The Battle Cry Of 2025: Do Cloud Local!
InfoWorld, Tuesday, October 1st, 2024
Businesses are recognizing the benefits of specialized GPU clouds, general-purpose IaaS providers, and regional cloud options.
Microclouds can have many names and offer many features. They can be hosted by a regional cloud provider or specialize in a specific use case, such as the rise of GPU cloud providers focusing on the exploding AI space. They could even be clouds that don't have an international presence and are instead located in a single country.
Microcloud vendors are all moving toward the same objective: Provide alternatives to the big public cloud providers by offering more business value and personalized services. So far, it's working.
