Why business should go for cloud computing

 

Now that servers are not only in the data center but also at the edge, management on location makes no sense.
Though the trend of software-as-a-service has spread to most tech stacks, it has eluded enterprise server management. Now, that appears set to change.

As of today, fewer than one percent of IT organizations make use of cloud-based compute management platforms, but Gartner predicts that at least half will by 2025. What is causing this drastic change? Companies need to be able to access data and applications on any platform, anywhere, at any time-particularly as they reimagine their digital infrastructures for post-COVID-19.

Many enterprises are struggling with understanding and overseeing increasingly complex and distributed environments due to the explosion of hybrid and private clouds, along with edge computing. More servers. More workloads. More users logging on from disparate locations and devices. Managing and securing these environments while gaining visibility across these environments has become a necessity for digitally transforming enterprises.

This is where SaaS comes in. It provides a single console for management and allows administrators to use their tools without having to worry about the hassle of keeping them up to date. A SaaS app does all that for you.

Mobilize your workforce easily with cloud platforms.

Having servers monitored today isn’t much different from the past two decades. Each morning, IT admins look at the red, which means they look at all the critical issues for keeping things running. They are completely reactive. However, with SaaS management platforms, intelligent analytics, and AI, everything shifts to a proactive model. In addition to identifying critical issues, the system makes hands-on recommendations, based on historical data, on how to resolve the problem and prevent it from occurring again.

By engaging a cloud-based server management service, IT organizations can focus on more strategic matters, such as enhancing the customer experience and delivering value to the organization.

Once, managing from the cloud seemed like a bad idea, but it can be secured well and has many advantages. The computing assets may reside on-premises, in the cloud, or at an edge location. Unifying the processes can only be done with a cloud-based product as a service.

IT infrastructure managers can eliminate manual labor and automate server provisioning by accessing a cloud platform on a service or consumption basis.
