- Positive tradeoff on added reliability and speed, monthly pricing enabled proof of concepts and demos to be quantified and priced.
- Does require a bit of a higher skill on the operations and admin side. This often means a higher cost, but the medium to long term ROI is positive.

- We have been able to scale up and down (due to Covid) as required very easily with very little outlay or changes to our bottom line.
- The fact of our ability to own the data on our server is more important than ever, because what is cloud based services but someone else's computer.
- And while this is someone else' hardware, its independently yours for the duration of your usage with them, your server delivering your data
- No locked in contracts have enabled us to be very agile in the way we operate

- Improved customer retention from high uptime.
- Reduced implementation costs from being able to put a solution to market quickly because of Linode's ease of use.
- Improved profitability because of low provider costs.
Great provider that have really let us down with very poor data centre connectivity up time in 2022. Hopefully this will improve, i'm willing to wait and see but you may not be.
