Cloud migration is now the new buzzword in the world of business. The leadership of nearly every company knows what this process is and what it means for the long-term growth of their business. But taking a company’s workloads from on premise and migrating them to the cloud is not the only scenario. What does a company do when it already stores its data in a cloud but wants to relocate it to another service provider? How can a company ensure a multi-cloud strategy without affecting business operations? These are just two examples of why companies might want to carry out a cloud to cloud migration.
At first glance, it may seem pretty straightforward to move workloads around once they are in the cloud. But in reality, it requires deep expertise and experience to ensure a smooth migration without failures along the way. A company must make sure it has a trusted partner to help it migrate safely and securely from one cloud to another. The RiverMeadow SaaS is the ideal solution to address this challenge according to a recent benchmark study carried out by Rick Blaisdell.
Before discussing the challenges that companies might experience during a cloud to cloud migration, we should first explain why a company would want to migrate to a different cloud in the first place.

Here are a few specific reasons why a company might want to migrate to another cloud:

Fortunately, there are ways to solve these problems before they even become, well, problems!
