\"Cloud
\nCloud Storage Dreams as pitched by the Marketing Department<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/center>Recently, I was in suburban Dallas talking over lunch with an old customer who has both on-premises and cloud-based storage. He painted a picture of how his Cloud \/ COLO salesperson sold the data center and services to him. The prices were affordable, their engineers and services were great, and the facility was just amazing. It sounded like paradise.<\/p>\n

The reality was somewhat different. The expected time and cost savings evaporated as a result of unexpected compatibility issues, service and support problems and incomprehensible billing.<\/p>\n

\"Old
\nOld MacDonald\u2019s Server Farm:
\nWith a quack- quack here and a pigsty there, E I E I OMG!<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/center>
\nOf course, it wasn\u2019t as extreme as Old MacDonald\u2019s Server Farm shown above, but it was bad enough that he now planned to slowly migrate most of his infrastructure back to his facilities, only keeping things like email with a cloud service provider. He still needed a remote data center for back up and DR, and wanted to talk to our engineering team<\/a> about a plan to bring things back on-premise and get control of his costs and QoS for his employees and customers.<\/p>\n

\"There's
\nOn-Premise. You know exactly where your data is!<\/i><\/p>\n
