"Cloud First" is shifting to "Cloud Smart". For stable, predictable workloads, the public cloud rental model is proving 3-5x more expensive than owning the hardware.
The Egress Cost Trap
Getting data into the cloud is free. Getting it out (Egress Fees) is where the model breaks down for data-heavy AI and video analytics companies. A local object storage solution (like MinIO on Dell servers) eliminates this cost.
Performance Consistency
Multi-tenant neighbors in the public cloud can cause "noisy neighbor" latency spikes. Dedicated on-prem NVMe clusters guarantee consistent IOPS for transactional databases.
