The cloud model is here to stay. In fact, more organizations are expanding their infrastructure directly into some type of cloud platform. Initially, there were concerns about the operation of a cloud. It was a new technology, adoption was low, and many businesses were worried about resources. The modern cloud has come a long way. Organizations clearly see the direct benefits of working with a powerful hybrid cloud infrastructure.
As more applications and computing resources move to the cloud, enterprises will become more dependent on cloud vendors, whether the issue is access, hosting, management, or any number of other services. Even in today’s IT environment, cloud consumers want to avoid vendor lock-in—having only one cloud provider. They want to know that they will have visibility into data and systems across multiple platforms and providers. They want to be able to move servers and storage around without a negative impact on application availability. With all of that in mind – is your infrastructure facing some growth challenges?
- Are infrastructure limitations holding you back?
- Users struggling with access to sufficient compute resources?
- Resources tapped out during peak demand times?
- Lack of budget, space or power to the environment?
