In light of exponential data growth, heightened demand for functionality, stricter security requirements, and ever-tightening budgets, how does on-premises object storage compare to public cloud?

In this paper, we compare the economics of on-premises object storage with public cloud for enterprise storage. With demands on enterprise storage higher today than ever before, we first will compare the features and capabilities of on-premises object storage with public cloud and see how they stack up. Then, using a realistic customer scenario, we will analyze the total cost of ownership (TCO) to determine which approach is the most cost-effective for current as well as future enterprise storage needs.
