How Auto-Scaling Techniques Make Public Cloud Deployments More Cost-Effective

Public cloud technologies have been widely adopted by start-ups and small businesses due to their low cost, flexibility and brief set-up time required for the infrastructure. For larger established enterprises, however, the infrastructure set-up time is less of a concern, particularly where private cloud hosting and virtualization have reduced provisioning time considerably. In such organizations, the smaller number of benefits and concerns over data security have meant that public cloud adoption has been less forthcoming. This trend has been particularly noted in the banking sector.
