The Digital Battle — Cloud vs On Premises

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cloud is here and adaptation is happening at a faster rate than ever, but is it the most secure and effective place to store data? For many workloads, the cloud is the obvious place to be. </span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">On the latest Digital Battle, Craig Brown and Mark Pendergast reluctantly end up on the same side of the battle as they take a hard look at the pros and cons of storing data on the cloud versus on premises, including the workloads that are best suited for each option, which is most cost effective, and the benefits of standardization across the board. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On today’s podcast, you will learn:</span></p> <p><strong>Mark’s opinion</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mark’s vote starts out on premise. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The cloud is only applicable in certain circumstances, and is very use-case driven. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">There are trade-offs with both, but on premise is more widely accepted. </span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Craig’s opinion</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">According to Craig, cloud lets the innovator win. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Cloud enables faster innovation and offers the capabilities of a big corporation. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Security is continually enhanced, making cloud a safer option. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Cloud offers less investment with more capability. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Cost is less of a limiting factor with the cloud.</span></li> </ul>
