The rise of cloud computing has been one of the biggest transformations in technology over the past decade. The Flexera 2021 State of the Cloud Report found that 92 percent of enterprises now have a multi-cloud strategy and 82 percent have a hybrid cloud strategy.

Even with those overwhelming numbers, there still exists a gap in cloud services. Many businesses—often because of security and regulatory concerns—need instant access to files and can’t risk any delay in connecting to the cloud. How can a financial firm, or manufacturing plant in a remote location, enjoy the same benefits as its counterparts in more populated areas?

Managed services like AWS Outposts and Azure Stack provide a partial solution, creating secure storage solutions for data that need to remain on-premises. Both services create a hybrid environment of local and cloud access, while still ensuring low-latency access.
