Real-world businesses are trying to leverage cloud computing to achieve business or their mission goals, but they are facing challenges around cloud adoption and migration. Many believe it is a wholesale change in how information technology is delivered. let’s discover in this article the key challenges Businesses Face when moving to the cloud, and how to be able to effectively overcome them.

• Data Security:

Most IT professionals consider security to be a major challenge to cloud adoption. In Fact, A move to the cloud doesn’t decrease security – it increases it. Public cloud service providers invest far more in their security than any individual company or government department ever could. For example, Microsoft invests $1 billion Yearly in cybersecurity for their Azure cloud platform.

Overcoming this challenge is Not about new security infrastructure but the cultural shift.  In our experience, we found that the best way to become comfortable with cloud technologies is to start by moving a few workloads to the cloud. As you become more confident, move more of your workloads, transitioning from a hybrid cloud model, where your data is stored in both the public cloud and your own data centers, to a full public cloud model. This is an approach favored by many governments.

• Incompatibility:

 The most common issue that companies face during migration to the public cloud, is to disconnect between what they have on-premises and how the service is used they are going to buy.

The real problem is when organizations want to do an all-in into the public cloud. This includes complexity in how to use infrastructure and how to control the public and private portion of your hybrid infrastructure. 

• Lack of Expertise:

While most organizations place their workloads in the cloud, they find it difficult to keep up with the tools, leading to the need for expertise.
