Listen to article

As the years go by, more and more organizations are moving towards cutting-edge cloud technology. Security, data modernization, and reduction in operating costs are among several reasons companies put their best foot forward in the Cloud. Considering the current situation, leaning towards flexible software has become mandatory, as this technology is effectively apt for access from anywhere in the world.

To dive a little deeper into the narrative, let's look at the top five reasons why more organizations are moving their essential data to the Cloud.

1. Flexibility

Oracle Cloud services offer immense mobility and flexibility in cloud computing. In the past few years, the workspace has grown beyond the physical office space. Employees can work flexibly from home or any other remote location. This, in turn, results in a significant reduction in the business's operating costs. Cloud computing also helps employers monitor their business operations efficiently.

2. Data Security

Data security breaches are a significant business risk, and maintaining personally identifiable information (PII) is a huge responsibility. Any breach in sensitive data can cost businesses heavily in terms of lawsuits and reimbursements. Traditionally, companies must manage data storage and add different layers of security, such as encryptions. However, cloud technology provides the industry with leading data security measures built into the Platform. Most cloud service providers comply with industry standards in the data protection and security field. Thus, cloud technology frees businesses from the need to upgrade data security models, patches, etc constantly. The cloud service provider takes care of these tasks, enabling companies to focus more on their core businesses.

3. Multiple Options

Oracle Cloud has different delivery models, such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Businesses can adopt a cloud service offering according to their business requirements and cloud readiness. One of the most important benefits of a cloud service is a subscription-based service. Businesses can subscribe to services they need and pay only for what they use.

4. Less IT Work

Oracle Cloud Applications is a software as a service (SaaS) offered by Oracle. This enables businesses to eliminate a vast IT infrastructure, including physical servers, data centers, and disaster recovery sites. IT support involvement is reduced significantly. The cloud service provider automatically pushes OS updates and security patches at regular intervals or ad hoc.

5. In -Built data backup solutions

Traditionally, businesses must invest in data backup solutions, such as storing and securing data backups, media, etc. Oracle Cloud provides various cloud data backup solutions. Companies need to select the appropriate option after considering the sensitivity of the data, the need for accessibility, and the need for data retrieval. Oracle Cloud provides tiered pricing for different data backup options. Some cloud systems offer backup in case of any disaster so that your data is recovered immediately.

This approach reduces the risk of data breaches and the associated costs and allows companies to focus more on core functions rather than constantly upgrading data security models.
