[Results] 2020 Cloud Service Provider Survey by Ace Cloud Hosting

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, cloud adoption is on the rise. Not only enterprise-level businesses but start-ups and SMBs are making the transition to the cloud to benefit from its remote accessibility and security features.

However, some businesses are still hesitant to migrate their operations to the cloud due to some security and budget considerations.

However, a reliable cloud service provider offers multiple security safeguards such as firewalls, anti-virus protection, IDPS protocols to ensure that your application and data to the cloud are safe. They also provide higher levels of uptime to increase your efficiency.

But wait, if you’re already using the cloud services, did you consider all these factors before selecting a cloud service provider?
