Recommendation
Today, a growing majority of successful businesses are data driven; but running an in-house data center is often not the best choice for these companies – particularly when it’s unrelated to their core business. Data centers require a complicated infrastructure, and they are expensive. Increasingly, companies like Uber are outsourcing that function to cloud computing services like Oracle with the idea that they can simultaneously increase innovation and cut costs. But public cloud services aren’t necessarily a cure-all. A “hybrid cloud strategy” may be a better alternative.
