Passage: For years, worldwide organisations have become increasingly excited about the prospect of a cloud-based future. As the dream becomes an ever-closer reality for many kinds of business, Forrester predicted that enterprise spending on cloud services is set to surge. IDC also predicted that global spending on public cloud services and infrastructure would reach 210 billion in 2019, an increase of 24% from 2018. But one obstacle stands to create friction and introduce risk: the process of migration. As all indications point to a massive shift in data deployments to the cloud, it is more important than ever that the transition from on-premises to cloud is as risk-free as possible. In today's climate, any loss or disruption to data can have a huge business impact. It is a complex process, is frequently underestimated, and many organisations have found there's lots that can go wrong that can impact the business. Question: How does the process of migration stand as an obstacle to cloud technology?

1. The expensive cost of providing safety to the data.
2. The lack of sound technology in Artificial Intelligence.
3. Complexities of the data migrated to the cloud
4. It exposes the companies to the risk of losing important information.

Correct answer: It exposes the companies to the risk of losing important information.

Solution

The passage says migration creates friction and risk because any loss or disruption to data can have a huge business impact. This directly points to the risk of losing important information during the move to the cloud.
