Businesses do not need to ditch their existing data cabinets and server racks when they embrace cloud computing, it has been suggested.
Stuart Hibbert, chief executive of icomplete.com, explained that companies can use as many or few services as they wish in the cloud, and use their own in-house IT infrastructures to support the rest.
So if a company has made a significant investment in data centre equipment, there is no need to simply write this off when migrating to hosted services.
Mr Hibbert claimed that many companies are establishing hybrid cloud setups, which utilise both existing hardware and software, and on-demand solutions delivered online.
"You've got services that you're running on-premise, but you've also got peak demand that you need from the cloud," he stated.
"By using a cloud infrastructure you can make sure you've got enough capacity to ensure everybody can actually do what they need to do at that particular point of time."
According to Big Four professional services firm KPMG, up to eight in ten businesses have now embraced cloud computing in some form or other.
