Returning member here for the forums, I used to hang around these boards about a decade ago, in the Networking/Security sub forum. Saw this Cloud forum here..thought I'd come back to get some conversation on the topic going.
We we're an SMB IT firm providing IT services to SMBs. We've moved a lot of our clients from the typical SBS server setup, to Office 365. We do quite a few O365 sales, we're in the CSP program
I'm working on wrapping my head around various ways to bring small offices to "the cloud". Many smaller clients of ours are under 10 computers. With cloud services such as O365, OneDrive, Sharepoint, DattoDrive, etc...I'm struggling to find a reason to have these clients maintain some $5,000.00 server on prem, and many businesses don't really have a need for a domain controller.
Are some of you guys spinning up cloud based DCs...or transitioning over to Azure AD, of finding out how to "hybrid" a client.
