Public cloud took over mainstream thinking across the enterprise world in recent years, but we’re now seeing a slight backpedalling. IT leaders are looking to bring back the benefits of private cloud, building a hybrid version of the two. Patrick Smith shares why that is in this episode of The CEO.digital Show…
You don’t need us to tell you that the pandemic changed the way the world works.

What we’re seeing is a hybrid public/private environment revolution.

Often customers will provision enough capacity for an expected end state, which means they’re overprovisioning in the near-term […] they’re producing greenhouse gas emissions for tech they don’t expect to use for years – that doesn’t make sense.
