Transitioning from an on-premises server to a cloud-based serverless solution can seem like a nerve-wracking experience. But making the leap can generate a wide range of benefits for your business.
While on-premises servers have long been the go-to solution for businesses, a growing number of organisations are now beginning to embrace serverless IT, migrating their data into the cloud.
Serveless IT is just that: serverless. It means that, rather than storing data on-site, it’s instead stored in huge public data centres where it can be accessed on demand, from anywhere, at any time.
Embracing serverless IT
Cloud computing is – as you probably already know – one of the biggest business technology trends today. And so, as you might expect, there are multiple different solutions for going serverless.
A common question we’re often asked here at Reliable Networks is this: what is the best serverless IT solution?
And for us, it’s an easy question to answer.
While each option certainly has its own merits, we believe that Microsoft 365 can bring a number of major advantages to businesses across a huge range of industries and sectors. So much so, in fact, that it’s the primary focus of our white paper exploring the benefits of a serverless IT solution.
The reason we recommend Microsoft 365 for businesses transitioning to serverless IT is simple. The solution’s extensive range of tools, apps, features, and functionality makes moving away from on-premises servers a straightforward and secure experience. Ultimately, we see Microsoft’s cloud solution as being the easiest and safest option for the people that matter most: your employees.
Why transition to the cloud?
Transitioning from an on-premises server to a cloud-based serverless solution can seem like a nerve-wracking experience. But making the leap can generate a wide range of benefits for your business.
For example, Microsoft 365 enables businesses to migrate their file services to SharePoint and OneDrive, completely replacing their local file servers. It provides the option to move domain services to Azure Active Directory and Intune. This ensures that all employees can easily access the resources they need, when they need them, via the cloud. And it provides enhanced security through Single Sign-On and Defender, to streamline user management and simplify the authentication process.
Bringing all these things together can create a set of powerful benefits that deliver real business results; tangible outcomes that can give organisations a competitive edge in the digital space.
If you’re interested in delving into these benefits in more detail, we suggest taking a look at our ‘Benefits of a Serverless IT Solution’ white paper. Here, we explore how Microsoft 365 can help organisations to reduce costs, increase security, improve collaboration, enhance productivity, and boost compliance. These are some of the key factors that businesses must be prioritising to build a smart, robust, future-proofed company. A company that has what it takes to thrive in an increasingly digital-first world.
