Businesses Moving From Amazon's Cloud To Build Their Own

Posted by samzenpus on from the on-my-own dept.

itwbennett writes "There are rumblings around this week's OpenStack conference that companies are moving away from AWS, ready to ditch their training wheels and build their own private clouds. Inbound marketing services company HubSpot is the latest to announce that it's shifting workloads off AWS, citing problems with 'zombie servers,' unused servers that the company was paying for. Others that are leaving point to 'business issues,' like tightening the reins on developers who turned to the cloud without permission."

      That sounds like a great idea! We can call it a Personal Cloud, or PC for short.

    Businesses don't want to miss the next big thing but like most decisions, time will tell. "I've looked at clouds from both sides now, From up and down, and still somehow It's cloud illusions i recall. I really don't know clouds at all"

      On the upside, it makes it now possible for a business to say "Hey (hey), you (you), get offa my cloud!"
