This document discusses reasons for migrating to the cloud and challenges involved in cloud onboarding. It notes that the amount of digital data is growing exponentially and will soon reach 1 zettabyte. Migrating to the cloud can provide benefits like more storage space, lower costs, and improved availability and performance. However, cloud onboarding presents challenges like preparing servers and clients, replicating mail files, and getting users to complete steps. Tools from IBM can help automate some onboarding processes. The document also discusses how to analyze user activity data from Domino logs and databases to better prepare for migration.

The Digital Universe - continued
The irony of the digital universe is that, while
most of it (almost 70%) is created by the
actions of individuals – taking pictures, watching
digital TV, being captured on surveillance
cameras in airports – enterprises have contact
with, and therefore liability and responsibility for
more of it (85%), such as account information,
email addresses, location stamps, and so on.
