Cloud vs On Premise

Cloud Vs On Premise

Cloud vs On Premise comparison

With rapidly changing technological space in the IT/ICT industry, there are many deciding factors on whether a Cloud-based infrastructure OR an internal infrastructure (On-Premise) is the right fit.

As an IT company, many of our clients ask us “Cloud-based OR On-Premise”. The truth is there is no one size fits all and every company’s IT needs differ. Many companies are struggling and unable to move forward to Cloud-based solutions, still relying on On-Premise applications.

On-Premise IT infrastructure

Data security is always paramount. Businesses in highly regulated industries still prefer to have On-Premise solutions as they can have better control over their IT infrastructure. Data located within in-house servers and IT infrastructure might also provide more peace of mind to management.

However, maintenance costs are getting higher. An On-premise set-up requires in-house hardware, integration capabilities, software licenses, staff & external resources, space to host IT resources, electrical & cooling systems, and unforeseen circumstances that cost more.

Cloud-Computing

Cloud computing differs from an On-Premise IT setup. A company hosts everything in-house in an On-Premise environment, while in a cloud environment, a third-party provider hosts all that for you. This allows companies to spend as per their IT needs and adjusts the cost up/down depending on overall usage, user requirements, and their organization’s growth. Companies in general had to pay for the resources used only.

Cloud-based solutions provide backup features to safeguard one’s data. End-users can access the resources anywhere around the globe with very minimal effort.

Various forms of cloud computing (such as public cloud, private cloud, and a hybrid cloud) are available. In a public cloud computing environment, resources are hosted On-Premise of the service provider, but enterprises can access those resources and use as much as they want at any given time at a cost.

Few organizations still have a concern about data security & privacy as compared to On-Premise solutions, but with effective implementation of security policies, data safety is better ensured in the cloud without compromising data integrity.

Hybrid Cloud Solutions

While the debate of the pros and cons of an On-Premise vs cloud computing environment that is going on for quite some time, many enterprises are looking into another model that offers the best of both worlds.

Hybrid cloud refers to mixed computing, storage, and services environment made up of on-premises infrastructure, private cloud services, and a public cloud—such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure—with orchestration among the various platforms. Using a combination of public clouds, on-premises computing, and private clouds in your data center with an effective WAN connection means that you have a hybrid cloud infrastructure.
