Today, the cloud’s perceived scale and economics aren’t a luxury –

your customers expect both.

For MSPs, this expectation introduces competition:

public cloud services, such as AWS, Azure and Google.

The MSP business model thrives when providers add features, solutions and

expertise, while also delivering the consumption models customers expect in today’s hybrid world.

But according to RightScale’s “2017 State of the Cloud Report,” public cloud adoption

is soaring – while “adoption of private cloud is flattening across all providers.”

Here’s the thing: enterprise CIOs and IT leaders

tell a different story.

Public clouds are very expensive, despite their lack of

infrastructure management costs.

Deceptively low public cloud fees don’t

reflect data migration costs, egress fees

the expense of IT management of yet

another infrastructure footprint.

Public clouds can’t be customized.While MSPs and enterprises

negotiate, public cloud services let customers pay for what they get.

Meanwhile, object storageclouds are revitalizing

the private cloud space.

Historically, private clouds were built with OpenStack or CloudStack. Today’s object storage clouds are scalable, cost-effective

and powered by commodity hardware.

For MSP customers, object storage clouds make private cloud a strong alternative

to the public cloud and simplify data storage, cut costs, guarantee security and leave plenty of room for added services.

Do your customers need backup and DR services? Are they setting up for long-term

hybrid cloud strategies? No problem.

Private cloud isn’t going anywhere. With object storage clouds, customers

get a managed hosting experience

with the on-demand capabilities

and cost of a public cloud.
