For more than two years, we have observed this trend while consulting companies and working on IT projects. More and more companies are choosing to host IT solutions on their own servers. And it makes sense. In practice, it becomes evident that most disruptions are not caused by the hardware itself but by human factors and the level of expertise of the specialists involved. &ldquo;Own hardware&rdquo; allows better control over data (especially to prevent leaks to competitors), significantly reduces costs, and adapts infrastructure to specific needs. For projects involving containerization and orchestration, the &ldquo;advantage&rdquo; of clouds nearly disappears.</p>
