“The cloud,” a word that used to cause network folks to roll their eyes, is now a reality. Public cloud architectures are quickly becoming the backbone, no pun intended, of the corporate IT infrastructure. There are some compelling reasons for this. The first that comes to most people’s minds is price, but that’s not really true. The greatest misnomer of “the cloud” is that it is cheap, although it may be inexpensive to try out, or to put minor business assets in the cloud. For small businesses, it is a panacea. A credit card and a few hours at a keyboard gives you your own office network - one that has many 9’s of uptime, and that you can reach from anywhere in the world. But larger and more established businesses - that have much larger needs - quickly realize that replicating of older and more traditional architectures in the cloud can get very costly very quickly.
Many of those companies experienced a large learning curve over the last two years.
