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 given cloud providers a stronger position in negotiations and contracts. As companies increasingly rely on cloud services for the compute power and data storage necessary for AI and machine learning, understanding the cloud business becomes essential for customers.
What should customers know about vendor lock-in?
Vendor lock-in remains a significant concern when using cloud services. Many cloud providers promote the idea of flexibility, but if customers utilize a provider's native features, transitioning to another provider often requires modifying applications and databases. This means customers may find themselves moving from one restrictive 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. If a company has inefficiencies or poor data management practices on-premises, those issues will likely persist in the cloud. Customers need to address these problems before migrating to ensure a smoother transition.
