The cloud brings tremendous flexibility and scalability to enterprise hosting, but it is not a panacea. For online retailers and other businesses with a critical online presence, security concerns, performance sensitivity, custom applications, or compliance requirements, traditional, dedicated servers will remain an essential component of their architecture for years to come. Blending hosting strategies requires a special set of management tools and an ability to shift between paradigms as a business grows, as well as choosing partners that understand your business processes.
