What was the opex before cloud?
- devonkim 7y agoData centers and the contracting companies’ overhead of managing them. If they’re not that great at it, you lose a lot in terms of availability, business agility, etc. Like, imagine using Softlayer as your provider except even worse. You have to manage ticketing systems for these folks specifically, you need to handle leases for colocation, ad infinitum when you have to manage an enterprise class datacenter and even then it doesn’t mean you get enterprise results.
