Cloud Myth # 3: Cloud computing is an all-or-nothing proposition

InfoWorld’s David Linthicum has it right — there are many Cloud myths that just won’t go away. His contends that, rather than taking an all-or-nothing approach to Cloud computing, you can instead “move to cloud-based systems, such as storage and compute services, as needed, both intersystem and intrasystem. Moreover, you can move in a fine-grained manner, shifting only certain system components, such as user interface processing or storage, and leaving the remainder on premises.”

We find many of our customers (old and new) are taking advantage of the integrated/hybrid IT solutions EasyStreet can design and build for them. These custom designs can combine a number of components, including Private Cloud, Multi-Tenant Cloud or colocation services, to create the best solution based on that particular customer’s needs. (Yes, the word “solution” is overused, but I can’t think of a better one to use in this case.) With our fast point-to-point or Internet connectivity options, some part of the infrastructure can even be kept on customer premises while the rest resides at EasyStreet. (This is the “fine-grained manner” David was writing about.)
