Cloud or on-premises? “Yes,” says Dropbox
Dropbox opted for on-premises IT in the United States and IaaS in Europe. If you're weighing on-premises vs. cloud, learn how each might be right, depending on the workload.
Challenge
Dropbox needed to transform its entire cloud-based IT infrastructure on the fly to accommodate rapid growth.
Solution
Dropbox replaced its public cloud with a high-performance, on-premises private cloud.
“It’s like trying to swap out the engines in a jet midflight without any of your passengers knowing. It’s a huge technical challenge.”
Result
Dropbox is now well positioned to provide outstanding service to enterprise clients, and take its business to the next level.
