I was more thinking like a company of 2-50 people that only need email, computer and user management.
Then the cloud like 365 is fine.
But as you grow you will need to reevaluate the need for local servers, like storage, or in some cases compute.
You need to reevaluate the risks of growing completely dependant on another company for your own company’s future, for some scenarios it absolutely makes sense, for other scenarios absolutely not.
If you weren’t worried about redundancy you could run that all off of one decent sized NUC. For redundancy just buy a couple more. You’d spend significantly more on workers computer than on infra.
Yeah, that’s true.
