Why would you buy infrastructure from Dell, HP or new companies such as Cloudistics, Nimble, Pure or Nutanix instead of AWS/Azure?
Does that mean that buying from Dell or HP is more expensive than using AWS or Azure?
Not necessarily. It depends on the specific needs and usage of a company. Purchasing on-premises infrastructure from Dell or HP could be more cost-effective in the long run if a company has predictable usage patterns and does not require the flexibility of the cloud. On the other hand, if a company experiences fluctuating demand, using AWS or Azure's pay-as-you-go pricing model could be more cost-effective.
