The unexpected shift

Disillusioned from the Cloud, more organisations are now looking at cost-effective, secure prefab containerised Edge Data Centres for business agility

- SHISHIR MIGLANI

Cloud computing was the hottest trend in the tech world promising to transform businesses, slash IT budgets and bring in a new era of agility. Companies boarded the cloud computing bandwagon shifting everything to the cloud, chasing a dreamlike state of cloud utopia.

But for many corporations, the dream turned sour with the realisation that the cloud is not a standard solution for every business. This delayed realisation is forcing companies to return to the familiar ground of on-premises cloud and data centres. What is expediting this trend is the unexpected fee and charges model of cloud companies and security concerns of public cloud that force costly resource costs on enterprises.

In these shifting scenarios, prefab containerised Edge Data Centres (EDCs) emerge as a compelling alternative, offering cost savings, security and flexibility. In essence, these private clouds fulfil the promise of cloud flexibility and agility. Besides, the predictable costs and direct ownership of data centres and on-prim cloud solutions have enhanced this appeal for companies.
