Is your business in the process of planning a server migration? You might be doing this to increase your storage capacity, improve your response times, or achieve another important benefit. Whether you anticipate your server migration is going to take several weeks or several months, it is never too early to start planning for the process.
As you plan for a server migration, the first thing you need to do is determine which type of server to go with. Today, you have many options at your disposal. For example, you can choose a hardware-based solution or a cloud-based solution, depending on factors like your business’ internet connection and speed, the bandwidth you have available, and the amount of data you have to store.
It’s also important to think about your server migration’s timing. In most cases, it’s a good idea to start thinking about migrating your servers when your hardware is approximately three years old. And if you don’t start this process by the time your hardware is five years old, it’s time to do it as quickly as possible to protect your data’s integrity.
