Make The Smart Choice For Customizable Industry-Leading Solutions
Your data center is where the action is.
It hosts centralized IT operations and equipment. It stores, manages and disseminates data. It houses the network’s most critical systems. And it’s vital to the continuity of daily operations. But today’s data centers require unique server solutions that run complex, business-critical workloads. As a result, more resources are needed to develop those solutions.
If you’re thinking the cloud is the ultimate panacea, you’re not alone. According to an Intel and Bain analysis, up to 80 percent of workloads will run on a cloud architecture by 2024. Also, 60% of IT workloads will run in the cloud by 2019 according to 451 Research.
How can you decide what should move to the cloud?
- Maximum uptime, performance and availability matter
- Acceptable end user response times matter
- Many companies that go to the cloud expect to save money
- But performance is tied to cost and comes at a premium in the cloud
- Just because something shouldn’t move to the cloud now doesn’t mean it can’t move later
