Run Cloud Smarter Across Indiana & Ohio

 

Why Midwest Organizations Are Rethinking Cloud

 

Rising cloud costs, VMware uncertainty, and growing performance requirements are pushing organizations across the Midwest to take a more strategic approach to infrastructure—especially those running critical operations where performance, reliability, and control are essential.

 

Across the region, IT teams are reevaluating where workloads should run to better manage costs, improve performance, and support long-term growth. The focus is shifting toward more predictable spending, greater flexibility beyond VMware, and stronger control over data and environments.

 

Today’s IT leaders aren’t just migrating. They’re making intentional decisions about how infrastructure supports the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are midwest organizations rethinking their cloud strategy right now?

Rising cloud costs, VMware changes, and increasing performance requirements are pushing organizations to reevaluate where workloads should run. Many are looking for more predictable costs, better performance, and greater control across environments.

How does having local infrastructure impact performance?

Keeping workloads closer to users and operations can reduce latency, improve application performance, and strengthen resiliency. It also supports more efficient disaster recovery and hybrid cloud strategies.

Do we need to move off VMware all at once?

No. Most organizations take a phased approach, moving workloads over time to reduce risk and evaluate performance and cost benefits along the way.

What types of workloads should we move first?

Common starting points include development and test environments, disaster recovery, and non-latency-sensitive production workloads. Many organizations expand from there as they gain confidence.
