Cloud Migration refers to the process of a company moving some/ all of its data into a cloud computing environment. Cloud Migration can also take place within the Cloud as companies migrate between different providers or to Hybrid Cloud which uses a mix of on-prem, private and public cloud services. At large, companies move their workload to the cloud in order to host data in an efficient IT environment, whilst considering that with cloud migration they are improving performance, security whilst also reducing costs.
Covid-19 acted as quite the catalyst for Cloud Migration, with an increase of work from home and an increase in difficulty to access data centers, companies were desperate to optimize their technology and this gave way to an increase in Cloud Migration.
