Organizations can choose between off-premises and on-premises cloud storage options, or a mixture of the two options, depending on relevant decision criteria that is complementary to initial direct cost savings potential; for instance, continuity of operations (COOP), disaster recovery (DR), security (PII, HIPAA, SARBOX, IA/CND), and records retention laws, regulations, and policies.
Organisasi dapat memilih antara opsi penyimpanan awan di luar lokasi dan di tempat, atau campuran dari dua opsi, tergantung pada kriteria keputusan yang relevan yang melengkapi potensi penghematan biaya langsung awal; misalnya, kesinambungan operasi (COOP), pemulihan bencana (DR), keamanan (PII, HIPAA, SARBOX, IA / CND), dan merekam undang-undang, peraturan, dan kebijakan penyimpanan.
