What kind of Cloud are you?
Take a look up at the sky and you’ll see tons of different types of clouds: Altostratus, cirrus, fractus, and cumulus, just to name a few! If your team was a cloud, which one would you be? Take this quiz to find out.
In the process, we’ll also introduce you to another type of cloud lookalike—a company who decided to make the switch to Atlassian Cloud.
You’re an altostratus cloud, just like Sun Life! Altostratus clouds frequently indicate that a warm front is approaching. Kind of like how a migration to Atlassian Cloud meant sunnier days on the horizon for Sun Life!
Sun Life unlocked a brighter future on Atlassian Cloud. Not only did Cloud’s security and compliance capabilities meet their strict financial services requirements, they also allowed the team to offload maintenance tasks and increase user productivity—resulting in $250k in time savings in the first 10 months.
You’re a stratus cloud, just like Rockwell Automation! Stratus clouds develop horizontally and generally produce layers of connected cloud cover across large surface areas.
Similarly, Rockwell Automation was on a mission to connect its people and technology and created more secure, connected enterprises on Atlassian Cloud. After migrating, Rockwell saw a 90% reduction in maintenance overhead with greater uptime and increased speed across global locations.
You’re a high cirrus cloud, just like Ginkgo Bioworks! High cirrus clouds are some of the fastest moving clouds, much like Ginkgo Bioworks - who migrated to Cloud to allow them to scale more quickly.
By moving to Cloud and converging around Jira Service Management, the Ginkgo Bioworks team is on track to more than triple their output and cut costs by over 50%.
You’re a fractus cloud, just like Software AG! Fractus clouds can look ominous, but they aren’t actually dangerous and don’t usually attach to larger thunderstorms. So no need to worry!
Like many European businesses, Software AG wasn’t originally sure whether a cloud deployment would meet the EU’s (and their own) stringent requirements. And the prospect of migrating seemed more ominous than it should have. In reality? Nothing to worry about. By partnering with Atlassian, Software AG found it’s possible to have leading security practices on cloud at the same time that capacity is freed up to focus on more strategic topics.
You’re a cumulus cloud, just like Castlight Health! Cumulus clouds are some of the most productive clouds in the sky. In fact, most forms of heavy precipitation fall from cumulus clouds. And Castlight Health - who migrated to Atlassian Cloud to transform their business - knows a thing or two about productivity!
Migrating to Atlassian Cloud enabled them to stop worrying about Server updates and allowed them to focus more on their mission and increase productivity. The team says since moving to Cloud they’ve “dramatically” reduced total costs, eliminated downtime and maintenance, and bolstered security.
You’re a cirrocumulus cloud, just like Lucid Software! Cirrocumulus clouds are layered clouds that often line up in rows across the sky, looking like a team assembling to take on a big project. Kind of like how Lucid Software assembled their migrations A-team to get to Atlassian Cloud quickly!
As a SaaS company themselves, Lucid knew their internal tools like Jira and Confluence couldn’t be on-premise solutions. Originally, they estimated a 6 month migration timeline… until their CEO asked: “how do we get to Atlassian Cloud now?” Lucid’s admin team engaged the help of a Solution Partner and were able to successfully migrate in 30 days. Now Lucid can spend their time building great products, rather than maintaining servers.
