Both private and public cloud model will continue to co-exist

Dr. Rajeev Papneja, COO & EVP, ESDS Software Solutionpoints out that for various reason, cloud has become a synonym to “Public Cloud”, whereas it is not so. “We can always have Private Cloud deployed On-Prem. We should not be choosing one over the other as both have their own advantages,” he says. “Both have been co-existing and will continue to co-exist. A Hybrid Cloud model, I believe is the right approach. A CIO needs to decide the right mix of workloads that remain On-premise versus the ones that move on public cloud. This is a continuous effort, as the workloads on public cloud having matured at some point might make more sense to be migrated On-premise for various reasons. While public cloud gives flexibility & cost advantage for short term usage, On-premise provides with granular control over security, data & its privacy, compliance & regulations and control at architecture level to meet demands of specific applications.”
