Reliable infrastructure isn’t just a nice-to-have for adtech companies It’s critical when time-sensitive bids are on the line “Due to the specific nature of the adtech domain, the reliability and stability of our infrastructure is paramount” said Mike Halchevsky, Chief Product Officer at GoNET But as many of us know, technology can sometimes go wrong. So, equally important is that you can get hold of your infrastructure provider when you most need them 👀 😅🙏 #adtech #adtechplatform #baremetal #infrastructure

Trying to choose between bare metal and cloud? It all depends on what your business needs With a credit card and a click of a button, businesses can buy cloud servers and get their businesses up and running. Which means cloud can be a great option for: - Companies in their infancy that don’t have their own IT team - Companies with very unpredictable scaling requirements (think the Netflix and Amazon Primes of this world) But there are some limitations that it’s important to be aware of – particularly if you have resource-hungry applications: - Some elements of the computing environment aren’t included in standard cloud packages - Because cloud environments are shared, they can cause over-contention issues that negatively impact performance So what about bare metal? Where bare metal really comes into its own is for predictable infrastructure usage Because bare metal customers have sole tenancy over their server and its resources, there’s: - No risk of over-contention - Greater reliability - Much more scope for customisation So, it’s often a great choice for businesses with incremental scaling requirements and those that need guaranteed performance and security And, of course, you don’t have to choose between one or the other. You can use both, together Combining a baseline of bare metal servers with cloud auto scaling allows you to benefit from the scalability of the cloud with the consistent performance of bare metal What’s your preference? Bare metal, cloud, or a combination of both? #infrastructure #baremetal #cloud

Attitudes to cloud computing are changing and businesses are starting to question the status-quo   Read more on why, and the hyperscale alternatives out there, in our latest blog:   https://lnkd.in/ds6emBE2    #cloudexit #infrastructure #hyperscalecloud
