Introduction
In the modern era of digital transformation, the evolution of infrastructure from isolated, on-premises systems to a cloud-like experience is not merely a trend but a necessity.
As enterprises navigate the complexities of maintaining legacy systems while seeking the agility and scalability offered by cloud environments, the challenge is clear: how can traditional infrastructure be made to function with the fluidity and efficiency of the cloud?
The answer lies in the cloudification of these infrastructure islands, a process that redefines how hardware and services are consumed, managed, and scaled. This shift is not just a technological upgrade but a fundamental change in the operational and financial models of IT.
From Capex to Opex: The Financial Shift
One of the most significant changes brought about by cloudification is the transition from capital expenditure (Capex) to operational expenditure (Opex).
Traditional infrastructure demands significant upfront investment in hardware, with the associated costs of maintenance, upgrades, and eventual obsolescence. This model …
