What Happens When Your Public Cloud Provider Goes Down?
A recent whitepaper by Rackspace digs deeper into that story. Here are a few clips of that whitepaper for you take consider:
"Dropbox, for example, found significant cost savings by shifting workloads from Amazon AWS to an internal private cloud. Public IaaS can be cost effective for initial development, but comparatively more expensive than private clouds as organizations grow, increasing processor and storage requirements."
"Enterprises are also concerned about data location for compliance and regulatory issues. The nature of the data (personally identifiable financial or health data) or the location of the storage facility (due to national or regional data warehousing regulations) often rule out public IaaS offerings. Organizations with particular sensitivity to data security, including financial institutions and governments, may be required to avoid public IaaS."
For many reasons, including those mentioned above, BVoIP is happy to have partnered with Rackspace to provide our partners with the right recipe to succeed in the Cloud UC arena.
