TELEHOUSE FOR TECHNOPHILES AHEAD IN THE CLOUDS |
Posted: March 28, 2017 |
Cloud Migration Is Critical to Enterprise IT Agility According to a study by IDG, enterprises are predicted to invest an average of $2.87 million in Cloud computing technologies this year, nearly a quarter of their total IT budgets. Many of the reasons cited for enterprises’ migration to the Cloud revolve around increasing a company’s agility and the ability to get Cloud-based applications, such as Salesforce, Microsoft Office 365 and Cisco WebEx, up and running quickly and affordably. In fact, 84 percent of CIOs report that they have cut application costs by moving to the Cloud, while nearly half of enterprises are moving to the Cloud to replace on-premise, legacy technology, and 43 percent for reasons of lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Sunny, with a 100% Chance of Productivity and Savings Other statistics surrounding the growth of enterprise Cloud migration are equally telling:
Even with the massive growth in migration to Cloud infrastructure, there are still a few holdouts that point to issues such as security, integration with existing IT infrastructure, and information governance — especially in heavily-regulated industries, such as healthcare and financial services — as presenting obstacles to Cloud adoption. To be certain, there are various types of Cloud services — Public, Private and Hybrid — each of which have their unique advantages and disadvantages with respect to mode of operation, efficiencies and return on investment. So how do IT executives determine which among the various forms of Cloud infrastructure is right for their businesses? Unlike a meteorologist, whose ability to predict whether partly cloudy means to expect drizzly or sunny skies is often challenged, with a little information you can indeed accurately assess which Cloud infrastructure is appropriate for your organization, now and into the future. That’s because Cloud services fall under three simple categories. Public Cloud Public Cloud consists of a service or set of services purchased usually on a monthly recurring basis and delivered via the internet from a specific provider. The services run on server, storage and data center infrastructure that is not exclusive to the user, but is shared infrastructure. In selecting the Public Cloud option, a company offloads much of the responsibility of managing the infrastructure to the Cloud vendor, significantly reducing personnel costs and capital expenditures of the business.
