data-driven decisions that improve their overall performance ,” Watts states .
Watts believes that embracing the cloud is done through the implementation of four steps :
• Assess The first step is to assess how all your IT resources – both on-premises and in the cloud ( if you have some in the cloud ) – are being used today . Using infrastructure analysis tools that give you visibility across the stack , on-premises , and in the cloud .
• Analyse The second step is to analyse how your data is being used , including where it sits and how active it is . We ’ d advise using technology that helps your company understand what data you have and how it is being used . A whopping 68 % of data is cold data ; discover , classify , and identify that data so that it can be moved to more sustainable cloudbased storage .
• Move The third step is to move appropriate data to the cloud through migration , backup , and tiering . Public cloud provider data centres may be more energy efficient and sustainable than traditional data centres . Using hybrid cloud-aware , secure , and efficient migration tools will allow you to migrate your workloads to the public cloud faster and more efficiently , which means you can take advantage of sustainability at scale .
• Store sustainably The final step is to use energy-efficient storage for the data that remains in your data centre .
