Businesses are constantly pushed to “go cloud-only”, but is that really the best move? In the very first episode of XOAP’s podcast Cloud Meets Hybrid | Automation Talks, Sinisa, our CTO, dives headfirst into this question. With over 26 years of experience in IT and automation, he’s seen it all – from the early days of Windows 2000 to today’s hybrid cloud complexity.
In this conversation, we unpack why cloud-only isn’t always the golden ticket and explore the hidden challenges businesses face when transitioning from traditional infrastructure to modern, automated environments. Spoiler alert: It’s not as simple as “just move everything to the cloud.”
Key takeaways from Episode 1
- The cloud-only fallacy: Sinisa breaks down why a cloud-only approach might not be feasible – or even desirable – for larger enterprises with on-premises systems. A one-size-fits-all cloud solution is an illusion; hybrid IT is where the real power lies.
- Navigating hybrid IT: Transitioning to hybrid IT isn’t just a shift in technology; it’s a massive overhaul of processes, tools, and thinking. Sinisa walks through the real-world struggles businesses face when trying to manage multiple cloud providers, legacy systems, and automation solutions all at once.
- Beyond infrastructure: Automation isn’t just about provisioning cloud instances. It’s about connecting security, lifecycle management, and application deployment across all platforms. Sinisa explains how XOAP is transforming the automation game for companies of all sizes.
- The future of IT automation: Could AI be the missing piece in the IT automation puzzle? Sinisa discusses how automation is evolving beyond simple tasks and how machine learning might soon be able to handle intelligent remediation and proactive infrastructure management.
