Where will your Datacentre be in 2025?
The Cloud?
Well, Mark Hurd the co-CEO of Oracle Corp says so and he’s hoping this means Oracle’s. According to the Wall Street Journal, he expects that 80% of corporate datacentres to disappear by 2025 as cloud services become the primary way that IT services are consumed.
“The movement to the cloud “isn’t just about technology, it’s about a business model, a new way of thinking about our industry. That’s why cloud is as much a CEO and CFO discussion as a CIO and IT discussion.”
The bad news is that cost predictability for migrating an uncontrolled and unmanaged estate to any cloud service provider could be a major issue as costs and the freedom to provision services becomes more dynamic.
The good news is SCC has a new cloud migration strategic service that can offer advice, guidance and risk assessment on the following aspects:
