Is your organization bleeding cash in the public cloud while trying to deploy modern container and AI workloads? You are not alone. Smart organizations are pivoting towards private cloud solutions. Join us to discover why tech leaders are rethinking their cloud strategy and where AI workloads should reside.
For anyone who follows IT technology trends, we are starting to witness a shift away from native public cloud services and organizations are actually repatriating workloads back to on-premises data centers. Organizations that are on a mission to modernize IT view public cloud as a solution that offers the flexibility, scalability and agility needed. At the same time, issues surrounding security, compliance and cost control are persistent.
When measured against these criteria, private cloud infrastructure emerges as a strategic choice for enterprises seeking to balance agility, performance, compliance and security. As David Linthicum, a renowned expert and thought leader in AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity space highlighted in his blog, modern private clouds serve as a strategic platform that integrates enterprise-grade security, predictable costs, and advanced capabilities that compete with public cloud counterparts.
Join David and I on March 26th for our Webcast Mythbusters: Private Cloud and their Public Value, where we will seek to dispel many of the misconceptions that exist around private cloud infrastructure.
Myth: Private clouds are inflexible, expensive, and incapable of scaling to meet today’s dynamic business environments. This is an outdated and fundamentally flawed narrative as modern private clouds can be robust ecosystems capable of delivering remarkable scalability, security, and control.
Myth: Private clouds are just stepping-stones to public clouds. Private clouds are robust ecosystems in their own right, and in many cases they can extend to support hybrid and Edge cloud deployments.
Myth: Private clouds cannot achieve the same scalability as public clouds. This is another outdated misconception as modern private cloud architectures, especially those built on platforms exhibiting enterprise-grade scalability with both vertical and horizontal scaling capabilities. Hybrid capabilities enhance scalability by allowing workloads to burst into public cloud environments when private infrastructure reaches capacity.
Myth: Private cloud implementations always have unfavorable Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to public clouds due to significant upfront capital investment. While there is an upfront investment required for private cloud, the long-term TCO of a private cloud often proves more favorable for organizations with predictable, cost predictability advantages and resource optimization opportunities within private clouds.
While public clouds offer the allure of as-you-go resources and potentially lower upfront costs compared to private cloud infrastructure, they can introduce unpredictability in pricing due to variable fees, usage-based models, and potential cost spikes. This lack of cost predictability, especially regarding data egress and unexpected usage, can be a significant downside for organizations relying on public cloud services.
This live session will break down these topics and many more in an unscripted, interactive discussion that aims to provide insight, best practices and practical guidance on how to get started on your private cloud journey.
