I never understood the logic behind companies abandoning their own data centers and moving their gold (Data is the new gold) into somebody else hand. I see that many here are also thinking in the same line.
But when I spoke to a CTO of a F500 company. This was the take he had. He feels one of the major driving force is to reduce the carbon foot print of the company. His company is designing the system to have the crucial data on their own infrastructure but keep they other data & do the processing of cloud service. Instead of relying on 1 provider, they are using multiple. Also supporting some small local cloud providers.
This seems very relevant for a logistics company with a huge of fleet of air craft. Especially considering the upcoming carbon tax.
