Cloud in GCC: Which Cloud to Migrate?

Do you want migration of your business to cloud? What then is there pulling you back? Is it the challenge to select which cloud service provider to be fit for your requirements?

If this is it what you’re facing exactly, then you’re not alone on this earth facing it! There are many like you who are also put to pass through this gauntlet. Factors at which you can point your finger include the confusing costs, benefits and methodologies of cloud service providers for migration of a business to cloud. What you need to do first is to check whether the service provider is competent enough to provide you with this service for smooth transition of your business to cloud.

Here are some quick-takes to filter out a right cloud service provider in GCC:

•         Check if the service provider is ISO27001:2013 Certified.
•          Competent to meet international standards
•         Offers flexible, reliable and scalable services
•        Offers on-demand virtual machines backed by strict SLA
•         32 GB of RAM and 16 CPU cores per virtual machine
