Cloud vs Data Center

Storing your organization’s data has become the most important decision you or your CIO will make. The on-premise data center – a valuable asset both the hardware and network itself needs configuring, customizing, management, and maintenance, in addition to having highly trained personnel. Having this complete control is ideal for many companies.

In the cloud-based solution, you rely on someone else’s hardware and infrastructure. Paying for just what you need with cloud computing vendors, can be a cost-saving venture for some organizations. Adding storage as needed gradually increases cost over time. Having a reliable cloud partner is essential to overall security risk and protecting your data.

HCGi has in-depth solutions for both the cloud and traditional data centers. Our solutions architects, account managers, and vendor partners will work to ensure you have the ideal configuration for your organization.
