Everything is connected to the cloud these days, or at least that’s how it seems. Is now the right time to connect your appliance to the cloud? I’m afraid you get that answer that everyone dreads—it depends. There are some things you need to know before you can accurately answer that question.

It has to do with things like the amount of workload you are projecting, the amount of control you want to have over your device, and so on.

To be sure you’re headed in the right direction and provide some guidance, Dell has put together an article called Thinking of Moving Your Appliance to the Cloud? Five Things You Must Consider. It likely won’t answer every question that you have, but it’ll certainly point you in the right direction.
