You have heard me talk about the cloud recently and how I am trying to become more familiar with what it means for business. We have a special guest today. Kenneth Johnson, CEO of Blue Sentry, joins us to help us better understand the benefits of “the Cloud”.

There are a lot of implications for business when it comes to migrating to the cloud, and it can seem overwhelming. The best way to understand it is as a public utility company. It is the same way that water and electric companies provide utilities. An individual property can have a well and get water, but it is easier to have the water provided and managed by the water company. The cloud is like public utilities for your data storage. You can spend the time and resources to build your infrastructure. Or you can build huge data centers with a few lines of code by utilizing an already existing infrastructure.

Often, companies are slower to utilize cloud services because they fear security issues. There have been many advancements in this area, and it can be safer than maintaining your own data services. If you are considering making the change to cloud-based services, make sure you train your team. Find a company that specializes in not just getting your migrated, but also in the knowledge transfer needed to maintain the change. Cloud-based services can give you a competitive advantage if you educate yourself and become familiar with them.

Blue Sentry specialized in teaming with companies looking to better utilize cloud services. If you are interested in connecting with them, you can email Kenneth at [email protected].
