Likelihood to Recommend	Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	Well-suited scenarios: 1. Large Organisations with more than at least a thousand employees. 2. Teams spanning across multiple countries or regions. 3. Research institutes require privacy and confidentiality. 4. Educational institutes to separate departments from various attacks. Less appropriate scenarios: 1. Startups have less than 100 employees. 2. Users are accessing resources from the same place.

Pros	Performance via the SSD drives. Writes back to our Private Cloud via Azure. Easy to Admin via Web client interface. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	Serverless connector helps Cloud Run services to communicate privately. Serverless connector supports auto scaling. Being serverless, the cost is based on usage for serverless connector. Incentivized Vinaya Kumar Bendi Engineering Lead Read full review
Cons	Additional fail-over functionality Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	Google Cloud VPC support for Oracle Databases is still the lagging point. Improvement in that front is need of the hour Google Cloud VPC still needs to work on Technical customer services.

Alternatives Considered	Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	On Cloud storage, Google Cloud VPC has an edge over the rest of the service providers. Also, Google Cloud VPC is the ideal choice for AI/ML and data analytics because of Google's reputation in these fields.
