Requires only minutes or few hours to procure new databases, virtual servers, and services. Swift deployment.
Performance
Restricted to physical server location. Gets affected during traffic surge.
High availability globally regardless of traffic spikes by incorporating global data center networks & CDNs.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Offsite backups and additional systems are time-consuming, tedious, and expensive to manage & set up.
Automated backups are quicker yet error-free. Automated built-in disaster recovery mechanisms & geo-redundancy across multi-regions.
Evolution Practices
Very slow adoption process. Restricted access to the latest technologies. Lengthy deployment cycles.
No limitations on accessing the latest technologies. Swift prototyping and development cycles.
