Does your business need a Data Centre or a Cloud in GCC?

Let come to the point direct. Cloud suits small and mid-range businesses while a Data Centre is ideal for corporations and large businesses. Budget is the deciding factor for their choice, if not all.

That being said, budget is almost everything that fixes choice of data storage solution for majority of businesses, it is never implied that data safety and security could be staked at the expense of budget only. There are several other factors, crucially responsible for leading to a decision to choose from.

Let’s get a quick-view of service features of Data Centre and Cloud. 

Since a data centre gives full control over data and equipment of a business, it should be ideally suitable for organizations that run several types of applications and complex workloads. This doesn’t mean Cloud is less competent for data storage given the proposition of control over stored data. When a business owns a private cloud, it equally gets the same control competence.

Making selection of a Data Centre Service and that of a Cloud in GCC:

Simply proceed keeping in mind of your requirement for data storage, budget, predictable future requirements, scalability needs, and of course, the level of data security and safety you need.

In view of these considerations, making a selection out of these two ought to be easier. Do keep in mind that advanced cloud services are no less competent than a data centre infrastructure. Cloud Services also allow for prototyping of servers, offering a business construction of cloud server on flexible ownership model, with features of expandability of storage, RAM, customization of cloud desktop, and guaranteeing security and reliability of cloud based backup. Together they can complement features and benefits of a data centre infrastructure.

What wisdom then prevails over businesses to go for data centre services?

In the IT ecosystem, role of data centre is intrinsic and ineluctable. There could be various replacement options but they are only in piecemeal entities and could never be a whole option to replace. Consider making a choice of a data storage option. Data is actually stored somewhere in a data centre even if one uses cloud.

Data centre is an on-premise form of cloud computing when cloud is an off-premise form. Costs to build a data centre infrastructure involve millions or sometimes more, following sky-high responsibility, management and maintenance, which most of the organizations want to evade for they want to keep focus on core business areas only.

But, for those who deal with huge data and applications, they must look for security and safety of their data and ubiquitous accessibility tops their priority too. Cloud being the external form of computing may be less secure and takes more work to secure stored data than a data centre.

So, do cloud services stand out of consideration?

Never, because cloud is globally connected when data centre is locally. Access you data and applications from anywhere anytime with proper credentials and Internet connectivity. It opens up a wide array of entry and exit points, all of which need to be protected to ensure that data transmitted to and from these points are secure.
