Topic: Beyond the Cloud: The Rise of Hybrid, Hyperconverged & Software-Defined Infrastructure
Key Highlights:
[1] An enterprise could, for instance, evaluate where each workload should sit rather than automatically choosing the cloud, weighing factors such as cost, data sovereignty, latency, residency and talent.
[2] Consider a scenario where an enterprise estimates its cloud deployment at $100,000 a month, only to find the actual cost reaching $185,000. That $85,000 gap could create a significant hole in the overall IT budget.
[3] An organisation may initially move several workloads to the cloud, but greater technology and organisational maturity could enable it to make a more informed assessment of which workloads genuinely belong there.
[4] A typical example of the cloud value proposition could be its ability to provide elasticity during spikes in computing demand while shifting spending from upfront capital expenditure to operational expenditure.
[5] An enterprise could also face a situation where declining computing costs are outweighed by the intensity of AI workloads, resulting in higher overall technology spending despite cheaper underlying compute.
[6] A mature enterprise could increasingly treat cloud as one option among several, determining workload placement based on economics, unit costs, sovereignty, resilience, latency, residency and talent rather than following a cloud-first approach by default.
