Service Provider: "Multi tenant" storage question
-
To Service Providers: for your clients, what are using for "multi tenant" storage.
I 'm assuming that you are providing/hosting Infrastructure (VMs, File Servers etc) for clients.
-
We do not. We used to but in this day and age there is no way for us to provide those things at value when ownCloud, Office 365, Amazon, Azure, Rackspace and others do it at a scale and quality that small providers could never achieve. We've have to charge too much and not deliver the same quality level that those players can do to be able to do that ourselves.

My old employer is dismantling their hosted Exchange offering and file backups now, it's too much investment for too much risk for such little benefit to the client.
-
We used to do tons of hosting including VMs, email, instant messaging, storage and more - all if it gone now. It was a decade ago.
