We Take it to the Cloud!
The Choice: Update locally Hosted Services or Choose Cloud Hosting Options
Pros for locally hosted:
1) Server in house for maintenance
2) Own equipment / 1 time purchase (maybe...)
3) could keep some old equipment/update software
Cons for locally hosted
1) you own the equipment, you "own" the
problems
2) Recurring costs (software licensing
and certificate licensing)
What are the problems
Locally Hosted WiFi:
1) Aging computer equipment and infrastructure
2) Problems with WiFi access limitations vs expectations
3) Aging Software and compatibility with new devices
Locally Hosted EZProxy:
1)Aging server and maintenance of old
eqipment
2)Old unsupported software version
3)SSL certificate issues
