There are a variety of reasons that this is a bad situation. First off, you’re locked in to old technologies and setups that cause you major problems when you have to send people home to work (ala COVID-19). Secondly, all your trusted data is sitting behind a usually lightweight internet connection which makes it horrible to reach remotely. Then you have the dreaded circumstance where that server gets a virus or worse still, ransomware and it’s lights out to your business. Remote servers that you can scale up and down as you need, turn on and off as you need and available and backed managed permanently are the right way to run your business. You can forget the need to wait days to upgrade a server, it’s done in minutes and the network can be turned up and down whenever you need it. This is true flexibility and the power of what you get from Cloud servers. If problems arise, restoring from backup is super-fast and your business doesn’t lose productivity.
