MAKE THE RIGHT INFRASTRUCTURE DECISION
Cloud vs On-Premise
Compare the practical business impact of hosting your infrastructure with CirrusWorx instead of buying and maintaining your own servers.
| Consideration | On-Premise | CirrusWorx Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront hardware | Large capital purchase | Predictable service model |
| Hardware refresh | Periodic replacement required | Infrastructure managed as a service |
| Scalability | Limited by installed hardware | Resources can be adjusted to requirements |
| Remote access | Requires additional design and maintenance | Designed for hosted access |
| Physical server room | Space, power and cooling | Hosted infrastructure |
| IT maintenance | Business responsible for physical environment | Reduced physical infrastructure burden |
| Business continuity | Requires internal disaster planning | Backup and continuity options can be built into the solution |
The real question isn’t “cloud or server?”
It is whether owning physical infrastructure gives your business enough value to justify the capital, maintenance, security, power, cooling, backup and replacement responsibilities that come with it.
