Organizations across the board are switching to the cloud in a bid to be more efficient and perform better. According to a research by Gartner, the cloud will host 95% of workloads in 2025, as opposed to 30% in 2021. This growth can be attributed to the versatility of cloud platforms, as it scalable, secure, cost-efficient and the fact that it makes data easy to recover if a disaster strikes.
Migration to the cloud is carried out with help of tools. There are a host of tools that will help you migrate to the cloud. These include both free and paid tools. However, it is critical that you chose a cloud migration tool after a lot of deliberation.
