It depends a lot on the profile of your environment and less on the size of your company. For example I you have an established web offering (Linux or Windows) running in your DC but you expect dynamic spikes that you ideally would "cloud burst" but you have to amortize…

I completely agree. Cloud Computing vending is a scale business. And unless you have the $$ Billions to invest in DCs, interconnects, CDN capacity, as well as in continually investing in the OS and Management software infrastructure, you cannot be anything but a vendor…

One other thing to consider in light of the Target data breach: what is the security track record of this system. Monitoring requires very low level access to physical, OS and application infrastructure. One of the doorways that was used in the Target breach, was a common…

Again the usual clarifying questions apply --> What problem are you trying to solve (ie what's not working with what you have today) --> What is the profile of the IT system you are needing to monitor (a Real Time operation will require something different than a 100% PaaS…

2) what does "best" mean? --> Lowest cost? --> Highest reliability? --> lowest cost of development? --> best set of service offerings? --> specific set of capabilities (HIPAA, ISO compliances, HPC computation? --> "hybrid management"?

Yet another person chiming in that the question is generally too broad to answer 1) what does "scale" mean? --> do you mean millions/billons of simultaneous users? --> do you mean petabytes of data? --> do you mean thousands of parallel processing threads? Each "scale"…

My top 3 1) Cost/Performance -- Reduced CapEx....you get state of the art computational power and you pay only for what you use -- Reduced OpEx....with PaaS (not with IaaS) you reduce your OpEx costs by not having to manage your server stack -- Improved Performance (you…
