Renting storage and compute resources gives you economic and technological flexibility that no inhouse data center can match. You can launch, scale and adapt IT and analytics initiatives faster and more easily by using cloud platforms such as object-storage data lakes. These projects often straddle hybrid or multi-cloud infrastructures as they layer onto existing environments.
