![]() and the hyperscale providers are more rigid in their payment methods,” Lyon said. Additionally, developers are looking for more flexibility in how they pay for their cloud services - Google Pay, Apple Pay, crypto, etc. “Pricing is less complex and is more affordable for an organization’s use case, and can often offer more or bundle services with the core offering that a hyperscale provider would not. The alternative cloud offers an avenue for enterprises to simplify their cloud infrastructure, while enabling developers to deploy and manage multicloud environments with access to open APIs.Īt the same time, organizations that do decide to move away from reliance on big three cloud vendors can also increase their overall cost-efficiency. Alternative cloud providers offer more simplicity of user interface, catalog, pricing, and a more manageable learning curve,” Lyon said. “So, in opting to go with an alternative cloud provider, benefits come with an ‘addition by subtraction’ approach. ![]() Some organizations struggle with the complexity of the hyperscale providers,” said head of cloud experience for Akamai, Blair Lyon. “The core benefits of the alternative public cloud are cost, performance, availability, security, agility for the organization. Though there are many reasons for this increase in adoption, at a high level, organizations are turning to the alternative cloud to improve their operational agility, and to enable themselves to build multicloud environments that meet their exact business needs, rather than a “best fit” solution. While alternative cloud providers like Linode can be traced all the way back to 2003, it is only as more organizations have experimented with the cloud that alternative cloud adoption has picked up steam. What’s driving the appetite for the alternative cloud? This appetite toward the alternative cloud was also highlighted in a new study released by Techstrong Research and Linode yesterday, which showed that while 93% of organizations use the top three cloud providers: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Compute, almost two-thirds are considering or are ready to buy from a trusted alternative cloud vendor.Īt this stage, it appears that the appetite for affordable and agile alternative cloud solutions is growing amongst enterprises, and in future could grow to even rival the big 3 public cloud services. Over the past four years, adoption of alternative cloud solutions has almost doubled to the point where now 27% of organizations use an alternative cloud provider such as Akamai’s Linode, DigitalOcean or OVHcloud.
