European cloud orchestration software Flexiant announced on Tuesday it has published a whitepaper titled “Seven Business Reasons Why Moving Private Clouds to a Service Provider is a ‘No Brainer.”
The move comes a month after the HostingCon 2012 session where Flexiant founder and SVP of product Tony Lucas discussed how service providers can find their niche in the cloud.
In the paper, Flexiant CTO Alex Bligh makes the argument that the popular belief of the private cloud having multiple advantages over public cloud in the areas of data security, location and jurisdiction guarantees, is simply flawed.
He says the private cloud actually enables organizations to avoid compensating a service provider for their profit margin, along with the cost of having another party involved.
Flexiant’s whitepaper further investigates what economic and organizational business aspects drives the adoption of various cloud technologies.
The paper also looks at how the emergence of new cloud technology in IT purchasing budgets and how they directly influence service providers. The whitepaper also educates service providers on the advantages and disadvantages of public, private and hybrid cloud solutions.
Ultimately, Flexiant makes a strong case for the business advantages of a public cloud solution.
Those interested in reading the whitepaper can download a copy on Flexiant’s website.
Earlier this year, Flexiant raised an investment of $1.5 million and named John Pocock as chairman and George Knox as CEO.
