But many organizations are still using on-premises storage solutions, even if they’ve adopted cloud native technologies for other elements of their tech stack.
They tend to: Once you’ve invested in an on-premises storage solution, all of the above issues and more make it very sticky, more specifically, on-premises storage solutions feature a high degree of vendor lock-in.
Typically, such services and products are offered on a self-service basis; rather than pay a large fee for monolithic technologies that you may or may not use to their fullest extent, cloud native solutions, and cloud native storage in particular, lets you pay as you go.
In terms of price, risk, effort and all the other costs associated with going cloud native, it’s getting easier to switch from on-premises to cloud native storage.
