On-Premise vs Cloud Storage: What Should a Small Business Choose?
Small businesses with 5 to 50 employees and no dedicated IT staff choose cloud storage because it costs $50 to $300 per month, scales in minutes, and includes built-in disaster recovery across multiple data centres. On-premise storage suits businesses that process regulated data under HIPAA, SOC 2, or GDPR, run stable high-volume workloads without internet dependency, and employ full-time IT staff to manage hardware, security patches, and backup testing.
