Your small business is maturing. Your data strategy should too. 

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that rely on data center models have historically viewed unlimited data storage, reliable backups, and sophisticated security frameworks as financially out of reach–largely because maintenance costs and skilled personnel have become cost-prohibitive.

But that’s changing with the accessibility of cloud technology. By 2025, digital data is set to double. For many SMBs, it’s already difficult to predict data needs, and even more difficult to keep up with evolving security landscapes.

Those are only a few reasons why 87% of data is expected to live in the cloud in the next three years. Migrating to the cloud has demonstrated value for businesses of all sizes, including:

Scalability:

Instead of managing more storage hardware and software to accommodate more data, cloud users can quickly scale their resources as needs change.

Running local storage and backup requires businesses to defend themselves from incidents like ransomware or human error. In contrast, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is designed to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations in the most regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and government. Additionally, AWS further reduces the risk of unplanned outages, data loss, and inaccessibility by maintaining data centers all over the world. Users can automatically backup their data to ensure business continuity, and benefit from 99.999999999% durability for data backup.

Reduced costs:

Moving to the cloud means the end of devoting dollars to hardware and software maintenance and large upfront investments for data center upgrades. And a pay-as-you-go model makes right-sizing expenditures simple. With AWS, you can save up to 31%.

Access to a trusted partner network:

Partners in the AWS Partner Network (APN) help businesses implement and manage their AWS cloud deployment, eliminating the need to increase IT headcount. These partners can assist with deploying storage and backup strategies that combine AWS services with businesses’ existing IT investments for the most efficient migration.
