Balancing Low Latency, High Availability and Cloud Choice Cloud hosting is no longer just an option — it’s now, in many cases, the default choice. As a result, IT teams picked hardware somewhat blindly but with a strong bias towards oversizing for the sake of expanding the budget, leading to systems running at 10-15% of maximum capacity.
