Depending upon the critical nature of the data, need of accessibility, frequency of accessibility the organization must decide which data can be moved to the cloud and which can remain at on-premise data centres. Cloud infrastructure provides better data security measures as compared to on-premise data centres. Organization must also decide the cost involved in storing data on-premise v/s on the cloud infrastructure.
