The Challenges Organizations Face:
Companies require access to reliable, scalable and cost effective infrastructure to build their services and store their data. The Cloud has answered this need by providing access to large-scale compute, network and storage resources delivered As-a-Service. This offers some very enticing benefits.
- Agility and speed decreasing time to market for new applications.
- Scalable, durable and geo-redundant resources and services available on-demand.
- Rapid innovation and access to bleeding-edge technologies and services.
- An operational expenditure (OpEx) model vs. a capital expenditure (CapEx) model.
- Cost savings through resource optimization and utility billing models.
These advantages can be a game changer, allowing organizations to differentiate themselves in a competitive market, but come with additional risks that must be considered and addressed. Clarify Cyber can help organizations understand these risks and bring clarity to the complexities associated with Cloud.
