But should we run our own data centre, move everything to the cloud or have a hybrid solution?

If we decide to run some or all of our own IT, do we use a co-location data centre, a Virtual Data Centre, build our own comms room or buy modular Data Centre?

That decision is not easy and it depends on various factors specific to your organisation's requirements, resources, and priorities. Let's explore options to help you on the road to an informed decision:

Moving all systems to the cloud

Scalability: Cloud environments offer virtually limitless scalability, allowing you to easily expand your resources as needed.

Cost efficiency: Cloud services often operate on a pay-as-you-go model, enabling you to optimise costs by scaling resources up or down, based on demand.

Maintenance and updates: Cloud providers handle infrastructure procurement, maintenance, security updates, and backups, reducing the burden on your IT team.

A virtual data centre (VDC) and the cloud are related concepts, but they are not the same.

Definition: A virtual data centre is a software-defined data centre environment that uses virtualisation technologies to abstract computing resources (CPU, RAM, storage, networking) from physical hardware. It allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical server.

Deployment: VDC is typically deployed on-premises or in a private cloud infrastructure. It involves managing and optimizing virtualised resources within an organisation's own data centre or dedicated private cloud environment.
