“ Data gravity issues and digitalisation may result in increased interest in multi-cloud solutions which are better able to compete on price , availability and resiliency ”

41 broadly achieved , companies may be drawn to private cloud as an alternative to public cloud storage which is too expensive to maintain . “ The cloud has proven not to be as cheap as businesses were , perhaps , expecting it to be , but what ’ s the trade-off ?” Brown asks . “ Is converting ‘ time-to-market ’ faster more of a business focus than bottomline operating costs are ?”
The balance of flexibility , accessibility and cost-efficiency offered by hybrid cloud might account for recent widespread interest in it . Although public cloud offers a convenient ‘ off-the-peg ’ solution for those wanting to consolidate their data , private cloud allows for transformational control of the entire framework . However , for the sake of efficiency , businesses should save themselves reinventing the wheel and simply augment a public cloud with the added features necessary to make it representative for their operations . The compatibility of the resulting hybrid will be determined by careful selection of the private cloud ’ s basepoint and the public package chosen .
