Companies are increasingly turning away from cloud as they shift their data and workloads back to on-premises platforms, but is this the right move in a world
where cloud is evolving asks, companies are turning back the cloud clock, repatriating workloads to on-prem solutions because cloud introduces security risks, isn’t performing to expectations, and is adding more zeroes to the bottom line than anticipated. There are already case studies –the developers behind Basecamp, have walked away from cloud and other names are following suit – which has, for some, signalled a trend.
While there is plenty of hype around the concept of cloud repatriation and the headings are as dramatic as those claiming the mainframe has died , companies need to pause before they walk from cloud. Regardless of the direction you want to take your business, you need a clearly defined strategy that outlines workload demands, costs, efficiencies and use cases.
Companies are losing their love for the cloud because not enough work is being done to evaluate their environments correctly at the start, and because they don’t realise how many tools and services exist in environments like Azure which are designed to help them do just that. These tools give companies options when it comes to deciding their cloud futures because they offer insight into expenditure and give finance teams the data they need to make informed decisions.
