MomentumSI Partners on Private / Hybrid Cloud

Why self-service private cloud?
  • Improved agility — Deployment cycles shrink from months to minutes, making IT far more responsive to business lines and other internal customers.
  • Reduced capital expense — Utilization of hardware capacity improves dramatically due to elastic provisioning and de-provisioning of services.
  • Reduced operating costs — Software infrastructure and provisioning processes are standardized and automated. Control is decentralized to decentralized constituents.
