数据迁移到云平台_迁移到云的论点

数据迁移到云平台

It might seem laughable these days to think some people are still afraid of moving to the cloud. But the pandemic has brought to light that there are, in fact, companies that still have their doubts about this disruptive technology. It could be a culture thing — some cultures have a particularly high internal locus of control which means they prefer to be completely accountable for their own results.

这些天来，似乎有些人仍然害怕迁移到云上似乎很可笑。 但是，这种流行病已经暴露出，实际上，仍然有一些公司对这种破坏性技术存有疑虑。 这可能是一种文化的东西-有些文化具有特别高的内部控制力 ，这意味着它们更希望对自己的结果完全负责。

In contrast, however, the very similar concept of outsourcing is now almost universally accepted as a way to reduce risks and generally to create a lean organization. I guess it’s a matter of what you consider as essential to your business and, therefore, kept in-house. I.T infrastructure, it seems, is one of those things a lot of software companies still consider essential.

但是，相比之下，非常相似的外包概念如今已被普遍接受，可作为降低风险和总体上建立精益组织的一种方式。 我想这是您认为对企业至关重要的问题 ，因此请保留在内部。 看来，IT基础架构是许多软件公司仍认为必不可少的事情之一。

软件的新性质 (The new nature of software)

Is infrastructure really essential these days though? In the present day, we’re finding fewer and fewer dependencies between our software and the hardware it runs on. Likewise, the vast interconnectivity between different software services has now made it counterintuitive to build software specific to a particular piece of hardware. Even when you need to, however, you now have the option to connect to other software providers who already have that hardware.

如今，基础架构真的必不可少吗？ 如今，我们发现我们的软件与其运行的硬件之间的依赖关系越来越少。 同样，不同软件服务之间的巨大互连性现在使构建特定于特定硬件的软件变得违反直觉。 但是，即使您需要时，现在也可以选择连接到已经具有该硬件的其他软件提供程序。

What this basically means is, today’s software ecosystem now allows developers to focus more on the business and product domain and less on the nitty-gritty technical details.

这基本上意味着，当今的软件生态系统现在使开发人员可以将更多的精力放在业务和产品领域上，而不必将精力放在细节上。

Software as a service and cloud computing go together perfectly, each complementing the other. The cloud makes it easy to provide a continuously evolving, interconnected service to your customers. Likewise, the wide array of options for affordable software as a service products online makes it much more sensible to use these tools (and their infrastructure, of course) instead of setting up your own.

软件即服务和云计算完美地结合在一起，彼此互补。 云使您可以轻松地为您的客户提供不断发展的互连服务。 同样，价格适中的软件即服务产品的在线选择范围广泛，因此使用这些工具(当然还有它们的基础结构)而不是自己建立自己的工具更为明智。

降低风险 (Risk reduction)

Unless you’re actually hands on with your infrastructure and don’t delegate, you’re not in direct control anyway and you should be more comfortable with having the experts handle it.

除非您实际使用基础结构并且不委托他人，否则您将无法直接控制，并且应该让专家更轻松地处理它。

One of the biggest things that gets people worried about moving to the cloud is — how do you ensure the security of your data and reliability of the system? While that does sound like a risk you need to mitigate, cloud computing itself could be the mitigation.

使人们担心迁移到云的最大问题之一是-如何确保数据的安全性和系统的可靠性？ 尽管听起来确实需要减轻风险，但云计算本身可能就是缓解措施。

After all, if you have to go through the process of qualifying and hiring someone who has the credentials and then decide on the ideal software and hardware to create security and reliability, doesn’t it make better sense to delegate things to an organization whose primary business it is to understand, build, and utilize these resources?

毕竟，如果您必须经过资格审查和雇用具有证书的人员，然后决定理想的软件和硬件以创建安全性和可靠性的过程，那么将事情委托给主要负责组织的组织就更有意义了。业务是要了解，构建和利用这些资源？

Yes, it can feel uncomfortable to know it’s not directly in your control. But unless you’re actually hands on with your infrastructure and don’t delegate, you’re not in direct control anyway and you should be more comfortable with having the experts handle it. After all, if high traffic, global companies like Netflix trust them, you probably can, too.

是的，知道它不是直接由您控制可能会感到不舒服。 但是，除非您实际上掌握了基础结构并且不委托使用，否则您将无法直接控制，并且应该让专家更轻松地处理它。 毕竟，如果流量高，像Netflix这样的全球性公司信任他们，您也可能也可以。

The pandemic has shown us just how much cloud computing has become an essential risk reduction measure, all but replacing the “I.T. business continuity plan” of old. Not every company has had the foresight nor the resources to prepare to work from home before all this happened. Those who operate mainly in the cloud, on the other hand, have had it much easier.

大流行向我们展示了多少云计算已成为一项基本的降低风险措施，几乎取代了旧的“ IT业务连续性计划”。 并非所有公司都具备远见卓识和资源，可以在一切发生之前准备在家工作。 另一方面，那些主要在云中进行操作的人则容易得多。

缺点 (The downsides)

There are valid downsides to moving to the cloud, of course. The primary one is economics — though even that can often be an argument for the move. While paying as you go (as you do with cloud providers) often is the more financially-sound choice, other factors — such as already having the hardware and resources to maintain your own servers — can come into play and deter you from making the shift.

当然，迁移到云存在有效的弊端。 主要的一个是经济学-但即使这通常可以为移动的参数。 尽管按时付费(与云提供商一样)通常是更合理的选择，但其他因素(例如已经拥有维护自己的服务器的硬件和资源)也可能会发挥作用，并阻止您做出转变。

Another one would be being locked in with a particular provider. As the cloud computing business is still relatively young, cross compatibility between different providers isn’t something that’s a priority at the moment. That means once you’ve start setting up your infrastructure, you’re likely locked in (at least for a while) to that particular provider.

另一个将与特定提供者锁定。 由于云计算业务仍处于相对较年轻的阶段，因此当前不同的提供商之间的交叉兼容性并不是当务之急。 这意味着一旦开始设置基础架构，就可能(至少一段时间)锁定了该特定提供商。

That’s not to say these downsides will always be a problem. At the pace the cloud business is growing these days, I think these issues will soon become a thing of the past. Then it will only continue to make less and less sense to keep your infrastructure in-house.

这并不是说这些弊端总是一个问题。 如今，随着云计算业务的增长，我认为这些问题将很快成为历史。 这样一来，继续保持内部基础结构的意义将越来越小。
