With Atlassian’s decision to end support for Confluence Server in 2024, many companies are deciding that migrating to Confluence Cloud is the correct move for them. But for others, that same move can seem daunting and confusing.

Why should you migrate to Confluence Cloud?
1. Cut operational costs
When you migrate, Atlassian securely hosts your Confluence instance in the cloud. Without the need for a dedicated in-house infrastructure, you can reduce your hardware and maintenance costs.
2. No more maintenance worries
Running and maintaining your own servers isn’t only expensive - it can be time-consuming, too. When you migrate to Confluence Cloud, Atlassian handles the ongoing maintenance for you, which saves you precious resources and the time of your team.
3. Get automatic updates
With Confluence Cloud, updates and fixes happen automatically. This means your team doesn't have to spend precious time manually implementing upgrades or security patches, which also means better continuous security.
4. Scale effortlessly
Is your organisation growing? Confluence Cloud automatically scales to handle more users, which means you don’t need to buy and maintain extra hardware before new hires can access Confluence.
5. Access groundbreaking new features
If you’re a forward-thinking company, you might want to enjoy the latest features Confluence has to offer. With Atlassian prioritising feature development in Confluence Cloud, you can access the newest innovations, like Atlassian Intelligence, to boost team collaboration and get more done.
6. Say goodbye to data loss
While your Data Center instance is likely hosted on local servers, Confluence Cloud’s data is stored across multiple locations. This adds a layer of security against outages and data loss. And if the worst happens, Confluence Cloud comes with automatic backups, so you can easily retrieve data that would’ve been lost forever if you were on Data Center.
7. A smoother learning curve for everyone
With its use of CSS and HTML for styling, Confluence Data Center comes with a learning curve that can be off-putting to many users. Confluence Cloud simplifies content creation, so you don’t need to be a tech expert to create pages that look good and engage users.
