Organizations often face the dilemma of choosing between  #onpremises  servers and a  #cloud -only approach. Let’s explore the pros and cons of each: Costs and Maintenance: On-Premises: Requires upfront capital investment in hardware, installation, software licensing, and IT services. Ongoing costs include staff salaries, energy expenses, hosting fees, and office space. Regular updates and replacements add to the financial burden. Cloud: Subscription-based model, reducing upfront costs. Managed by the cloud provider, minimizing maintenance efforts. Scalability without significant capital investment. Security and Compliance: On-Premises: Provides direct control over security measures. Suits organizations with strict compliance requirements. Cloud: Robust security measures implemented by cloud providers. Compliance certifications (e.g., ISO, SOC) for data protection. Shared responsibility model: Cloud provider secures infrastructure, while you secure data. Scalability and F...
