Unplanned downtime is one of the most significant pain points for industrial manufacturers today, costing them an estimated $50 billion each year.

Organizations often adopt a hybrid cloud strategy when deploying their first analytical solution to the cloud. The cloud combines sheer infinite scalability with consumption-based pricing. These are desirable attributes for analytical environments that require scalability and can be very expensive when scaled for maximum capacity over an extended period.
