Cloud Paves The Way To AI. But Understand What Your Cloud Providers Aren't Telling You
Cloud sticker shock: that's what many CFOs experience after a period of time with cloud services, as usage and data transfer and storage costs mount. Those savings from "renting" compute services and applications versus buying it all quickly vanish. But it's not about the money saved — instead, it's about the money made through agility, speed to market, and innovation.
How does AI impact cloud provider negotiations?
The growth of artificial intelligence has shifted the balance in negotiations, giving cloud providers more leverage. As businesses increasingly rely on cloud services for AI and machine learning, understanding the cloud business becomes essential for customers to navigate these negotiations effectively.
What should customers know about vendor lock-in?
Vendor lock-in remains a significant concern when transitioning to cloud services. Many cloud providers promote flexibility, but utilizing their native features can make it challenging to switch to another provider without modifying applications and databases, essentially moving from one locked environment to another.
What responsibilities do cloud providers have for data management?
Cloud providers typically do not take responsibility for cleaning up existing data issues before migration. Customers must address inefficiencies and poorly designed storage systems on-premises, as moving these problems to the cloud will not resolve them and may even exacerbate the situation.
