Cloud Computing Continues to Trend Upwards

Clare Computer Solutions (CCS), a professional services firm providing IT solutions for companies in the San Francisco Bay area since 1990, is seeing an upward trend in cloud computing and cloud consulting services from companies.

We have seen an increase in cloud adoption and interestingly many companies are choosing the aspects of cloud-based IT that will serve their needs now and are keeping the remainder of the IT infrastructure on-premises

There are several drivers for this decision. For instance, there are some cloud migrations that are relatively simple and offer an apparent quick return on the investment. This may include email services, data and image backups and some Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings.

Another driver is timing. Companies are not highly motivated to move IT workloads from on-premises equipment that is still within its useful lifespan. As that equipment nears its end-of-life, then companies are more willing to consider the cloud as an alternative to purchasing more hardware.

Companies are also discovering that some aspects of their IT simply won’t work in the cloud, and in some cases, may never be a good fit.

Interestingly enough, cost is not a major driver in cloud decision-making. Companies may prefer their IT costs to be operational expenses rather than capital expenditures but overall, cloud computing does not have obvious benefits when it comes to total cost.

This doesn’t mean the cloud is right or wrong – it is a valuable alternative and we are seeing more and more companies incorporating cloud services as needed to realize the benefits of cloud computing’s scalability and agility.  The technology has matured to the point where a hybrid IT infrastructure – some in the cloud, and some on-premises – is able to deliver the best that both options have to offer.
