important step for many organizations and majorly it taken by the C-suite decision making of any organization. This leadership is not just interested in short term goals but more concerned about the long-term strategic business objectives, hence the migration to the cloud is not just an IT transformation decision but it’s a business transformation one.

To reap the full benefits of moving to the cloud organizations need to face major challenges along the way that are as unique as the workloads you run and how much of your on‑premises operations you want to move to the public cloud. Before organizations even think about cloud, they need to understand all the requirements of their workloads—and how to support those requirements in the cloud—to help in deciding whether a public cloud destination makes sense.

Nearly every enterprise is using the public cloud in some fashion, with the majority opting for a hybrid cloud solution. Organizations recognize the benefit of having the public cloud integrate and work seamlessly with their on‑premises infrastructure while taking advantage of their existing teams, skillsets, tools and processes. This enables your technology team to manage multiple environments with one tool set and eliminate the need to learn (or additionally hire for) different tools, management frameworks, platforms, processes, security policies and more. They can migrate applications from a private cloud to a public cloud and vice versa.
