As in any new industry that shows signs of success,
many enterprises have entered the CSP space.
Sooner or later,
there will be a shake-out in which the less effective or successful fall by the wayside.
Enterprises should consider whether their prospective CSP has the financial stability to provide
continual cloud services during the shake-out
or whether the CSP will be able to transfer the enterprise’s data and/or cloud-based applications back to the
enterprise
if it does cease operations.
