- yholio 5y agoSure, but you need to put it into Powerpoint and sell it as the next big thing in cloud computing: your cloud provider no longer offers you shared, cheap virtual servers that anyone might be using at the same time, but 100% dedicated servers in the cloud, with unmatched reliability, stability and performance. You just might impress top brass and convince them to get on this bandwagon before they are disrupted.
- harpratap 5y agoHow is Hetzner not a cloud computing business? You click a few buttons and get a a ready-made infra from an already provisioned pool of hardware. This is by definition cloud. Maybe it doesn't have all the bells and whistles from the big 3 cloud vendors but Hetzner is very much Cloud computing
- Nextgrid 5y agoIt's not "cloud" in the sense it's not AWS, GCP, Azure, etc and is orders of magnitude cheaper (and bandwidth is free). But yes technically it's "cloud" in the sense that it's still someone else's computer for rent.
