Pulsant ’ s latest quarterly survey of UK IT and business decision-makers revealed that business decision-makers are three times more likely than their IT counterparts to question cloud-only strategies .
With business leaders questioning increasing hyperscale cloud costs and vendor exclusivity , IT leaders will need to explore hybrid alternatives including colocation and private cloud infrastructure .
“ Our platformEDGE infrastructure , in Rotherham and across the UK , is supporting the increasing number of business decision-makers challenging cloud-only strategies on cost and vendor lock-in grounds and their IT counterparts who see the limitations in the hyperscale model ,” added Cranham .
“ The Rotherham data centre investment cements Pulsant ’ s domain expertise in the Edge infrastructure market , adding further capacity to its platformEDGE infrastructure to reach businesses across the UK .” �
