Cloud Computing Persuasive Memo

In the world of technology, cloud computing has surfaced as the dominant innovative means to better utilize and store data surface. Currently, we back up our data on Coca-Cola servers. The servers have satisfied our needs but we are in need of an efficient means to store our data. In particular, we should make the transition to cloud computing with Microsoft Azure. Microsoft is among the leading cloud providers in the world and will provide our company with cost-effective solutions, better security, and flexibility. Making this transition will enhance our operations to better serve our customers.

Cost Effectiveness

Microsoft Azure is cost effective. It will save us money by first lowering our hardware costs. We will no longer have to buy expensive equipment; Azure will take care of our hardware needs.

Technical systems are easily compromised and it would be in our best interest to invest in a secure cloud service like Azure. Security is Azure top priority when serving customers, as it implements high-level security protocols. The data we store in the cloud will only be accessed by Coca-Cola employees and third-party buyers we approve. Our data will be stored remotely on the internet and not on our current onsite servers making it difficult for intruders to steal our information. Azure is also more secure as it will provide us with disaster recovery. If a natural disaster were to strike our servers, all of our information would be completely wiped out. However, Azure can prevent this situation from occurring as the cloud stores information virtually, allowing us to recover our data even if our hardware was physically destroyed. Lastly, Azure is secure in that it offers around-the-clock surveillance. Azure operators are constantly checking systems to ward off intruders. Better security will keep our data protected
