Migrating to the cloud is a popular cost-savings strategy for businesses, which is driving the cloud migration market to grow at an anticipated compound annual growth rate of nearly 29 percent through 2027. But getting to the cloud is only part of the journey. It’s important that your clients’ workloads are landing on the right hardware. If not, they could be overpaying, and you could be underearning. That’s where Intel can help.
Otava is one cloud services provider that knows how important it is to match their customers’ workloads with the right instances in the cloud. This lets Otava unlock the latest features from the underlying hardware. This helps their customers get more for the money they are spending in the cloud and grow their business by expanding their service offerings. “We go in and analyze what they’re doing today, determine where those workloads belong, and we try to put those in the proper cloud,” says Peter Bell, senior vice president of sales at Otava.
Bell discovered how understanding more about the underlying technology as well as working with the right partners can help grow his business. “Intel was very interesting when we met with them. They have a lot of things they can do which I wasn’t aware of in terms of helping us understand how the compute and chipsets running on servers really work a lot more closely with what we’re running from a software perspective to give a customer a more secure opportunity to run their business,” says Bell.ADVERTISEMENT
Partners who build and sell PCs and servers have likely been working with Intel for years to ensure they’re building in all the innovation that is included in every new generation of their compute, storage and networking products. But, people are now becoming more aware that the same principles should be applied, even when workloads are being moved from an on-premises data center to the cloud. “It’s important for customers to understand that certain workloads are going to work better on a certain cloud,” says Bell. “And, if Intel is building that into their chips which will be getting built into servers, that’s going to dramatically improve the experience for customers. Better performance, lower price and more flexibility in terms of where they can put their business.”
