Episode Description

The cloud. Shopping for cloud solutions based solely on price? Look deeper, say the experts. Jeff Anders: “Nearly everyone is under the gun to save money and looking for that ‘silver bullet’ to solve their problem, but even the most skilled hunter can shoot himself in the foot sometimes. Cost is only one factor when trying to decide between public, private and hybrid cloud solutions.” Allan Krans: “It may be time to rethink everything you know about private cloud. Current stereotypes of private cloud as the secure and more costly alternative to public cloud are rapidly eroding as adoption grows…many early adopters are already achieving costs on par or lower compared with public cloud benchmarks...” Xavier De Romagna: "If hybrid cloud is here to stay...what are the implications?” Madhuri Chawla: “Cloud computing – is it an evolution or a revolution?” Join us for more insights on Best Bang for your Buck: Private, Public, or Hybrid Cloud?
