Moving to the cloud is on the mind of most CIOs and IT decision makers. The seemingly lower total cost of ownership, automatic updates and redundancy entice many to move their applications and infrastructure to the cloud.

However, cost is just one concern when moving applications to the cloud. For many organizations, the decision of whether to move an application to the cloud will rely on a number of factors.

How important is it for the application to be scalable?

How secure does the application need to be?

Are there any compliance concerns?

Are disaster recovery, uptime, and remote access critical for the application?

How easily can the application be managed on premise vs. in the cloud?
