“Public Clouds look cheap to start, but once you reach a higher scale, things start to get costly. You start wondering what to shutdown to decrease the huge cloud costs. You try to limit what people do, but no matter what limits you set, it is all about the profit the public clouds make and about what they put on top of their costs.”
“When you use a public cloud you don't need an infrastructure team. However clouds force you their infrastructure maintenances in a way you will never experience with your own. They just shutdown your servers and you need to be prepared to launch automatically a replacement one. Our company is here to offload you from infrastructure work as well, so partner with us and things will work like a charm. And we are still cheaper than the public clouds. During outages public clouds prioritize based on money they get, in cases of a major public cloud outage, no matter how critical your outage is you can stay into the queue for a long time. It is not the case if you use our services.”
“Public clouds offer additional services like database clusters, basic firewalls and etc. This is a major pro of public clouds. However this also binds you to them. If you want to move out from a cloud, lets say for costs or stability or regulatory issues it might be too hard and slow to get out.”
“If you have a government customer, or say a hospital as a customer, or a telco as a customer you probably know they want the they need the servers into the country. If you are having realtime services, say you are a stock exchange trading company, you want to be close to payment gateways. The actual datacetner location can let you get the top customers and give them the best quality.”
“Don't get us wrong - public cloud are very secure overall. However if you are developing something unique, if you have secrets you don't want the competition especially in the face of Google, Amazon and Microsoft to hear then you better stay of them. For example you should not develop a flights search software ontop of Google Cloud,when Google has a flight search tool. It is like having your backup in North Korea, when the government can go to the North Korea datacetner and ask for all of your data and protection keys to be provided. Nowadays even phones listen to what you say to give you better ads. Thet can read your customer's HTTP requests and they can understand what you do, how you do it, which are your customers and how many. And they can takeover that business idea that you have. For the best security chooose your own datacetner. If there is a breech you will be informed. If there is breech in the public clouds you may never learn about it.”
