Why do you think optimising cloud computing has become the preferred model for most businesses to modernise IT portfolios ? How does optimising cloud computing create agility within a company ?
The original promise of the cloud was attractive to businesses because of the security , flexibility and agility of the cloud infrastructure model and the cost benefits of converting capital expenses to operating expenses . The pace of cloud adoption accelerated because of the drive toward Digital Transformation , and cloud adoption picked up again due to the pandemic .
What ’ s interesting about the cloud space today is that in an environment where a handful of hyperscale cloud providers dominate the sector , there ’ s emerging demand for independent , enterprise-grade cloud options . That demand is being met by independent cloud providers .
