Your own unique blend of public and private Cloud flavours… with sprinkles!
Cloud computing has proved transformational for organisations ranging from startups to global leaders, allowing them to design, manage, and scale their IT infrastructure with a level of agility that would previously have been impossible. This widespread embrace of Cloud transformation is helping drive a range of new innovations, including Cloud-native security, integration with edge computing platforms for IoT applications, and the next generation of AI, ML, and big data platforms.
However, while 87% of organisations believe this wave of digital transformation will prove disruptive to their sectors, only 44% feel ready for the changes that are coming. With this in mind, it's important that any migration to the Cloud is made with clear goals in mind, utilising the right blend of platforms, in order to deliver the best possible ROI.
So, let's take a step back and look at the different Cloud 'flavours' you can choose from…
Is it time for a new approach to Cloud transformation?
In broad terms, Cloud computing can still be divided into three types:
- Public Cloud - where Cloud instances are offered as a managed service by an external provider.
- Private Cloud - where an organisation maintains its own Cloud infrastructure, either onsite or in a data centre environment.
- Hybrid Cloud - Bespoke combinations of public and private Cloud solutions, typically designed to achieve specific performance, security, or compliance requirements.
A 2024 survey found that 97 percent of organisations worldwide favour public Cloud for its inherent scalability and cost control, but for certain applications - particularly when data sovereignty, compliance, and geolocation are key priorities, private Cloud infrastructure remains the only viable option.
So, if, like many organisations, you are considering which workloads would benefit from migration to the Cloud, there are a lot of options to consider. But that's why EXPO.e Networks offers a tantalising selection of public and private Cloud 'flavours', ready to deploy individually, or as sophisticated hybrid and multi-cloud models, where multiple solutions are intelligently integrated to fulfil the most specific requirements, whether that involves performance and availability, governance and compliance, or cost control and scalability.
