Q&A: Pick The Right BDR For Your Customers
By John Engates, CEO, Rackspace Hosting
All cloud solutions have their benefits and pitfalls; however, the most important aspect of selecting a cloud solution that works for you is understanding what your business needs are for cloud. Public cloud gives you the ability to quickly scale as needed by tapping into shared compute resources and offloading data and applications into the cloud. The benefit is that the cost to maintain this kind of cloud environment is minimal, and it's a flexible option for businesses with a level of demand that fluctuates frequently. One challenge some companies encounter with the cloud is confidence in the security of data in the cloud. Although cloud is extremely secure, some organizations must adhere to strict regulatory and compliance issues, and public cloud may not be the best solution. By contrast, dedicated hosting provides you with dedicated resources. These can be more expensive to maintain and are less scalable than public cloud offerings; however, they do provide an added level of comfort and security for enterprises concerned about their applications and data.
