Tips for Your Cloud Architecture Design

These days, it seems like companies are migrating to the cloud. The cloud offers some amazing benefits to companies by creating a way for data and applications to be shared and accessed remotely. However, it’s helpful to evaluate the needs of your company prior to making such a large transition. As with most things in life, it’s important to make a plan before getting started with your migration.

The cloud is an excellent option for all companies but may be a better fit for immediate migration if you own a small business or startup. This is because a smaller company inevitably has less information to be moved over.

The same can be true of a large company also, however, if you have employees who work remotely or in many different offices who all need access to the same files and applications.
