by Simon Aspinall A horse race is a complex environment, with many factorsthat contribute to performance. The term “horses for courses” stems from thefact that a racehorse performs best on a racecourse to which it is specificallysuited. While this phrase is transferable to various situations, it serves as acritical starting point for enterprises that are trying to determine their ITand cloud computing strategies. Just as some horses perform better on certaincourses, some applications run better in certain clouds.
All enterprises have complex ITenvironments consisting of many applications, and a majority of theseorganizations are increasingly accepting cloud as a new IT operations model. CIOsmust then decide which applications are appropriate to run in the cloud, andwhich cloud will enable them to perform as efficiently and effectively aspossible. Private, hybrid and public clouds all come with pros and cons, and eachare suited best for different applications when it comes to performance.
Availability, cost, security, compliance, flexibility,scalability, and multi-tenancy play a crucial role when determining deploymentoptions. Enterprises need to consider these criteria, and check the boxes thatbest apply to them and their workloads.
