On-Prem vs Cloud vs Hybrid: Choosing the Right Mix

The 'cloud or on-prem' question rarely has one answer. Most organisations land on a deliberate mix.

The options

On-prem gives control, predictable cost and data locality. Cloud offers elasticity and low upfront cost. Hybrid blends both — keeping sensitive or steady workloads in-house while bursting to cloud for flexibility.

How to choose

Weigh data-residency rules, performance needs, cost patterns and in-house skills. Steady, predictable workloads often suit on-prem; variable ones suit cloud.
