Why It’s Time to Take Your File Transfers to the Cloud

By 2020, the demands of next-generation apps and new IT architectures will force 55% of enterprises to upgrade their existing data centers or deploy new data centers, according to IDC. At this rate, data center maintenance and expansion is becoming less and less resource-efficient. Upgrading server hardware and facilities can require frequent and, at times, excessive usage of your capital expenditures (CAPEX) budget that could be allocated to other projects. 

One of the benefits of using a managed platform with cloud hosting is the ability to scale up or down freely at a low cost. With EFT Arcus you pay a monthly usage-based fee, which offers you the flexibility to choose from either your operational expenditures (OPEX) budget or your CAPEX budget. This option, combined with a better return on investment, can make for an easier sell to business decision makers.

The scalability of EFT Arcus keeps your business nimble and able to quickly respond to changing demands. Because EFT Arcus has been developed to be elastic, its resources can ramp up or down almost instantaneously depending on the load. On-premises hardware requires weeks of planning and implementation to perform that responsively. With EFT Arcus you can start send/receiving files, sharing data and building workflows immediately.
