Build your cloud foundation through VM Migration with Google Cloud
On-prem resources do not provide any tangible benefits. In fact, they’re a burden. Legacy systems do not add value to businesses and constrain staff due to continuous infrastructure procurement and maintenance. On-prem systems prevent an organisation from scaling with ease.
A common misconception is that migrating existing workloads to the cloud is complex, time consuming and risky. With the right planning, however, organisations can rapidly establish good migration practices to accelerate migrations and lower risk.
