As a service
Whether internal or external, the pressure to control data costs and risk is real. Yet, businesses also need to respond and make changes when faced with new demands. As-a-service approaches have gained popularity as a modern answer to such challenges.
The introduction of public cloud brought with it a model for scalability that relies on pay-as-you-go pricing. Fewer upfront costs and pricing that’s more aligned with usage inherently gives a business more agility — a key attribute in today’s competitive marketplace.
With hybrid cloud strategies becoming more and more the norm, though, the financial implications of public cloud versus on-premises can be difficult to navigate.
Additionally, decision-makers are grappling with:
- Managing risk while ensuring storage resources are ample
- Reducing CapEx and aligning consumption with financial outlays
- Meeting the need to scale rapidly in a dynamic business climate
- Simplifying capacity planning and flexing to public cloud
As-a-service models have emerged as a significant opportunity for businesses to take advantage of consumption-based pricing for on-premises infrastructure.
