5 reasons why your business should move to IaaS now
Digital transformation is no longer a topic of the future – it is a reality. Companies that modernize their IT infrastructure today secure decisive competitive advantages. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions such as sc synergy’s OpenCloud offer exactly the flexibility, scalability and security that modern IT architectures demand. In this article, we will show you in a well-founded and practical way why the switch to IaaS now makes strategic sense.
Maximum flexibility and scalability – without compromise
In a world where business models and requirements are constantly changing, your IT must also scale flexibly. IaaS allows you to provision IT resources such as computing power, storage and networking on demand – to the minute and without any lead time.
With OpenCloud, organizations can:
- Provision servers within minutes,
- Distribute workloads across different locations,
- Automatically scale as needed.
Study findings: According to Edge Computing DACH 2024, 76% of companies see increasing data volumes as a critical factor and rely on dynamic infrastructures that scale on-demand.
Cost efficiency through usage-based billing
Traditional IT requires high initial investments (CAPEX), causes ongoing maintenance costs and often entails hidden ancillary costs. IaaS transfers the model to a pure OPEX structure: you only pay for what you actually use.
OpenCloud offers:
- transparent pricing models,
- flexible tariffs (e.g. pay-as-you-grow),
- no hidden costs.
According to Gartner, in 2025, IT spending will be preponderant among service providers. This shows that the market is clearly shifting towards cloud-based use.
Security and compliance at the highest level
With the entry into force of the GDPR, BDSG, as well as new regulations such as NIS2, data security is becoming a top priority. The OpenCloud offers 100% data storage in German data centers – with physical, technical and legal security.
Your benefits:
- ISO-certified data centers in Germany,
- full compliance with European data protection directives,
- Access controls, encryption, monitoring, and audits.
94% of companies rate European standards in the cloud as crucial (Leaseweb Study 2024).
Smooth integration and easy migration
Many companies are reluctant to move to the cloud for fear of complex migration processes. But with the right platform, the switch becomes a calculable project.
OpenCloud supports you with:
- Compatibility with existing workloads,
- automated migration tools,
- German expert support around the clock.
According to the Bitkom Cloud Report 2024, IT integration is one of the biggest challenges. But companies with experienced partners manage the switch efficiently and with minimized risk.
