The year-on-year (YoY) growth of cloud storage and computing suggests an unstoppable trend of customers that have moved away from owning and running their own datacentres, compute, storage and networking hardware.
But although the cloud continues to grow - accounting for as much as 50% of the world's IT infrastructure - the trend no longer only favours the cloud. Perhaps they're a minority, but a significant number of organisations have gone in the opposite direction and brought storage and compute back in-house.
