Cloud computing has vast benefits for organizations of all sizes: lower cost, better reliability and security, and more time to focus on strategic business - all without the pain of upgrading to the latest applications or worry of growing storage and backup concerns.
| Motivation | Reason |
| Reduced cost | Online backup allows an organization to escape maintenance and upgrades of key infrastructure hardware and software and media for less on-going cost to support. |
| Greater security | Most organizations do not have encryption or protection from human error, loss, or sabotage. |
| Increased storage | Online backup provides much more storage capacity for a fraction of the cost of on-premise solutions. |
| Better Business Continuity | Organizations no longer need a secondary site for failover with the dual maintenance, cost, and risk. |
| Strategic focus | Without the burden of errors, updates, and backup of key infrastructure, IT staff can concentrate on customer service and strategic core business. |
| Capital expenditure reduction | Online backup reduces the server, storage, media and related software licensing like for on-premise backup infrastructure. |
