"Move everything to the cloud" is rarely the right answer — and neither is keeping everything on-premises. The best setup depends on your workloads, compliance needs, and budget. Here is how to think about it.
When the cloud wins
For email, collaboration, and apps with variable demand, the cloud (Microsoft Azure, AWS) offers scalability, resilience, and no hardware to maintain.
When on-prem still makes sense
Latency-sensitive systems, large local datasets, or strict data-residency requirements can favour keeping certain workloads on-site.
The hybrid sweet spot
Most growing businesses land on hybrid — cloud for agility, on-prem (or private virtualization with VMware) for the workloads that need it, connected securely.
Plan the migration
Whatever the destination, a phased plan with backups and a rollback path keeps the transition low-risk.
