Storage & Compute
Storage & Compute
According to a report from Forester Research, an estimated 60-73% of data that businesses store are not processed.
Large Enterprises and Cloud Services Providers have recognised that data and IT services should adopt a hybrid model of on-premises compute and storage, as well as cloud services. This blended methodology would better address data latency, data privacy and a balanced return on IT investment.
3 Key Factors that Enterprise need to Consider
when developing the storage and compute capabilities for their company.
Scalability and Manageability
The flexibility to scale “near instantly” with cloud services and the ability to manage sensitive data locally.
Agility
The agility to move data that are seldom used to storage facilities that are lower in cost per petabyte to minimize cost.
Total Cost of Ownership
Consideration of owning versus leasing cloud-based storage/ compute
What Are My Options?
Cloud
Cloud computing delivers on-demand computing services -- from applications to storage and processing power -- typically over the internet and on a pay-as-you-go basis.

On-Premises Servers
On-premises means software & hardware infrastructure deployed & operating from within the confines of your organisation.
Many companies are not able to host sensitive data on the cloud due to data privacy compliance .

Hybrid
In hybrid solutions, businesses embrace both the cloud and local data to improve their IT agility and maximise efficiency.
This method allows your organisation’s data and applications to move between on-premises servers and clouds for greater flexibility and more deployment options.
The hybrid solution allows you to get the cost-effectiveness of the public cloud and the security of your data.
