Q

A Business partner has a workload with unpredictable usage and client dissatisfaction spikes during periods of high use due to slow application response times. How can cloud adoption help their business?

  • A move to the cloud will enable the business partner to direct customer calls to the cloud provider’s support desk, which guarantees a response within 2 hours.
  • All cloud providers have 1GB plus connections to the internet; the size of these connections will cope with usage far higher than the business partner already has
  • Cloud Provides Elastic resources which can scale on demand; during peak periods, the. cloud capacity can grow, keeping response times up and customers happy
  • Migration to a microservices-based application in the cloud will provide a global hosting presence so usage is more equally distributed and solves the slow response problem.
