A cloud-based deployment model aligns with their cost preferences. By leveraging cloud services, the company avoids significant upfront capital expenditures (CapEx) on hardware and infrastructure. Instead, they incur operational expenses (OpEx) by paying for the resources they consume. Cloud services also provide scalability, allowing resources to be scaled up or down based on demand. On-premises deployments require substantial initial investment and lack the flexibility of scaling on demand. Hybrid deployments combine on-premises and cloud resources, but still involve upfront costs for local infrastructure. Colocation services entail leasing space in a data center and investing in hardware, which doesn't eliminate the capital expenses.
