Thinking about venturing into the cloud? Where would you start? What you should absolutely not do is approach your transition to the cloud the same way you planned your traditional storage. You should start with understanding the value of your data; take a ‘data centric’ approach.

While bring your own device (BYOD) and mobility initiatives through cloud services continue to rise, modern organizations need to manage costs and provide secure data access to the right person at the right time to satisfy geographically dispersed workforces and improve business agility.
