2. Re-platform — This is where you move the data and applications to a cloud without making many changes, but optimize applications based on what is available on the cloud.
3. Re-factor — This is moving applications to a cloud, while making major updates with the objective in mind to both make it more suitable for the cloud system and enhance their performance.

• Disaster recovery — By moving to a cloud, you eliminate the risk of information being lost completely, whether that be a fire, theft, or an accidental deletion.
• Better security — A cloud storage system will allow you to control, both internally and externally, who has access to certain documents. Encryption algorithms have precise controls so only authorized parties can access a file.
• Easier on the budget — Once you reach the limit of a service's free storage, you can pay in increments for more. Usually, that costs less than on-premises storage. Set-up and maintenance are also cheaper than physical storage.
• Automation — Some cloud systems let you set up automated processes to help you become even more efficient.

2. Platform-as-a-service (Paas) — This is kind of a DIY option, where you pay for all of the development tools and infrastructure needed to make a cloud application, and then use those to build your own.
3. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) — In this model, your New York City, NY organization is freed from on-premises storage by renting the servers and placing your cloud application there.
