By moving to the cloud, the company wants to save costs on cloud migration service in UK.
The company moved the greater part of its services to a virtual private cloud hosted on Amazon Web Services, which lets the client provide a private,
solitary section of the public AWS cloud so that it can launch custom-built resources as needed. AWS also offers storage available on tap over a web services interface to store and redeem data from anywhere on the web. It was an irresistible offer given that the client would pay just for the storage used by them. Despite that, about file server resource management, the company was limited to Windows DFS. There were limitations with Windows DFS, so the client wanted an alternative cloud storage option.
