For many businesses, a single cloud deployment model may be insufficient to meet the varying data needs across their departments. The size and visibility of your business may also impact your preferred cloud deployment model. For smaller startups, cloud deployment significantly reduces their upfront capital costs. For larger established firms with large amounts of data and several thousand customers, security and high performance is a greater concern. These factors guide how you choose your cloud deployment model. In these cases, you may need to consider a hybrid or multi cloud strategy.
