Cloud providers are popping up out of the ether.
On one end, you have the mega-clouds that are elastic
and plastic…
On the other end, you have small local integrators
standing up just two boxes and calling it a cloud.
You need to protect yourself by
asking the right questions
in the right way….
Question 1
• Can you please define what you mean when you call
yourself a cloud services provider?
• What exactly do you do and where is your sweet spot in the market?
Question 2
• What is your infrastructure?
• Is this a highly available resource?
Question 3
• Is this scalable – and what does that mean to you?
• Are you limitless in your capacity and my consumption or do I need
to project my growth in any way?

compare to existing disk you are using today?
